Morton International Specialty Chemicals Group Thomas G. Kugele Vice President. Research and Development, Technical Director Industrial Chemicals and Additives October 11, 1991 Mr. Charles A. Daniels, Ph.D. Director of Research & Development GOODRICH GEON VINYL DIVISION Technical Center P. O. Box 122 Avon Lake, OH 44012-0122 Dear Dr. Daniels: Mr. Larry Kuykendall, Morton International in Cincinnati, has asked that I write you concerning the safe use of Morton's methyltin stabilizers. I'm sure Larry has presented many good reasons for you to consider Morton's products but I'd like to offer the enclosed publication from the Packaging Technology and Science Journal to support our position that Morton products can be used safely. Dr. Karl Figge, author of the publication, is a leading European authority on PVC, especially migration of additives. The NATEC Institut is an independent research organization similar to the Battelle Institute with which we're familiar. Although the entire article is of interest, please note Part III, page 29 on methyltin stabilizers and especially the sections on volatilization of organotin stabilizers (pg. 33) as well as Table 2 (pg. 34) and Table 3 (pg. 37). If we can be of additional assistance, please let me know. Sincerely, TGK:cg Ends. cc: Mr. L. R.
