Joyce J. T. ---Ren-shaw-- E. C. Wilde - 1010 Several telephone conversations have been held between J. T. Renshaw and D. W. Ward and by Lloyd Filer and me. Both companies are interested in developing a laminating adhesive that can be used by Ford to adhere PVC film to a polyester knit. We will work with a plastisol based on Geon 130X17: Geon 130X17 PVC "e" grade Plasticizer (70:30 S-711/S-261) 50 50 85 Laboratory work needs to be done on adhesion to an all polyester knit. Ford is sending fresh film and fabric. BFG is sending their resin nomi nations . : When the lab work is completed, the plastisol laminating adhesives will be mixed at J. H. Day Company in Cincinnati. The mixed materials need to be shipped promptly to Ford and tested immediately; the viscosity stability will not be very good. Lloyd Filer will make the arrangements with J. H. Day Company and he will have a BFG truck to haul the plasticizer to Detroit. Don, arrangments with Ford for the trial are your responsibility. Jim or I will advise you when the lab work is completed, when we can get time or Day's mixing equipment and when we would like to run at Ford. If anyone has questions regarding the progyam,xplease give me a call. JHO/gls "j. \ H\T)reflr^ P.S. Dispersion grade PVC selling prices: Geon 130X17% per lb. 53c/lb. Geon 128 40c/lb. Geon 135 41c/lb.

Monsanto's Plasticizer Application Research test method is stated for your reference: A 3 mil film of adhesive is applied to kraft paper. At 15 second intervals, 1" x 6" strips are placed on the adhesive film. "Open Time" is the point where the strips no longer bond to the first sheet of paper because the adhesive has set.
