COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
Here Is an analysis of where our chlorinated biphenyls are used as plasticizers (1968 figures). This should be treated as company confidential Information.
1. No carbon required paper
NCR : 6.0 M Pounds Aroclor 1242
Until mid-1968, only NCR plant was at Dayton, Ohio. There is now a plant at Portage, Wisconsin on stream.
2. Distributors
Our distributors resold 4.5 "FT pounds chlorinated biphenyls in 1968. It is impossible to pinpoint all uses. I estimate surface coatings is the biggest market.
3. Hot Melt Adhesives
Du Pont at Parlin, New Jersey uses 460 M pounds (mainly Aroclor 1248) in a hot melt adhesive for bookbinding.
4. Sealants
Aroclors are used in polysulfide sealants (auto motive windscreen sealant and light construction e.g., window sealants). *1968 sales were 1.4 M pounds (Aroclor 1248/Aroclor 1254). Our largest customers are Products Research at Burbank, California and Gloucester City, Pennsylvania (680 M pounds) and Sonneborn in New Jersey (225 M pounds).

5. Adhesives
Rubber adhesives, etc. accounted for 0.8 M pounds in 1968 of which 400 M pounds went to 3-M.
6. Coatings
In 1968/ we sold 1.3 M" pounds on a direct basis to this market. Our biggest direct customers in
this market is Sherwin-Williams (Cleveland) at
140 M pounds and Koppers (Pittsburgh/Newark) at 250 M pounds.
7* Miscellaneous
Approximately 0.7 M pounds chlorinated biphenyls are used In miscellaneous applications as fire retardant additives, wax compounds, etc.

of Sales

We sold 48 M pounds of chlorinated biphenyl plasticizers in Northern California (mainly SPO Bay area) in 1968. If we assume they all found their way into the sea, I have tried to calculate a possible concentration.
At 1 ppm, this would be equivalent to having all this Aroclor in an area 50 miles x 200 yards out from the shore with an average depth of 5 feet. -
DSW 372180 STLCOPCB4098862
I estimate that the coastline of the water within the confines of the Golden Gate Bridge is 150-200 miles. One would expect tides to reduce the level substantially below 1 ppm and, furthermore, the 48 M pounds were sold over the full year.
