Lindbergh Blvd./St. Louis, Missouri 63166 DSW 260897 STLCO PC B4061814 Introducing Therminol FR-0... Newest member of the growing line of Monsanto heat transfer fluids. Therminol FR-0 was formu lated specifically to eliminate freeze-up during cold weather shut down for in-transit heating of sulfur, pitch, asphalt, naphthalene, bunker "C" fuel oil, and high melting resin materials. Therminol FR-0 eliminates the need for high temperature reheat ing in order to pump out the material at its destination. Low temperature pumpability makes it ideally suited for space heating applications, outdoor plants in Northern climates, or in any application where good fluidity at low tem peratures is a prerequisite. Fire-Resistance... Therminol FR-0 permits installation of a nonpressurized system operating with a liquid that has no fire point, and will not support combustion ... so fire-resistant, Therminol fluids have achieved recognition by Underwriters' Laboratory, Factory Mutual, and Factory Insurance Association. Be cause of this extreme fire-resistance and its listing by insurance companies, important savings can be made in designing a process heating system around Therminol FR-0 fluid. Chemically Speaking... Therminol FR-0 fluid is a chlorinated biphenyl, manufactured under exacting process control to rigid specifications for long term thermal stability, specific heat, thermal conductivity, vapor pressure and viscosity. The liquid is an oily, clear, nearly colorless, fluid with a pour point of - 15F and a minimum pumpable temperature of - 5F. Therminol FR-0 fluid is recommended for use up to 500F and will not show measurable change after years of exposure to such temperatures. The fluid is non-corrosive with all common metals used in heat transfer system designs. Property _ Kinematic Viscosity, cs.

Simple "blow torch" test of new chlorinated- biphenyl heat-transfer fluid demonstrates its extreme fire resistance. To date it is the only heat-transfer fluid to obtain Under writers' Laboratories, Inc. listing. ?:X hy. kK;k': lit*- VvK--kK'' !k;- !K>&:t : r- IKr Fire-resistant Fluids Give New Safety to Heat Transfer A new class of process heating has become available to industry follow ing the recent Underwriters' Labora tories, Inc., listing of a family of heattransfer fluids which operate at at mospheric pressures and which are far less a potential fire hazard than are the petroleum oils and synthetic fluids now commonly used in lowpressure heat-transfer systems. Heat -- at ever higher tempera tures -- is an increasingly important processing tool of industry. And in "putting on the heat," industry has turned to the economy, flexibility and precise temperature control obtain able through fluid heat transfer. It is not only common but also indispen sable in the production of chemicals, food products, paints, petroleum, etc. Water and steam are excellent and universal heat-transfer media, of course. But, above temperatures of 350-450 F., in certain applications, the need for expensive high pressure equipment may rule out steam sys tems in favor of those using highboiling fluids. These may be petro leum oils with relatively high flash points or, more often, thermally stable and noncorrosive synthetic fluids designed for the purpose. In some instances, these fluids vaporize at about 500 F. to simulate steam operation, but at much lower pres sures for any given temperature. Up until now, however, the use of petroleum oils or synthetic fluids for heat transfer has introduced the prob lem of potential fire hazard. These are combustible liquids which usually are circulated at temperatures at or above their fire points in closed sys tems. Should a break occur in such a system, personnel and equipment could be threatened by a flammable "wick" of vapor or fluid dangerously near its fire point. Consequently, all of the precautions associated with the circulation of a flammable fluid must apply to such systems. A new class of chlorinated-biphenyl heat-transfer fluids which are ther mally stable, noncorrosive and ex tremely fire resistant appears to offer a sorely needed method of hightemperature industrial heating with minimum hazards. The manufacturer of these fluids reports that they have undergone five years of testing by more than 200 industrial cooperators, during which time there has been no instance of a heat-transfer fluid fire implicating any of these chlorinatedbiphenyl fluids. Industrial field use of these fluids has included the heating of resin ket tles, reaction vessels, metalworking press platens, cooking fats for deep frying, steam production in a nonfired heat exchanger and even the heating of hazardous jet engine fuels for high-temperature tests of engine performance. In one reported instance of a chlorinated-biphenyl heat-transfer fluid installation in a paint manu facturing plant, a tube-bundle failure Reprinted from August, 1962 FIA Sentinel, Factory Insurance Association in the fluid heater caused the fluid to pour out into the fire box. Although there was a heavy fuming of the vaporizing fluid up the stack of the heater, there was no visible flame nor fire damage to the plant. With the repair of the tube bundle -- and a fresh supply of fluid -- the plant was back in production with a minimum of expense and work interruption. Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., has rated the new chlorinated-bi phenyl heat-transfer fluids at 2-3 in respect to fire hazard, according to its Standard Classification of Liquids in which ratings are: Ether........................... 100 Gasoline...................... 90-100 Alcohol (ethyl)......... 60-70 Kerosene..................... 30-40 Paraffin oil................. 10-20 High-pressure-boiler codes are not fully applicable to systems employing the chlorinated-biphenyl fluids which are used in equipment operating at atmospheric pressure. In addition, since these fluids do not support com bustion in their heat-transfer applica tion, it appears that safety precau tions now considered necessary for oil or synthetic-fluid heat-transfer sys tems may be modified for this class of fire-resistant fluids. Each installation must be considered individually, of course, because of other fire hazards which may be present in a given in dustrial plant.

When second digit of number is 2 or 4 the material is distilled and re fined. All others are crude and black in color. Aroclor compounds are good plasticizers and resin extenders for vinyls, epoxies, chlorinated rubber, polysulfide rubber, high styrene-butadiene, styrenated alkyds, alkyds, epoxy resins, ethyl cellulose cellulose acetate butyrate, nitrocellulose, polystyrene, asphaltic materials and polyethylene for use in lacquer, plastic, paint varnish, pigment and wax compositions. Flexibility decreases and hardness increases as the chlorine content in creases. A satisfactory balance of properties is usually obtained by proper selection or by blending Aroclor plasticizers. Ethyl cellulose coatings with high gloss, flexibility and exceptional water resistance are produced through the use of Aroclor as plasticizers. Aroclor plasticizers may be used as carriers or vehicles in many inks and pigment grinds. Aroclor compounds are highly compatible with polysulfide rubber. Nitrocellulose coatings with improved moisture resistance, adhesion and flame retardancy are obtained by using Aroclor plasticizers. Aroclor 1260, 4465, 5460 are commonly used in varnishes and paints to impart flexibility without decreasing hardness. The lower Aroclor compounds (1221-1248) exert a strong plasticizing ac tion on natural and synthetic rubbers. Aroclor 1254 is used as a plasticizer for chlorinated rubber (Parlon) and copolymer styrene butadiene (Pliolite S-5) protective coatings where flame retardance, chemical resistance and corrosion resistance are required. Aroclor compounds are effective plasticizer extenders in vinyl chloride dispersions coatings and extrusions. They are more compatible, heat resistant, faster fusing and more oil resistant than chlorinated paraffins. Aroclor 1221, 1232 and 1242 are efficient plasticizers for polyvinyl acetate adhesives. They impart high tack and do not require pre-melting since they are liquids. Aroclor 5460 is an outstanding additive in Eva Hot Melt Adhesives. Literature Aroclor Compounds--Wax Modifications CS-18.
