Present Situation Lead stabilizers, budgeted for sales of M7.85 lbs. in 1980 are shipped 2000 lbs. (40. x 50 lb. bags) to the pallet. As a result of restrictive government regulations regarding air borne lead dust concentration, three of our major customers (Ml.6 lbs. annual sales) now require that we stretch wrap all shipments. This overwrap will contain any lead dust generated by product sifting from the paper bags. In 1977 a heat cannon was purchased for shrink wrapping a relatively small volume of the stabilizer sales. However, this unit is not designed for the volume of business now involved. Justification The Chicago Plant has been advised by sales (see attached letter) that three of our major customers totaling Ml.6 lbs./year sales require stretch wrapping. With growing interest at other accounts for use of the stretch wrapping technique, it is prudent on our part to quickly satisfy the requests of the stabilizer customers. -( It is estimated that the additional cost for stretch wrapping stabilizer will be $0.001/lb. This proposal has been reviewed with A.Bokros and George Van Hare with no objection noted.. Commercial Factors This order supports a plant budget for lead stabilizers as follows: Sales-Pounds 8,650,000 Budget for 1979 Sales-Dollars $4,512,000 Profit on Sales 1,548,000 (34%) 4** A AAA C VAATAM I JD> Sales-Pounds 6,419,200 First nine (9) months of 1979 Sales-Dollars $4,404,900 Profit on Sales 1,195,500 (27.1%) Details of Proposal Purchase one International Packing Machines, Inc. (I.P.M.) stretch wrap machine for the purpose of stretch wrapping pallets pf PVC lead heat stabilizer. Production Factors This proposal will not alter product quality or production rate. Contingent Future Commitments This proposal will not require additional funds to complete. Alternatives Considered ! 1. Shrink wrapping-installation costs estimated at 12-$17,000 with annual operations cost far in excess of stretch wrapper. ; 2. Manual overwrapping and strapping is more expensive and does not perform as well. Risks No operating risks are involved. Concise Summary Installation of the stretch wrapping machine will allow the plant to satisfy customer demands and maintain the excellent sales position now enjoyed by lead stabilizer (Cyastab). Failure to provide this customer service could result in significant loss of sales.j r-VlWT QUOTATION From .

Gaffney Location: CG Plant From: R, F. Anderson Location: bb Extension: Subject: Lead Stabilizer Stretch Wrapping Date: 6/5/79 Reference: Copy to: T1. B. Dorf H. A. McKenzie J. J,, Cardone L. C. Allen G. A. Menghi J. A. Zebrowski As discussed on several occasions, there is growing interest in the use of plastic overwraps for the palletized shipments of lead sta bilizers. Three of our major customers, Tenneco, Teknor Apex, and Conoco, now require that we stretch wrap all palletized shipments. These three customers collectively comprise 1.6 M pounds annually of stabilizer business and there is growing interest at other accounts in the use of a pallet overwrap. Since our current "heat gun" approach to shrink wrapping appears inadequate for the volume of business now involved, we strongly suggest that arrangements be made to purchase the more efficient stretch wrap unit that reportedly costs approximately $8,000. This request is consistent with our desire to be a leader in responsible packaging of potentially toxic plastics additives. AMERICAN CYANAMID CO. 4500 W. 15th ST. CHICAGO, ILL. 60023 . RFA:sd R. F.
