St. Louit. Missouri 83168 Phont; (314) 894*1000 July 22. 1974 Received Al|f P-j-JOSENHAHT' Dear customers In my letters dated April 10, 1974, and May 24, 1974, I discussed the levels of residual vipyl chloride monomer (VCM) in Monsanto's Monflex and Polvin (ethylene vinyl chloride latices). 1` I would now like to inform you that through an active research program we have determined a method to lower the vinyl chloride monomer content of our latices.. Our feasibility studies indicate that it is practical from a manufacturing point of view. As the project develops and taking into account delivery times on equipment, which we have on order, we should be able to effect the reduction of VCM in our latices early in the second quarter of 1975. We intend to proceed with our program and: will keep you informed of our progress as it develops. Sincerely, W. B.
