Mietourf B31SB Phnna: <814) TO4-1000 August 14, 1970 .OfKMMe CimilCALS wuso* Dear Sirs You have received our letters of February 27, 1970 and June 1, 1970 covering Monsanto's withdrawal of poly chlorinated biphenyls (FCBs) from the market. The February 27 letter reviewed some of the potential hazards of FCBs and of environmental polution In general. The June 1 letter announced that we were withdrawing all poly chlorinated biphenyls used as plasticizers or modifiers from the market, and that the last shipment of these materials would be made August 30, 1970. In as much as you may have some inventory of these materials which you might be planning to use during the period In which you change over to other products, we felt it Impera tive to inform you of the latest information concerning FCBs. Xt was recently brought to our attention that the Food and Drug Administration has apparently established guidelines setting forth suggested maximum levels of FCBs allowable in certain foods. These levels, as we understand them, are 5 parts per million in fish and 0.2 parts per million in milk. Monsanto, therefore, strongly recommends that FCBs not be used in applications which could lead, either directly or indirectly, to the contamination of food and water supplies for humans or animals. Examples of appli cations which would seem particularly hazardous would be ooatlngs for water treatment facilities, coatings for food handling equipment, or coatings for such farm items as silos and feed hoppers. LEXOLDMONOOQ291 oI -2- It has recently come to our attention that PCBs have been found In cows milk. This adda emphasis to Monsanto's re commendation that PCBs not be used In any application where they might come In contact with or otherwise contaminate food, silage, water supplies, etc. The latest available bulletin on our line of Aroclors is enclosed for your use. This publication replaces and supercedes bulletin O/PL-306 - Aroclor Plasticisers. The only products listed which will be sold after August 31, 1970 are l) Aroclor 1221, a monochlorinated biphenyl which Is readily biodegradable, and 2) ArocloPB 5442 and 5460, both chlorinated terphenyls which have not shown themselves to be environmental contaminants. Please pay special atten tion to the section of this bulletin Which relates to environmental hazards. In addition to the products listed above which will remain on the market, Monsanto will sell a series of blends of Aroclor 1221 and Aroclor 5460 which will replace the poly chlorinated biphenyls for many applications. During this withdrawal of PCBs from the market, Monsanto has had in effeqt a modified returned goods policy stating that unopened containers less than one year old oculd be returned for full credit through July 31, 1970. Prom August 1 through August 31, 1970, 90 percent credit would be allowed. Prom September 1 through December 31, 1970, 50 percent credit would be allowed. The customer will pay all return freight. All of the dates in the time schedule for this returned goods policy are hereby extended an additional two months............ Monsanto realizes that the removal of these products from the market has oaused a great deal of concern and expense for our customers. This is certainly regrettable. However, it appears to us that as a responsible supplier, this is the only reasonable course of action. We stand ready to assist you as we can with your reformulation work. ............. ..... ....................... .......... /dbw Vpi^/reapeotful^y, y.

One outstanding characteristic -- Alertness -- makes Aroclor useful in many -ways for many different applications. The major benefits offered by Aroclor indude: Chemical Resistance Fire Retardsince Compatibility with most resins Nonoxidation Adhesivity Low Cost Monsanto's Aroclor plasticizers comprise a series of chlorinated bi phenyls and chlorinated polyphenyls. They vary from mobile, oily liquids to white crystals and hard, transparent resins. Twelve of the Arodcr plasticizers, each of which represents a series, are discussed in this bulletin. An understanding of the system for designation of each Aroclor should prove useful in the evaluation of the property gradations among them. The last two digits indicate the approximate weight percentage of chlorine in the product, and the first two digits indicate the type of material, as follows: 12 -- chlorinated biphenyls 25 -- blend of chlorinated biphenyls and chlorinated tripfaenyls (75:25) 44 -- blend of chlorinated biphenyls and chlorinated triphenyls (60:40) 54 -- chlorinated triphenyls ' For nearly every Aroclor mentioned, a darker, less-pure grade exists, with about the same physical and chemical characteristics, but lower in price. The Aroclor liquids and resins are readily soluble in most: common organic solvents and drying oils. Although all Aroclor plasticizers are insoluble in water, the hard, crystalline materials are generally less soluble than the liquids and softer resins. Solubilities of some Aroclor plasticizers are shown in Table 1. h i 3 LEXOLDMONOOQ295 TABLE 1 Add AwtfcAdd OMeAdd Bwgfllt Add* AHrtvd* (DXFnnMrdt furtmi sotUBitnus of /woods pusnciznts m various solvhvis AmhrtttZ ire Hat Aroeht 124t zrc m ArecfarlZSt ' AnttorllM tsre Hat cm net Wss * ~--ss IM---P^F ----- --ss " --sr I III III I ""'vs " VS vs Vs"" vs VS '"tj1 '-g~ Aiwt ~'PAFnrii<liMiM ~ u?.yS*-F wS ---- --- iwS teaSm --_" --_ CHanidtiftltiw* AartcMotWw--anad CaifeaaTatracMarida S s 3 5_________3_______ S_________ 3_______ --_______ -- SS 3S S-- -- Oibwtww ' S S 3 3 S 8 3 3" DicUoretitylne -- ---- -- -- ---- -- {Hrdtne'i'i'rtloriOe SSS3SSSS MOrtouofttdMfcOwTlmtaagwaw --8S-- S-- S-- S-- 5-- ---- ---- TettatHorettana ......... 8 S 3 3 3 5 -- -- ^TncftT^^tSana__________--5^^------------~-- Trithlarethyleta S SS 38 S-- -- LByiagOI Tom Oil________________ S________ ________3_________3_______ S________ 3_______ - thiJOil ~ S' s ""S'" '3 S St -T Eatar Anyl Acatata BrtdAaetata 'Ctlhsatn'~ Aaaaia CnttMneiAOa OibatrlffttMata SSS3SS 5 S 3S S 3 3 3 3s S 3 S S 3 3..... ,3 S 3 S SS S $ SS SS ---- --S S~ Arntartm AaderHfg CaM Hat 2TC S3 T I TC vI s--1" -- -- vs vs vs "vs VS "v VsSs f-ir "vs fs " vs vs vs vs -- vs vs_____ - VS VS -- vs vs_____ -- vs vs_____ -- VS VS - vs_____ vs vs_____ vs vs_____ vs VS_______ VS vs vs s_____ vs s vs fe f F I! iII I 5 It I i I Ii I r. i LEXOLDMONOOQ296 Ethyl Acetate Etkyl Ucul*" Etbybm Clyral Diacetato Matfiyt Ararat* Tiicrasyl Phostfrata n--r-e*t-tn-.-yi i--c1tn-a- r S 8 5 S s s SSS S 5' S s --5---------3-- sss sss "S' 3 s S g S s s s S S s $ s s EthvrAlcotaf CttUtaf agare Spire .

He LEXOl DMDMnnn^no The viscosities of the Arodor plasticizers vary according to whether the base material is a biphenyl or a polyphenyl and on the degree of chlorination. In general the low-chlorinated biphenyls have the lowest viscosities (Figure 3). LEXOLDMON000303 Toxicity And Sail Handlist Mnhtiaa At ordinary temperatures the Arodor chlorinated polyphenyls have not presented industrial toxicological problems. He hazard of potential toxic exposure varies with their volatility: the: lower-chlorinated, morevolatile ones present more of a potential problem from the standpoint of both inhalation and skin contact. When Arodor plasticizers are used at derated temperatures, engineering controls must be applied, either by the use of dosed systems or by effective local-exhaust ventilation together with general workroom exhaust. Vapor of the liquid Arodor plasticizers at room temperature should not be breathed in a confined space, and no vapor of any Arodor evolved at elevated temperatures should be allowed to be dispersed into the general workroom. Inhalation tests on animals indicate that the maximum safe concen tration of vapor is in the range of from 0.5 to 1.0 milligram of the lower-chlorinated Arodor plasticizers per cubic meter of sir. The threshold limit values (maximum allowable concentration for an 8bour working day) set by tbe American Conference of Government Hygienists are 1.0 milligram of the lower-chlorinated Arodor com pounds per cubic meter of air and 0.5 milligram of the more-bighlychlorinated compounds, such as Arodor .1254, per cubic meter of air. SAla Contact Schwartz patch tests on 200 volunteers showed that Arodor 1254 was neither a primary skin Irritant or a sensitizer. Prolonged or repeated skin contact with the Arodor plasticizers must be avoided by the use of gloves and protective garments, because of the possible occurrence of a condition called chloracne. Although re ports of this condition caused by Arodor are rare, it can be produced by excessive skin contact. If any Arodor is spilled on the skin the skin should be washed in the usual manner with a soap solution. A burn caused by contactwith a hot Arodor should be treated like any ordinary bum. Arodor plasticizer adhering to the burned area need not be removed immediately, unless treatment of the bum demands it, in which case either soap and water or repeated washings with a vegetable oil am recommended. fs EnvinmsBUfffusnfs Aroclor 1232, Aroclor 124% Aroclor 1248, Arodor 1264, Aroclor 1260, Aroclor 1262, Aroclor 1263, Aroclor 446% and Montar 1 all contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) of various types and in varying amounts. FCB residues n email amounts have been found in the environment and some studies have indicated thatthey may he harmful to certain forms of animal life. Extreme care should therefore be taken by all users of PCB-containing products to prevent any entry into the environment through spills, leakage, use, disposal, vaporization or otherwise. Further, the products in which PCB materials are used, or which are formulated using PCB materials as a component, should be given careful study to eliminate the possibility that PCB might reach the environment as a result of use in a given application. Some specific applications where the use of PCB should definitely be avoided are in paints and sealants fa- swimming pools, paints and waterproofing agents in silos and other buildings where food products for humans or animals are stored, and as a component of any container or wrapping used in the packaging of food products. !
