Robertaon k,March 1955 Sr, Kirias Sachs Bureau of Adult and Occupational Health State of Mew Jersey Department of Health Trenton 8, Hew Jersey Dear Dr. Sacha: Re: "Vinylite" Resin VYNV-5 Tour letter of February twenty-first to our Bakellte Company has been referred to me for answering. This product, which la shipped as a dried powdered resin, is a copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate In ratios of approximately 97 per cent vinyl chloride and 3 per cent vinyl acetate. These basic vinyl resins are extremely inert physiologically. It la our impression that any adverse effects that have been noted from contact with finished products of such resins have been due to the stabiliser, plasticiser, or other materials, that might be added later on. There are no solvents or other materials In the basic "Vinylite" resin VTKV-5. Ve are attaching a copy of the specification sheet for this resin, Xf it will be helpful to you, requests for toxicity information on any products manu factured by Onion Carbide and Carbon Corporation are handled through this office.
