ABD00309259 VINYL - J. D. Olson, W. S. Carroll Safety The Vinyl Department had no injuries in December. The monthly safety meetings were held on shift. General 1. December production was 48.2MM pounds of which 46.6MM pounds was prime grade resin. Percent asset utilization was 98.2%. A new MADR will be issued in January based on the December production numbers.

A new record production of 48.2MM was set in December. This eclipses the previous record of 43.7MM set in September, 1993. A new daily charge record of 38 batches was set on December 23 and December 24. 3. We were informed by Klockner that 5325 has been suspended from further testing until early summer of 1994. A team has been formed to develop an improved 5325 resin for Klockner.
