PACKARD ELECTRIC Although we have Packard's compounding ingredients, we we do not yet have the formulation in which they are to be used. Bob Slapsak has promised to send the formulation. D. TENNCEO Test results thus far on Cyastab 523-0 versus Tribase XL-oiled in Tenneco's formulation are confusing. This may be due to the fact that the differences in VR readings we see are within the experimental error of the test. So far it appears that, while 800-rO is superior to Tri base - oiled, 523-0 may be slightly inferior to Tribase XLoiled. We will make a 523-0 with Barium Stearate to see if that makes any difference. E. GEORGIA- PACIFIC Master Batches and stabilizers have been sent to Bridgewater for repeat Injection Molding & Izod impact testing F.
