Houghton Madison & Van Buren Avenues Valley Forge, Pennsylvania 19482 Dear Dr. Kin: The following is in response to your question regarding the presence of Dioxin or Dioxin precursors in Vista LP Solvent. This product has not been analyzed specifically for dioxin or potential precursors. However, there is no reason to believe they would be present based on the feedstocks used and the production process in general. There is little possibility for the chemicals to be present in the feedstocks or formed in the process. Sincerely, vj/t ft Thomas G.
