PURCHASING Here Is the Dow VCM sales specification. We have also included our Material Safety Data Sheet. From our experience, Dow VCM appears to set an Industry standard for quality. We have asked your permission to ship VCM at our option from B. F. Goodrich's LaPorte, Texas facility. A trade-out opportunity exists for Dow and would save us freight costs versus shipping from Plaquemlne, Louisiana. The B. F. Goodrich VCM sales specifications are: Item VCM HCL Acetylene Acetaldehyde Water Sulfur Iron Non-Volatiles Methyl Chloride Butadiene Limit 99.96Z 1 PPM 1 PPM 1 PPM (not listed in Dow spec) 100 PPM 1 PPM (not listed in Dow spec) 0.4 PPM 50 PPM 60 PPM (Dow 40 PPM) 8 PPM (Dow 2 PPM) You indicated that you would prefer not to take VCM from LaPorte, Texas at this time. It's our understanding that B. F. Goodrich's typicals show tighter limits than the sales specs. If U.C.C. would advise us which sales spec items are objectionable, we could get these better defined. Thank you for considering this request and we look forward to your reply Sincerely, a* . ih i L.
