TENNECO TENNECO POLYMERS; INC, (COMPANY) INTEROFFICE COMMUNICATION TO: P&M LEGAL FOR: CHARLES BERESFORD FROM: C. TABATA RE: BAG LABELLING DATE: JANUARY 15, 1985 As per our phone conversation on January 14, the Burlington plant has asked if there would be a problem in getting new labels (printed) on resins bags. Currently, blending resin bags are labelled "PVC Resin" and copolymer bags "Vinyl Copolymer". The bags are identical in size and configuration. The plant feels that by using a common label, they can save on inventory costs as well as the bag price itself. In both cases, the actual grade of resin is stenciled. A generic term such as "Vinyl Resin" or "PVC resin" would be applicable to both, although the letter is more common for homopolymer. Please comment if there is a problem in using the same bags for both types of resins from a legal standpoint. /dim cc: R. W. Stevens W. Miringoff C.

Beresford BAG LABELING INTEROFFICE COMMUNICATION DATE: January 18, 1985 OHSA regulations 29 CFR 1910-1017 require that all containers of polyvinyl chloride must be labeled: Polyvinyl Chloride Contains Vinyl Chloride Vinyl Chloride is a Cancer-Suspect Agent OSHA regulations will permit the substitution in the label of the words "polyvinyl chloride", but the remaining wording must exist. It would appear there are no labeling requirements that would prevent your labeling the bags "Vinyl Resin" for use to contain either PVC or co-polymer resin. You would have to put the standard OSHA warning as mentioned above. Charles E. Beresford acm TEN-P 0022 LtCNMOA V84
