Dear Dr. McCormick:
We have your request of March 27 for a statement regarding acceptability of Geon Resin 500X7^9 && a component of plastic film used for packaging product prepared under Federal meat inspection.
On the basis of your assurance that Geon Resin 50OX7U9 is composed of polyvinyl chloride and Hycar rubber to vhich has been added approximately 1$ of Santooerse X,' plastic film containing the resin, if otherwise satisfactory, is accept able to this Division for packaging meat and meat food product.
Very truly yours,

Tand additional information about the properties of Geon Resin 404. Designed for rigid applies* tions, its outstanding chemical resistance makes it ideal for uses where corrosion is a problem--and where rigidity and tensile strength are important. Typical examples of such uses are fume hoods and duct work, tanks for corrosive chemicals, metal tank liners. In addition, Geon 404 is suitable for trays, funnels, buckets, etc.
Geon 404 possesses all the excel* lent properties of straight polyvinyl chloride, and can be processed without plasticizer addition on standard equipment. In addition to its outstanding chemical resistance, Geon 404 also provides exceptional strength coupled with lightweight, and excellent electrical properties. For further information, please write for Bulletin G-6, Dept. GF-3, B. F. Goodrich Chemical Company, Rose Building, Cleveland 15, Ohio. In Canada: Kitchener, Ontario. Cable address: Goodchemco.
