\ pyrocLor MonsantoTRANSFORMER COOLANT BY Pyroclor it Monsanto's brand name for its fir# resistant trantformar aakarel. Tha ttrm "askarei", at dafintd by ASTM, ganarally datcribaa a broad elan of fire resistant synthetic chlorinated hydrocarbon liquids used at alactrieal Insulation madia in transformers. Trantformar askarels ware first used in the United States in 1932 and incorporate chlorinated biphenyl - one of tha bast liquid Insulation materials aver developed. This Inart material Is chemically stable, fire resistant, heat stable, non-corrosive and has high dielectric strength under tha operating conditions encountered in transformers. In Europe, aakarel transformers form a large percentage of the distribution transformers installed today. In Franca, one third of tha distribution transformers brought into service each year are of this type. PYROCLOR B This Is tha recommended fluid for all Pyroclor-filted transformers operating at normal ambient temperature conditions. Should special operating conditions be envisaged, please consult with Monsanto - It may be possible to provide a modified product HONS 071920 1 TOWOLDMON0021251 Advantages of Pyroclor 1. Pyroclor it very flrt resistant. It mists ignition and tasts hava shown it dost not bum continuously at a rssult of transformar arcing. 2. Pyroclor-fiiiad transformers naed no special firs precautions at part of the transformer installation. 3. Pyrodor-filled transformers offer greater siting flexibility, particularly writers space is limited. They can be locatad indoors, dost to working areas or at the load centra. 4. Properly sealed Pyroclor-fillad transformers require little or no maintenance of the fluid over many years of service. 5. Its permittivity it such that the distribution of electrical stress in the transformer Is more uniform.

Storage Inalda storage of drums la racommandad id avoid moisture contaminatlon. If drums ham to ba atorad outaida they should bo stacked on their sides with bungs uppermost to prevent moisture being auckad in by breathing. Partially emptied drums should not ba left open to the air. The supply of Pyroclor In bulk offers many advantages to medium and large users. Unloading, storing and transferring to the production unit 1s safer, easier and cheaper. Material losaas due to spUtaga and Incomplete emptying of drums Is minimised. The possibility of product contamination during handling is greatly reduced. Evan where storage and handling facilities are not atpresentavailable, the eoonomics of bulk handling may quickly pay for the tanks and piping systems required. A booklet, indicating the typo of system necessary, Is available from Monsanto and experienced Monsanto personnel are available for site discussion regarding the moat suitable bulk installation and off-loading procedure. It it essential that both drum and bulk storage areas should ba organised to that leakages and spillagtt can ba collected for sofa disposal.

Avoid breathing Pyroclor vapour, mist or fumes. infraquant axpoaura to Pyroclor vapour is unlikely to causa III affects, but prolonged axpoaura to high vapour concentrations must ba avoided. At normal ambient temperature, in wall venti lated anas, tha concentration of Pyroclor will ba below that likaly to causa harm. For handling hot Pyroclor In a confined space, a raapirator with an active carbon canister should ba worn. 4. Do not sat, drink, or smoke whan handling Pyroclor. Although Pyroclor is not particularly toxic whan ingested orally, this simple precaution will minlmias hazard. Rons 021924 TOWOLDMONOQ21255 Disposal of Pyroclor Waete Where ponible the deetruetion of Pyroclor weete thouId be eeeomplidled through carefully controlled high temperature incineration. Thit requires a special incineration facility providing a suitable balance between temperature, dwell-timo, oxygen end auxiliary fuel and provision for removal of hydrochloric acid gas from the gaasaous emissions. This facility must also make provision for hendllng the waste which may range from mobile fluid to solid, Impregnated with Pyroclor.* If such a facility does not exist, nibjact to the provisions of local regulations, the waste rfiould be consigned to a waste disposal she designated for toxic materials. Do not use empty Pyroclor drums except for waste Pyroclor. Before disposal they should be thoroughly drained and then flushed twice with kerosene type solvent. The solvent should be incinerated and the washed drums consigned to a waste disposal site. Alternatively incinerate unwashed drums in a suitable incinerator. During handling and disposal of waste Pyroclor take great care to avoid pollution, particularly of drains and waterways. *PImm ask Momanto for up4o4ito Information on facilities available for Incineration of Pyrodor.

Tha hazard of potantial toxic exposure varlas with thair volatility; tha lossar chlorinatad, mot* volatlia ones prasant mors of a potantial problem from tha standpoint of both inhalation and skin contact. Whan askarel fluids are usad at elevated temperatures, engineering controls must be appliad, either by tha use of closed systems or by effective local exhaust ventilation together with general work room exhaust. Vapours of atkaral at room temperature should not be breathed in e confined space and no vapour of any fluid evolved at elevated temperatures should be allowed to be dispersed into tha general workroom. Inhalation testa on animals indicate that tha maximum safe con centration of vapour it in the range from 0.6 to 1.0 milligramme per cubic metre of air. The threshold limit value (maximum allowable concentration of an 8-hour working day) sat by tha American Conferenca of Governmental Hygienists is 1.0 milli gramme of the lower-chlorinated biphenyl compounds par cubic metre of air and 0.5 milligramme of the mora-hlghly-chlorinatad compounds, per cubic metre of air. II. Skin Contact Prolonged or repeated skin contact with tha askarel fluids must be avoided by tha use of gloves and protective garments, because of tha possible occurrence of a condition called chloracne. Although reports of this condition caused by askarel are rare. It can be produced by excessive ddn contact. If the fluid Is spilled on the skin, tha skin should be washed in the usual manner with a soap solution. A burn caused by contact with a hot askarel should be trested like any ordinary burn.
