r vs V Springfield, Massachusetts / S< ? ~ o ,1958 -..M.Debing V.A.Hamilton P..0.Jackson D.E.Philpott J.A.Tierney A.R.Baker Texas City, Texas ! Sludge In Vinyl Chloride Monomer Tank Cars Here at 8pringfield 5 cars of vinyl chloride monomer left large quantities of sludge in the lines upon pumping. Solution in cyclohexanone with filtration and evaporation Indicate a portion of this sludge itOjbe polymer. Those cars exhibiting this behavior were as follows: IPX pumped 8/14/58 QATX76245 8/19/58 GATX78259 " GATX37S74 " 8/18/58 8/23/58 ^ 0ATX37804 8/23/58 The quantities observed could leac to serious trouble in our lines i if touch more build-up should take place. Have you any information V as to why this should be noted in these certain cara and not in others? Could It have been the prior loads such as uninhibited monomer, from accumulation of sludge in a storage tank. Or some other source? 1 Anything you can offer to explain this would be much appreciated. RSV0030989
