SPRINOOATE REOc,Wcn JUN2 870 J.R. Liu, On May 11, th Organic Division presented to the Corporate Management Committee a plan for maintaining a profitable business serving the needs of functional fluid users and the carbonless duplicating paper Industry, while minimizing the escape of non-biodegradabl chlorinated biphenyls into the environment. a . A copy of the six point plan which was favorably received by the CMC is attached. The only Aroclors which, at this time, are considered biodegradable are Aroolor 1221 and a fractionally distilled Aroclor 1242 which does not contain the higher chlorinated Isomers (5-6 chlorines and higher). We are referring to this distilled Aroolor as Aroclor 1242B. We are also considering a degradable Aroclor 1232. The expression "close the loop" refers to our program of educating the customer regarding the control and disposal of PGB's and providing a service for the return of contaminated Aroclors for recovery or eventual high temperature incineration and stack gas scrubbing. NCR has satisfactorily demonstrated HB-40 as an acceptable substitute for Aroclor 1242 in its European application and we are optimistic the mcno-lsopropyl biphenyl (MIBP) will be acceptable for the U.S. appli cation. ' . * _ We are not supplying Aroclors for heat transfer appli cations in which food contamination could occur.: . .> \ Will you develop an appropriate plan for Japan for the marketing of Aroclors commensurate, of course, with the competitive situation that exists. ms Attachment W.
