Properties as Plasticizers
The Aroclor resins/plasticizers and their blends have a very unusual set of properties which make them extremely useful products. Their most important characteristics are:
'
Low Cost Highly Compatible
Chemically Stable Fire Retardant Excellent Adhesion
Another very useful aspect of this product line is the fact that a continuous range of properties can be achieved by using combinations of the Aroclors and their blends. Some of the physical properties which can be controlled through product selection-are shown on the following pages.

Key to Nomenolal-ure 5400 Series These products are chlorinated terphenyls. The last two digits indicate the chlorine content of the material, e.g., Aroclor 5460 is a chlorinated terphenyl with 60 percent chlorine. Undlstilled Aroclors are available and are designated by a 5000 series vs. the 5400 series. They are somewhat higher in color but otherwise have product characteristics similar to the distilled products. 6000 Series These products are blends of Aroclor 5460 and Aroclor 1221, a biodegradable mono chlorinated biphenyl. The last two digits indicate the percentage of Aroclor 5460 in the blend, e.g., Aroclor 6062 is'a .blend containing 62 percent Aroclor 5460 and 38 percent mono chlorinated biphenyl.' Miscellaneous Blends Other product blends containing such other materials as Santicizer 140 for improved fire retardancy, or toluene/ xylene for lower viscosities will also be made available as the demand for these specialty products develops.

Toxiolty and Safe Handling Inhalation At ordinary temperatures, the Aroclor chlorinated poly phenyls have not presented industrial toxicological pro blems. The hazard of potential toxic exposure varies with their volatility: the lower-chlorinated, more volatile ones present more of a potential problem from the standpoint of both inhalation and skin contact. When Aroclor plasticizers are used at elevated tempera tures, engineering controls must be applied, either by the use of closed systems or by effective local-exhaust ventilation together with general workroom exhaust.
Vapor of the liquid Aroclor plasticizers at room tempera ture should not be breathed in a confined space, and no vapor of any Aroclor evolved at elevated temperatures should be allowed to be dispersed into the general work room.
Skin Contact Continuous or repeated skin contact with the Aroclor plasticizers must be avoided by the use of gloves and protective garments, because of the possible occurrence of a condition called chlqracne. Although reports of this condition caused by Aroclor are rare, it can be produced by excessive skin contact. If any Aroclor is spilled on the skin, the skin should be washed in the usual manner with a soap solution. A burn caused by contact with a hot Aroclor should be treated like any ordinary burn. Aroclor plasticizer adhering to the burned area need not be removed immed iately, unless treatment of the burn demands it, in which case either soap and water or repeated washings with a vegetable oil are recommended.
