INTERNAL CORRESPONDENCE fXlXMG AND POSTALS DIVISION To (Heat) Dh&et LoesSa to. L. Crowe Onion Carbide Corporation P. 0. BOX K King City, California copr to Messrs. J. L. Myers H. B. Rhodes . J. A. Riddle P. 0. BOX 579. NIAGARA FALLS, NEY,' YORK 14202 eJ* Originating D.pL March 17, 1970 Aenrcrinj I*Htr doit Sob}ed The attached test results for R-G2M and A-28 are those which have accumulated over the past several months. In all cases, you have already been advised of those pallets which did not "pass" our tests, but to keep the record straight, we have included all materials not previously reported. -- As you know, we are concerned over the number of samples with high pH and/or low viscosity. We believe that pH values can and should be controlled at 9.0 max. A comparison of King City versus Niagara Falls polyester viscosity test results show a definite plus bias of about 5-6000 cps at King City (or negative bias at N.F.). We have.recently examined our actual test techniques and believe we have not changed since the visit of Bob Kennedy and I at King City. Perhaps someone at King City should do likewise. As we have said before, we believe we should err on the low side, if at all, in order to insure that no low viscosity material is shipped. Although we have no definite performance criteria to cite, we are also concerned about the recent increases in + 100 and 200 M particles in R-G2^4. We are sure that we will be in trouble eventual' if this trend continues. We should begin to think of establishing an upper limit for both. Just for kicks, we would suggest 0.055 +100 M and 3.0 - 3.55 + 200 M for openers. Perhaps you could determine how such limits would affect our present production levels. Since this upward trend is probably due to pushing our present bl'ower-sifter, I believe we should get an additional unit on order for either our present or expanded facilities. Best regards.
