We have recently been in communication with you concerning Monsanto*b policy to restrict the sale and delivery of poly chlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) products including those sold under tradenames such as AroclorvE), Inerteen OP, Pyranol , and under the generic term askarel.
As you are aware, effective January 15, 1972 Monsanto discon tinued sales and delivery of these products to manufacturers of transformers and capacitors, except those who have entered into special agreements to indemnify Monsanto with respect to these products. You have entered into such an agreement.
In the past Monsanto supplied these PCB-containing askarel products to transformer repair shops, and to companies need ing these products for top-up of existing transformers. These sales have now been discontinued. Future inquiries from these companies owning or desiring to repair a transformer of your manufacture will be referred to you as the source for additional askarel fluids.
In the event you desire to supply top-up product to your custom ers or to repair shops, Monsanto intends to make these products available to your company or to your designee upon receipt of your order. In either case, the sales will be to you and we will invoice you. If you choose to ship directly from your own stocks to your customers, we will be happy to make available to you all information we have on proper packaging of these products.
