MonsantoTRANSFORMER COOLANT BY MM
.
Pyroclor It Monsanto's brand name for its fin resistant transformer aakaral. Tha form "edtaraT, a> daflnad by ASTM, ganarally daacrlbaa a broad dan of fire resistant lymhnlc chlorinated hydrocarbon liquid! uiad ai alactrleal Iniulatlon madia in transformers.
Tranaformar askarels war* tint used in tha United States in 1932 and incorporate chlorlnatad biphenyl - one of tha beat liquid Insulation materials aver developed. This Inert material is chemically itabla, flra resistant, haat stable, non-corrosive and hat high dielectric strength under the operating condition! encountered In transformers.
In Europe, aakaral transformers form a large percentage of the distribution transformers Installed today. In France, one third of the distribution transformers brought into service each year are of thie type.
PYROCLOR 6
This la tha recommended fluid for all Pyrodor-filled transformers operating at normal ambient temperature conditions. Should special operating conditions be envisaged, please consult with Monsanto - It may be possible to provide a modified product

Advantages of Pyroclor
1. Pyroclor it vtry fir* resistant. It resists Ignition and tats Itavt diown it don not bum continuously n a mult of transformer arcing.
2. Pyroclor-fillsd trsniformtrs need no spaclal flra prscautiont as part of the transformer installation.
3. Pyroclor-fillsd transformers offer greater tiling flexibility, particularly vriiare tpaos it limited. They can be located indoors, dote to working areas or at the load centre.
4. Properly tailed Pyrodor-fllled transformers require little or no maintenance of the fluid over many years of service.
5. Its permittivity Is such that the distribution of electrical etnas in the transformer Is more uniform.

Storage, Handling and Disposal of Pyroclor
CAUTION: Pyroclor contains POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCS*) which soma studies h*vt shown may be persistant, an environmental con taminant, and, possibly, injurlout to oartaln form* of bird, aquatic and animal Ufa. Storage Inald* itorag* of drum* la raaommandad to avoid molaturo oorrtamInatlon. If drum have to bo atorad outaid* thay should bo atackad on thalr aid** with bung* upparmoat to pravant moiatura balng tucked in by breathing. Partially emptied drum diould not be left open to the air. The tupply of Pyroclor In bulk offan many advantage* to madlum and iarg* users. Unloading, storing and transferring to the production unit it safer, easier and cheaper. Material loasas due to spUtaga and Incomplete emptying of drums Is minimlssd. The possibility of product contamination during handling is greatly reduced. Evan what* storage and handling facilities are not atpreeantavailable, the aoonomict of bulk handling may quickly pay for the tanka and piping systems required. A booklet, indicating the type of eyatam necessary, Is available from Monsanto and experienced Monsanto paraonnal are availablt for she dlaouasion regarding the moat suitable bulk installation and off-loading procedure. It it aasantlal that both drum and bulk storage areas should b* organisad so that leakage* and splllagat can ba collactad for safe disposal.

Traneformer aakarel ha ban made, handled and uaad for over 40 year*. It can ba handlad aafaly If a faw aimpla precautions an obarvad.
1. Minlmiaa contact with tha akin by using glovaa and othar prolactiva clothing. Ramova accidantal akin contamination aa aoon a practleabla by thorough wahing with aoap and watar. Short tarm axpoaun it unllltaly to eaua harm axcapt to vary aantitiva akin, but long Harm expoaura should ba avoidad. Ramova saturated clothing and do not re-uaa until dry-claanad.
2. Protect aym with goggles. Accidental aya contact may result In painful irritation but no permanent damage to time. If Pyrodor gats In tha ayaa, Audi with large amounts of water. Aa with all eye-flrst-ald, refer to a qualified physician. To relieve irritation, ophthalmic anaesthetic solution, ophthalmic cortisone acetate aolution, or castor oil may ba uied under qualified wparvision.
3. Avoid breathing Pyroclor vapour, mitt or fumet. Infrequent axpoaura to Pyroclor vapour ii unlikely to cauao III effects, but prolonged axpoaura to high vapour concentratIona mutt ba avoidad. At normal ambient temperature. In wall venti lated areas, tha concentration of Pyroclor will be below that likely to cause harm. For handling hot Pyroclor In a confined space, a raaplrator with an active carbon canister drould ba worn.
4. Do not *at, drink, or smoke whan handling Pyroclor. Although Pyroclor is not particularly toxic whan ingested orally, this aimpla precaution will minlmiaa hazard.

Disposal of Pyroclor Watta Where possible the destruction of Pyroclor wests should be eccomplishsd through carefully controlled high temperature incineration. This requires a special incineration facility providing a suitable balance between temperature, dwail-tima, oxygen and auxiliary fuel and provision for removal of hydrochloric acid gas from tha gassaoua emissions. This facility must also make provision tar handling tha waste which may range from mobile fluid to solid, Impregnated with Pyroclor.* If such a facility doe* not exist, aibjact to tha provisions of local regulations, tha watte should be consigned to a waste disposal site designated for toxic materials. Do not uaa empty Pyroclor drums except for waste Pyroclor. Before disposal they should be thoroughly drained and than flushed twice with kerosene type solvent. The solvent should be incinerated and the washed dnimt consigned to a waste disposal site. Alternatively incinerate unwashed drums in a suitable incinerator. During handling and disposal of waste Pyroclor taka great care to avoid pollution, particularly of drains and waterways.
"Please ask Monsanto for updo-data Information on faculties available for incineration of Pyrodor.

Toxicity
I. Inhalation At ordinary temperatures tha chlorinatad biphanyli In askarai have not praaantad Industrial toxicological problamt. Tha haurd of potential toxic axpoiurt varlaa with thair volatility; tha lowar chlorinatad, mora volatlla onat praiant mora of a potential problem from tha standpoint of both inhalation and akin contact. Whan askerel fluids are uaad at elevated temperatures, engineering controls must be applied, either by tha use of cloaad systems or by affectiva local exhaust ventilation together with general work room exhaust.
Vapours of askaral at room temperature should not be breathed in a confined specs and no vapour of any fluid evolved at elevated temperatures should be allowed to be dispersed into the general workroom.
Inhalation testa on animals indicate that the maximum safe con centration of vapour 1s in the range from 0.5 to 1.0 milligramme per cubic metre of eir. The threshold limit value (meximum allowable concentration of an 8-hour working day) act by the American Conference of Governmental Hygleniets is 1.0 milli gramme of the lower-chlorinated biphenyl compounds per cubic metre of air and 0.5 milligramme of the more-hlghly-ehlorlnetsd compounds, per cubic metre of air.
II. Skin Contact
Prolonged or repeeted skin contact with the askerel fluids mutt be avoided by the use of gloves end protective garments, because of the possible occurrence of a condition called chloracne. Although reports of this condition caused by askerel are rare. It can be produced by excessive skin contact. If the fluid 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 askerel should be treated like any ordinary burn.
