Dear Mr. Tessleri
Askarsl is a generic descriptive name for a synthetic electrical insulating material manufactured by Westinghouse Company and contains chlorinated aromatic derivatives, particularly pontachlorodipnenyl and trichlorobensene solvent. This suiterial is a liquid at ambient temperatures and upon heating would vaporise to a organic vapor. Due to the vapor pressure and lower boiling point, trichloro benzene would be the predominant vapor released into the environment at higher temperatures.
If additional information is desired, please contact me at telephone (314) 694-2187.
Sincerely,
BWEtalv
