'Calidria'' Asbestos j v . .-- Anaoofing iotrof doti Stifajod RG-600 Safety Data D. J. G. L Vc::2is ` t. K. West File i Attached is a completed Product Safety Bulletin for DMBP (CRLA-1203). It includes potential hazards and health precautions to be taken when handling this liquid reactive resin. You will note that in the unreacted, liquid state, the principle hazards are labile phenols and formaldehyde present in the mix. These are known to cause skin or eye irritation with possible sensitization occurring after repeated contact. Our use of this material for RG-600 includes advancing or curing CRLA-1203 to an inert solid by heating. Dr. Watson Ackart at Bound Brook reminds me that, at this point, the cured resin is similar to that in pot handles, etc., and is nontoxic. They do not appear to fall under the juris diction of the Toxic Substances Act. We plan to move smartly toward publishing a Material Safety Data sheet for RG-600. It seems to me that this will be a combination of the MSDS for "Calidria" modified by some of the same information for a phenolic molding material. The RG-600 MSDS should be ready for approvals shortly after the first of the year. REBicjb Attachment f y f \ ...

Our chemicals and plastics are manufactured under controlled conditions designed to minimize metal contamination. Thus, we are confident that they would not contain harmful amounts of these materials. This belief is supported by a tabula* tion of analyses of random samples of several products (see below). In the tabulated data below, [<] indicates a concentration lower than the minimum which the method used will determine. 3 The methods used in obtaining the analytical data are: 1. Mercury was determined using "flameless" atomic absorption using a background compensator where necessary (most esters). 2. Zinc and cadmium were determined by atomic absorption. 3. Arsenic was determined using the Codex colorimetric procedure -- (silver diethyldithiocarbamate X 4. All other elements were determined by emission spectroscopy.
