MM (SOM) TENNECOINTER-OFFICE MEMO CHEMICALS C To H. B. Carr \ from Horton AT Burlington AT Burlington subject Monthly Progress Report August, 1972 date August 24, 1972 copy ro p. w. Kanzler File 1/ Production was notified on 8/24/72 of the apparent trends on the following resin types: Resin Type Trends 250-2 Dry blend drifting to the low'side of the specification. ER501 Brookfield and Severs viscosities coming up slightly but are still low. 314 +60 Particle size on the high side of the specification range. 315 +80 Particle size on the high side of the specification range. 1738 - "A" Plant AR901 100 PSI Severs running high. Relative viscosity to the low side of the target range. During this period, four (4) competative blending resin samples were analyzed for Marketing. Relative viscosity, volatiles, contamination and methanol extrac tions were run on five (5) dispersion resin samples from Japan, which were submitted by the Dispersion Resins Applications Group. This material is being evaluated for possible purchase by Tenneco Also during this period a sample of Tenneco 1730 was evaluated at the request of a customer who had the resin stored in his warehouse for approximately five .years. Results of this analysis were similar to the original analysis except for the Severs viscosity which had increased. It was also noted that the Haze and Gloss values were considerably better than our current 1730 production. HRH/sys H. R. Horton COLORITE 014415
