PC Organic Cheplicals Division 800 N. Lljrabergh Blvd. St. LoujiB, Missouri Gentlemen: I have just received a second letter fropr'your company. This letter, which Is dated June 1, Is from Mr. W. E. Schalk, Director of Sales, Plasticizers. He were very much surprised to hear that you plan to cease all manufacture of the Aroclor Plasticizers. We have, over a long period of time, examined not only your Plasticizer line, but competitive lines in the hope of finding an alternate material with some of the properties listed below: 1. Low order of toxicity. 2. Equivalent plasticizing effect in polysulfides. 3. Very low volatility when exposed to heat in a polysulfide compound. 4. Reasonable cost. The answer has eluded us and with the ultimatum offered in your letter of June 1, I feel it behooves your committee to offer some sound suggestions, backed up by technical data reports in the area of poly sulfide sealants. 0453^ Dayton, Ohio Alexandria, Va.

Your prompt reply would be appreciated. Sincerely, DAP Inc. ZJ0:ar Research Division 0*53876 LEXOLDMON006713
