Fnm : Springfield, Nassachusett datk s August 29, 1963 sunjccr : CONTAMINATED VCM -=<= R.A. Coffey C.L. Knowles-St.Louis T.E. Shlrley-Texas City F. L. Turner J.Young-Texas City ,UMr. W. Kongable /"'Texas City Monomer car SHPX 39.66_was shipped from Texas City on 7/13 and pumped at Springfield on 7/22. The material appeared discolored and was contaminated with black metallic dust. The VCM was used but gave considerable trouble with filter plugging and increased the resin contamination level to borderline acceptability. It is doubtful, considering the prime Importance of VCM quality to the Springfield operations, whether we can, in the future, risk the use of such material. It is hoped that a satisfactory means of rectifying this difficulty is readily available to prevent recurrence. /hba CBY 1111327 RSV0031931
