GENERAL SUMMARY:
Celcori quality waivers for January totalled 29.9% of the months production. Natural finishing waivers were due to product melt index out of specification. Speical products waivers were due to melt index and stabilizer content variances.
The low acid (4-4.5 wt.%) trial in the TO-2 unit was completed during the month. Trial evaluations with normal (5.5-6.0 wt.%) and high (6.5-7.0 wt.%) acid levels are still to be completed. Further work has been temporarily postponed due to production cutbacks in the uni.t.
Celane quality waivers were required for 10.5% of the total produc tion. The major quality problem experienced was failure of some lots of vo Celanex to pass the flammability testing.
Nylon quality waivers totalled 24.1% of the months production. The
major quality variance was out of specification RV with volatiles and_
ash content accounting for the second major sources of off specification
product.

t' t A four-member nylon task force was established on January 16, with K. A. Rose and L. I. Chriswell representing Manufacturing, to investigate the causes of brittle breaks in nylon. A plant trial will be conducted utilizing fine mesh screens in the nylon filtering process. Samples produced will be molded and analyze.d by Dr. John Gall in Summit to look for a correlation between particles in the nylon and low elongation values. Samples of the trial materials will also be evaluated at Bishop.
The major delay in relocating the Color Laboratory to the new lab building is installation of the thermolator cooling system. Delivery of the required chiller unit is expected in early March. A number of other items in both the first and second floors of th.e lab building remain incomplete.
I. CELCOtffi:
A. Customer Complaints - Dotson/Tijerina
1. Dayco Corporation of TFE Industries entered a complaint (P-5373) requesting credit for a weight shortage of 187 lbs. on a shipment of 20,000 lbs. of M90-01 flake. A minor variance in the bagging weight scales which probably caused the problem has been corrected. (DLDt22-79)
2. Kingston Plastics entered a complaint (P-5375) citing mold deposit from a lot of M90-04 black, lot 8072602, as causing out of specification parts. The lot in question met all quality parameters upon release and since no complaint sample was received, no further plant evaluation could be conducted. (DLD-23-79)

A complaint (P-5424) was entered by Coats and Clark that 100 lbs. of a 2500 lb. shipment of C-244 natural, lot 8102106, had small amounts of discoloration. The material in question met all quality specifications prior to release. Examination of a small return sample showed it to contain pellets which in appearance were surface contaminated with oil or grease. Based on this evaluation the complaint was not considered to be material related. (DLD-24-79)
4. Beebee Machine entered a complaint (P-5410) of severe mold deposit with M270-04 natural from lot 8091303. Plant records indicated this material to meet all quality parameters on release. RTS has been sent samples of this lot and requested to evaluate this product by the accelerated mold deposit test. (DLD-25-79)
5. Sashabaw Products entered a precautionary complaint CP-5413) stating that a hopper car of C-244 natural, lot 8112802, was received without the polyethylene (PE) rain caps over the compartment hatches. Small amounts of contamination were found in the compartments of the hopper car. Although this was a pressurized car with gasket sealed hatch covers, all future shipments t<||| this customer will also include polyethylene rain caps on the hatches. (DLD-26-79)
Teleflex Inc. entered a complaint CP-5422) stating that a shipment of M90-04. natural, lot 81Q1703, was received with four damaged bags, three others retaped, and an undisclosed number of pallets- were broken in half. The complaint was directed to the attention of the receiving warehouse to determine if the damage occurred after leaving Bishop or enroute to the customer. (DLD-30-79)
B. Manufacturing Support
1. TO-2 Reactor System Trials - Moede
Trials were started in mid-January to determine the effects of reactor catalyst concentration along with reactor column reflux ratio on reactor system performance. A trail at low acid concentration, 4.0-4.5% Cwt.), has been completed. Normal acid concentration, 5.5-6.0%, is currently being evaluated and plans have been made to evaluate 6.5-7.0Z acid. The information gained from these trials will be used to optimize reactor system performance in terms of trioxane production, by-product ~ formation and steam requirements.

2. Methane Sulfonic Acid Trial - Moede
Plans were completed for evaluating methane sulfonic acid as a catalyst in the TO-2 reactor in a trial scheduled for March. MSA is expected to decrease by-products at trioxane conversions equal to those -with sulfuric acid at the same concentration by weight.
3. TO-2 Unit Lab Improvement - Moede
Training sessions were heid in the TO-2 unit lab for all TO-2 Operations personnel. Senior technicians from the Spec Lab provided instruction to implement a new procedure for determining formaldehyde concentra tions .
4. MH-2 Trial: Reduced Nitrogen Flow and Color Quantity Guthland
A trail was conducted from 12/15 to 12/22/78 to determine the effect of reducing cryogenic nitrogen flow to the MH-2 flake tank, V-1615, on color quality. Reducing; the nitrogen flow by 50 percent (from 40% to 20% odr", rotometer reading) showed no effect on color qualify.
5. SH-2 Unit Lab Support - Guthland
Poor correlation between VICAT and % ETOX in TOX feed in SH-2 was investigated'this month. The problem was isolated to poor accuracy and reading errors associated with the titrating buret used for the % ETOX analysis. The titrating buret has been replaced with a more accurate buret and Unit personnel instructed in its use. The ETOX titration procedure.and unit results will be monitored.
6. SH-1 Data Base - Guthland
Progress in establishing a data base in SH-1 prior to unit modifications continued through January. All analytical work has been completed at CCTC and Bishop. The remaining- gel permeation chromatography and ETOX content and distribution analyses are in progress at Summit. A report detailing the analytical data completed to date will be published in February.
7 r SH-1 Modified: Sampling and Test Method Requirements Guthland
A report has been issued outlining the sampling and test method requirements for SH-1 following the Ticona modification. Sample point location, existing test method applicability and test method development needs are addressed in DEG-4-79.

1* SEP Celanex - UL Burn Test Failures - Remlinge.r
An investigation of UL burn test failures of SEO Celanex grades continues. Analyses of samples sent to CCCTC have been delayed due to instrumental breakdown. A - method for % antimony by atomic absorption has been developed by the Spec Lab. Initial results on lots which have failed the burn test show low levels of this fire retardant as the probable cause of failure.-

2. Celanex Moisture Uptake - Bag Comparison Studies Remlinger
The study of the effects of bag construction on the moisture uptake of Celanex 3300-2 black has continued. With foil laminate bags, moisture uptake of 3300-2 .black was 0.11% (0.05%-initially) after twelve weeks. With standard Celcon bags (PE laminate) moisture content rose from 0.05% to 0.20%. Over this time period a 15% (PE laminate bag sample) and a 9% (foil lined bag sample) reduction in tensile strengths for undried samples were recorded. However, when these samples were dried, a 100% recovery of tensile strength was achieved. Similar results were found for the other physical properties measured, i.e., izod, elongation, flexurals. These results support previous work.
Evaluation of a n-ew bag type (Saranex) from Bancroft Bag, Inc. has been instituted using Celanex 3300 natural as the monitored material. This LDPE/Saran/LDPE laminate bag could offer a monetary savings over our standard, Celanex bag and alleviate problems Incurred in -.pui|ghasing foil lined bags, e.g., long lead times. In the.ndpr future, these bags will also be evaluated for potential use with o.ur Nylon products.
Ill. NYLON
A. Customer Complaints - Dotson/Tijerina
1. (Security Plastics entered a complaint (P-5406) stating Jthat parts made with Nylon 1000-2 black, lot 8050971, ^ turned out a translucent purple blue in color. Color services indicated that all black unfilled nylon resins will appear a dark blue under an intense light source. High molding temperatures were also indicated as a cause for a blue color shift in this type of Nylon. RTS was requested to investigate the customer's molding process for excessive temperatures.
2. A precautionary complaint (P-5425) was entered by All States Plastic Co. stating that a 40m lb. shipment of N-243 natural was not loaded on the trailer with the wide end of the pallet facing the rear of the truck. The o.rder was loaded opposite this due to the physical size restrictions of the pallets and the truck body. Loading
-- as specified would have required two trucks to carry the shipment.

* 3. A precautionary complaint (P-5414) was received from
the Delco Remy Division of 6.M.C. concerning the
difference in transparency of the pellets and molded parts between lots 7161203 and 7171202 of Nylon 1300-1. Analysis of the two Deer Park production lots revealed lot 7161203 to contain less nucleant than lot 7171202 which accounted for the difference in transparency. The concentration of nucleant in both lots, however, was within specifications and sufficient to provide nucleation of the material. Since the customer did not cite any problems with the molding or physical properties of the polymer no further plant reply was indicated.

1. Nylon Screen Changer Trials - Allen
A trial run has been initiated to determine if smaller mesh screens will offer improved filtration, thereby reducing the frequency of "brit.tle breaks" in nyloiy/ The standard 105 mesh screen will be replaced with fcj|00
and 325 mesh screens, and samples of the produced gadlets and strands will be sent to Summit for testing. Initial samples of nylon 1003 collected off the 105 mesh screen have been collected and sent to Summit. Normal Q.C. analyses were also run at Bishop.
2. Nylon Nucleant Production - Salinas, Allen
The inventory status of nylon nucleant is summarized below:

3. Nylon Moisture Uptake Study - Bag Comparison - Remlinger
The comparison of the moisture uptake of Nylon 1003-1 natural in two bag types continues. After twelve weeks the nylon packaged in the standard foil lined bag has shown no significant increase in the moisture level, while the nylon packaged in the PE laminate (Celcon) _ bag has risen from 0.28% Vol. to 0.69% Vol.
No further work is planned on this phase of the nylon bag comparison study. The evaluation of the three Japanese type bags (Dec. monthly report) is still in progress with N-184 as the test material.

Currently 30 color matches are backlogged. This backlog is for reformulation of existing formulas. Reformulation is necessary due to pigment obsolescence or chip replenishment. There are no new marketing requests on backlog.
The program to identify and approve a new UV-Stabilizer package for automotive colors should be completed by mid-February
Color Service workload remains very high, turnaround time per color match is currently running about 16 days.
A summary of color matching performance for 1978 is listed in Table II.,
VII. STATUS OF LAB BUILDING CONSTRUCTION - Rose
The major hold up of the lab construction at present is the
installation o.f thermolator cooling system for the color lab.
A chiller unit has been ordered with delivery expected by
early March. Some existing piping changes will have to be -
made to isolate the system from the existing cooling waterfe
system.
--
The bill of materials has been submitted for completion of^'the 2-story hood. The only items with expected long delivery times are two temperature recorders that had to be reordered (PER if9642, 7/5/78). Construction will begin as soon as engineering priorities will allow.
Installation of a lab bench for the AA and for a sink unit in the 2h" extruder room was begun but never completed. This job belongs to LinDan Specialties of Houston. Delivery of the larger size exhaust blowers for the hoods is expected in early March, also to be installed by LinDan Specialties.
The following is a list of items not yet completed in the new lab, items pertaining to the Color Lab and items already men tioned above are not included.
1. Fire water station at N. entrance still leaks. 2. 1st floor wall lockers need trim. 3. Quarry tile floor in solution prep room, 2nd floor, has
not been repaired. Epoxy grout needs filling in. 4. Two o-f the three leaking gas hose cochs have been received,
