You may have heard the allegations that certain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) had been found in the environment and were contami nants. Since that time other reports concerning PCBs have been published. An examination of the PCB matter has Indicated that their use in synthetic resin compositions may be a source of the alleged environmental contamination. Hoosier has sold PCB-containihg materials under the trade name of Aroclor. These Aroclors included: Aroclor 1232 Aroclor 1242 Aroclor 1248 Aroclor 1254 Aroclor 1260 Aroclor 1262 Aroclor 1268 Aroclor 4465 Aroclor 1100 Series Montar 1 Toluene or xylene blends of the above products also contained PCB. In review of the allegations which have been made concerning PCBs, , and being a concerned and responsible member of the world community, we have come to a decision to discontinue the sale of PCB-containing products for modifier and plasticizer applications effective August 30, 1970.
