DSW 201764 STLCOPCB4059831 introduction POLYVIS is the registered trade name of Cosden poly butene. It is a synthetic monoolefir. polymer produced in various grades by a low temperature catalytic process from raw material containing polymerizatle olefins, particularly isobutylene. The resulting polymers are oily liquids whose viscosity and tackiness increase with an increase in molecular weight. At extremely high molecular weights, POLYVIS is a semi-plastic solid. Polybutene produced by Cosden is hydrogenated to remove the impurities found in ordinary pciybutene. This assures a water white, odor free, exceptionally stable material and is much less susceptible to normal oxidation. Even during prolonged storage, tackiness, color and viscosity are main tained. POLYVIS does not harden, set, or dry, and will not become waxy or gummy. POLYVIS is soluble in petroleum and coal tar naphthas-- both aliphatic and aromatic, chlorinated hydrocarbons, lubri cating oils, diethyl ether, and n-butyl acetate. Solubility is poor in low molecular weight alcohols, in aliphatic ketones, as well as in highly polar solvents.

Special formulations permit c.ose control of "quick grab", "legs", removal characteristics, initial tack, and vis cosity. The high viscosity and high range compatibility of POLYVIS permits its addition in relatively large percentages to rubber or resin based adhesives without imparting exces sive mushiness or loss of cohesive strength. POLYVIS is also compatible with polyethlene resin, resin esters, polyterpene hydrocarbon resins, modified resins, poly olefin resins, and many phenolic resins. Widest use has been made in formulation of pressure sensi tive adhesives, industrial and surgical tape, label adhesives and hot melt adhesives. calking and sealing compounds Combined with drying or semi-drying oils and fillers, poly butenes permit production of high quality, non-drying calk ing compounds. POLYVIS contribute; to permanent pliabil ity through its non-drying characteristics, to good adhesion and cohesion through its high tack, and to ease of appli cation over a wide temperature range through its high vis ' cosity index. The light color of the polymer, combined with good color stability, permits production of products which, will retain their color after prolongec exposure. Polybutenes can be used in various insulating compounds. Typical applications include those in the automotive indus try as a chassis "under seal'' to prevent rust and corrosion of metal chassis parts and as a "noise eliminator" between metal joints of body and chassis. In refrigerators these sealants are used in seams and in sealing insulation, and require an extremely low odor level over a long period of time. POLYVIS has passed this critical test in many formulations. Compounded with low-cost mineral fillers, any desired de gree of plasticizing can be obtained. Hence the product can be sprayed or wiped on in assembly line production. Insu lating compounds for various types of home appliances can be formulated with POLYVIS. It is compatible with low cost fillers, and can be extruded in strip or rod form for ease in appliance assembly. The polybutene formulations have excellent pigment carrying ability and their non-drying characteristics permit permanently pliable products. lube oils and greases POLYVIS is used as an additive for lubricat ing oils to improve the viscosity index. POLY VIS is particularly suited for industrial greases and gear lubricants and is used as the vehicle for applying graphite lubricant to conveyor chains and roller bearings on rotary kilns and ovens. Although heat will depolymerize POLYVIS to volatile com pounds, no scarring or stain remains as is characteristic of other lubricants. In the drawing or rolling of aluminum, POLY VIS can be used as the lubricant. No cleaning is required before sending the formed alum inum to subsequent annealing or heat treat page 4 ing operations. POLY /IS can be used as a sub'ur-free lubricant lor tube drawing and wire drawing. POLYVIS can be used as a compressor lubri cant for the manufacture of POLYETHY LENE and is approved by FDA (121.2511) for this use. There is a growing interest in the use of POLYVIS in hydraulic fluids and as viscosity index improvers in automatic transmission fluids. POLYVIS has more recently found prominent use as a starting material to produce deter gents for lube oils and greases. DSW 201768 STLCOPCB4059835 protective coatings POLYVIS can be utilized in the manufacture of roof coatings and asphalt paints. POLYVIS imparts several important characteristics to the coating: consistency over a wide temp erature range is stabilized; the dry coating is far less suscept ible to cracking and checking with temperature changes; the tendency to sag or run at high ambient conditions is mini mized. Together with these features, POLYVIS shows much greater compatibility with asphalts than do conventional petroleum base oils. In other paint formulations, POLYVIS appears to improve the following desirable characteristics: ease of brushing, improved color re .ention, and improved water, alkali and scrub resistance. PCLYVIS has been used in heavily pigmented finishes such as flat wall paints, semi gloss finishes and high gloss enamel. POLYVIS in conjunc tion with metallic soaps, waxes, resir s and other materials has been formulated into waterproofing coatings for materials such as mortar, cinder block, and cement. The chief advant ages of POLYVIS are its excellent hydrophobic properties, and the fact that POLYVIS coatings can be modified with suitable coloring. . rubber POLYVIS has been used in conjunction with resins and resin emulsions for use as an extender and modifier of commercial latex. Such mixtures with rubber dispersions deposit films with good aging properties and in many cases improved tackiness. POLYVIS shows excellent compatibility with mill ed rubber formulations and can be used with either crude, reclaimed, or synthetic rubber. It serves as a rubber extender, imparting improved tack and permitting better kneading on the mill during processing. In general, it has proved to be an excellent non-drying rubber plasticizer. electrical The use of POLYVIS in capacitor manufac ture contributes to both high and low temp erature stability as well as resistance to oxi dation combined with excellent electrical properties. POLYVIS has been used to re place mineral oil, vegetable oil and other similar impregnants in capacitors designed for v, idely varying conditions. Long term, trouble- free operation of POLYVIS impregnated capacitors is characteristic. POLYVIS has been utilized in the manufac ture of certain other electrical components. The high dielectric strength and excellent ag ing resistance, low power factor and low co efficient of expansion make it adaptable in the impregnation of paper insulation for elec trical uses. ` A special electrical grade of Polyvis has been used as a pipe oil in a 345 KV transmission installation. Polyvis was chosen over con ventional petroleum base oils because of superior electrical properties and oxidation stability. Special grades are particularly suitable as transformer fillers and as liquid dielectrics in liquid condensers. Compounded with syn thetic rubber and rubber-like polymers, flex ible insulating coatings can be formulated. plasticizers POLYVIS has proven itself as a plasticizer for polyethylene, polystyrene, and other res ins. POLYVIS providts better low tempera ture, flexibility, good color, and improved water resistance. Cosden's unique hydrogen ation of POLYVIS assures no odor or dis coloration. POLYVIS is particularly compat ible with the polyethylene polymers and has proven to be a definite aid in this field. POLYVIS is an effective dispersant for color ants for polyethylene end polystyrene. In general, POLYVIS is compatible with most natural gums, resins, pitches, and waxes. Lim ited compatibility is shown with alkyds, modified alkyds, asphalts, chlorinated pro ducts, phenolics, and epoxies. DSW 201770 page 6 STLCOPCB4059837 waterproofing POLYVIS may be combined with metallic soaps, waxes, or resins to form waterproofing coatings for porous materials such as canvas, concrete, cinder block, and mortar. It is particularly suitable for coating masonry. An application of this type is very simple and produces a long lasting coating for the product. inks POLYVIS is well adapted for formulation of inks used in the cartridges of ball point pens. Due to its high stability and compatibility this application is growing. POLYVIS is particularly suitable as a pigment dispersing agent having the correct drying characteristics for this field. agriculture The use of POLYVIS in insecticides is highly desirable because of its resistance to rain and water washoff. Formu lations of polybutene will coat the foilage of plants and provide a very effective, long lasting insecticide. Polybutene emulsions have been reported effective for control of pow dery mildew with no evidence of phytotoxicity. POLYVIS has been utilized as a "fly paper" in tree-banding because of its extreme tackiness, lack of color, non-phyto toxic effect, and high resistance to viscosity change in vary ing temperatures. leather POLYVIS, when impregnated in unfinished vegetable tanned leather, vastly improves water resistance, wear resistance, pliability, and soil resistance. The major application is in sole leather, but other possible uses are baseball mitts, foot balls, and basketballs. The polybutere may be applied from a hot melt or solvent system. A solvent system formula de veloped by the National Bureau of Standards for sole leather includes two parts polybutene, three parts resin, and five parts of a solvent such as mineral spirits. blends Various wax blends have been prepared using different per centages of POLYVIS which offers a new line of uses for this product. Certain asphalt blends have been prepared from various grades of POLYVIS with very interesting re sults. These blends are particularly suitable for special seal ing applications under various temperature conditions.

This high-performance cable oil -- fully approved by major pipe cable manufacturers and exceeding ASTM specifications -- is pre-dried, degassed and delivered on-site whenever and wherever you need it. Golden Bear Cable Oil is a highly refined oil specifically developed for use with modern pipe cable systems. Vacuum-dried and degassed at Witco Chemical's Bakersfield, California refinery, your oil is delivered right to the jobsite when you need it. Specially outfitted and cleaned stainless steel tankcars and trucks, using inert ni rogen blanketing and unloading of the oil, provide optimum protection against atmospheric contamination and maintain the lowest power factor of any cable oil available. You get exactly what you need -- clean, dehydrated, degassed cable oil ready for pumping into the system for maximum insulation and service life. W: wn'Ku rrj > Li. * . . . COSTLY *: r- _ CP" - npnr High-pressure pipe-type cable systems represent large initial investments that must pay off in years of trouble-free service. There's just no room for cutting corners, especially when it comes to selecting the cable insulating oil to protect that investment. Witco Chemical's Golden Bear Division staff spent more than four years studying cable oils before int-oducing high-performance Golden Bear Cable Oil. Every aspect was carefully weighed -- finding the right crude oil, then processing and refining it with quality control procedures along every step of the way to insure the safest, purest cable oil in the industry. Samples tested from each shipment confirm the superior per formance characteristics of the oil.

Here, oil is loaded into a stainless steel tank truck that has been nitrogen-purged to protect quality of the shipment. Positive nitrogen pressure in the tank precludes chances of atmospheric contamination of the oil during transit and unloading. 0; el ..#o _ C*! r,'' turr;sj The lower the content of moisture and impurities in an oil, the greater are its insulation properties. We vacuum-dry and degas every batch before it leaves the refinery. Shipment of the oil under a protective blanket of inert nitrogen gas, along with unloading via nitrogen over pressure in the tankcar or truck, keeps in the high insulating values. There is no need to incur expensive, time-consuming on-site processing of the oil, so.the job is completed in the shortest possible time. The examples speak for themselves. In a recent shipment of 44,000 gallons of Golden Bear Cable Oil to the Los Argeles Department of Water and Power, samples taken as the oil was unloaded revealed a water content of only 16 parts per million. (ASTM standards for acceptible water content are 45 ppm.) In another shipment to the Park Boulevard Switching Station, serving Stanford Industrial Park in Palo Alto, California, moisture content of the delivered oil registered a low 14 ppm. Specifications for both orders called for a moisture content of 20 ppm.

'- Careful refining, backed by stringent quality control checks of every operation, make Golden Bear Cable OH your best insulating buy. Power factor values, determined with the Tettex Bridge (fig. 4),. average an exceptionally low 1.0 x 1CfA. Similarly, dielectric strengths (fig. 5) consistently run greater than 35 kv. 3P STLCOPCB4059846 Power factor is, very simply, the measure of an insulating medium's .bility to insulate. In cable oils it is dependent upon a number of variables -- moisture, gas content, impurities and the like -- yet because of the interaction of each of these on the final power factor value, it becomes a good indicator of an oil's overall purity. The stringent quality control measures, both at the refinery and before entry into the pipe cable system, have produced an oil with average power factor values of 1.0 x 10"4, far below standard ASTM require ments. Actual customer tests of Golden Bear Cable Oil, however, have revealed power factor readings of a low 0.3 x lO*4. The key to this performance is in the processing and delivery of the oil. Golden Bear Cable Oil starts out pure, is d'y and degassed, then delivered in chemi cally pure containers. It is unloaded without chance for contamination, and does not lose its important characteristics. ' Golden Bear Cable Oil supplements its unusually low power factor with high dielectric strength for full efficiency under high-voltage, highpressure applications. Typical dielectric strengths fall well above 35 kv. . Golden Bear Cable OH offers unusually long service life to pipe-type cable systems. Using the Merrel Test for stability of insulating oils under electrical stress, the oil consistently demonstrates its extreme stability when subjected to the 10,000-volt current between a high-voltage electrode and a grounded electrode used in the 1000-minute test. Gas content in the evacuated flasks is calculated upon completion of the test to determine the amount of oil break-down under the high-voltage current DSW 201780 STLCOPCB4059847 specjfi:;at!CNS ron GOLDEN DEAR CAliLE OIL SB 750 / r v- ; 'T'C'-!
