Tomlin* Hongkong Dear Ken, You may ramambar that in Jun* 1973 va supplied iron MMX a email quantity (2.5 metric tone) of Santothena PR-2 to Plylna Dragon Co., Ltd. Thla trading company was Importing the material for use aa a flame raalatant heat tranafar fluid in a Taiwan Aluminium pilot plant. Subsequently, last year Taiwan Aluminium tendered for 100 ton* of the product (or Xaneclor equivalent). w* advised them that we war* not in a position to supply because of our polioy on RGB's. We have now received a copy of a Chinese letter from TAC to Flying Dragon requesting theRTTh repurchase the material, because of the pollution problem and so save wasting publlo goods (TAC la a government company and for goods you can read money). They refer to an earlier communication in Dept. 1972 and ask for prompt action. The Information we received regarding PCB containing heat transfer fluids and the change over to a non PCD produot clearly states that while w* are prepared to Offer advice W* are accepting no responsibility for the change over. However as Taiwan Aluminium are a government company Z thought X should keep you informed. Rsi'al Regards, HONS R. 8. Hill '(' v#,e* 029487
