And do 2 1 you recall all the preliminary instructions that 22 I gave you on July 30? 23 A. I do. 24 Q. And do we agree those will apply today as well? 25 A. Certainly.

1 Q. Mr. Papageorge, do you remember on July 30, when 2 I had shown you some copies of labels that 3 Monsanto used for Aroclor products? 4 A. I do. 5 Q. Do you know if Monsanto has any originals of any 6 of those labels? 7 A. I personally don't know at this point in time. 8 MR. WARNING: Off the record a 9 moment. 10 (Discussion off the record) 11 MR. WARNING: Back on the record. 12 Q. Mr. Papageorge, during your employment at 13 Monsanto, were you ever aware of any heat 14 transfer systems which used Aroclors leaking? 15 MR. KLINE: Objection, are you asking 16 him at the Monsanto facilities or nationwide? 17 MR. WARNING: Good point. 18 Q. Any system outside of Monsanto? 19 A. The period of time is throughout my employment 2 0 with Monsanto? 21 Q. Correct. 22 A. Yes. 2 3 Q. Could you explain your knowledge of any leaks 24 from heat transfer systems that used Aroclors? 25 A. I don't know what you mean by knowledge. You

1 mean my awareness of a leak or what caused it 2 and where in the system it happened? It can get 3 pretty complex. 4 Q. Okay. How did you become aware that some heat 5 transfer systems using Aroclors would leak? 6 A. By personal observation, my involvement with the 7 maintenance of such systems, and my being 8 informed from customers that were using the 9 fluids that Monsanto supplied. That about 10 covers it. 11 Q. Do you know where within those systems leaks 12 would occur? 13 MR. KLINE: I'm going to object as 14 overbroad, but you can answer. 15 A. It could happen virtually anywhere in the 16 system. Some parts of the systems are more 17 vulnerable to the presence of leakage, but it 18 could happen anywhere. 19 Q. Which systems were more vulnerable to leaking? 20 A. When you say systems, are you describing the 2 1 entire heat transfer system or portions within 22 the systems? 23 Q. When I'm referring to systems, I'm referring to 24 the entire heat transfer system. 25 A. Generally those that operated at the higher
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074369

1 temperature, and those that were operated at 2 higher pressures. 3 Q. When you say temperature and pressures what are 4 you referring to? 5 A. I'll try to remember. And I'm sure these are 6 not totally accurate. I would suggest that 7 temperatures above 400 degrees Fahrenheit and 8 pressures exceeding 200 pounds per square inch. 9 Q. Was this knowledge that Monsanto shared with 10 parties that used the heat transfer systems? 11 A. When you say -- do you mean did Monsanto tell 12 customers under these conditions you might have 13 leaks, is that what you mean by that? 14 Q. Correct. 15 A. Of course I can't speak for the individuals that 16 were dealing directly with the customer but in 17 assisting the customer in selecting the portions 18 of the system that might be affected such as the 19 packing around a pump or the gasket between two 20 connecting flanges, pressures and temperatures 2 1 are definitely a part of that consideration in 22 selecting do you use an asbestos gasket or a 2 3 Teflon gasket and so on. 24 Q. Do you know if there was anything that users of 2 5 the heat transfer systems could do to avoid

1 leaks? 2 MR. DAVIDSON: Let me interpose an 3 objection. Monsanto is not a manufacturer of 4 heat transfer systems and not a manufacturer of 5 all types of heat transfer fluids. There are 6 hundreds, I suppose. Your notice called for 7 questions with regard to use of Aroclors in heat 8 transfer systems. Monsanto wasn't in the 9 business of advising people about heat transfer 10 systems generally or how they worked or how they 11 should work or any of that sort of stuff, so we 12 need to get back more to the focus of what your 13 suit is about. 14 MR. WARNING: I understand your 15 concern. I'm almost done with this area. 16 MR. DAVIDSON: Just that water and 17 oil, petroleum oils, Aroclors and a whole lot of 18 different things could be heat transfer media. 19 MR. WARNING: Right, and my questions 20 were directed, and I should have been more 2 1 clear, directed to heat transfer systems using 22 Aroclors is what I'm referring to. 23 Q. Mr. Papageorge, do you know if there were any 24 benefits to using Aroclors rather than other 2 5 fluids that could be used as heat transfer

1 fluid? 2 A. Well - 3 MR. KLINE: Objection, no 4 foundation. 5 A. The benefits that could be described would be 6 based on what it's being compared to. I have in 7 mind such things as fire resistance. Water is 8 fire resistant also, but the benefits of Aroclor 9 is that they can reach higher temperature 10 without having to resort to high pressure steam, 11 which usually requires a licensed operator. 12 Then one might talk about the benefits of just 13 clear lubricity of this Aroclor as compared to 14 some other fluids, whether it be water or 15 petroleum oil or glycol and so on. So I don't 16 know that I answered your question, but it 17 depends what you're comparing it to. 18 (Product brochure 19 marked as Exhibit No. 17 20 for identification.) 2 1 Q. Mr. Papageorge, you've just been handed a 22 document that's been identified by the court 2 3 reporter as Papageorge Exhibit No. 17. Would 24 you take a moment to look at that, please? 25 A. I have scanned the document.

1 Q. Thank you. For the record, this begins with 2 Bates number NVF 68. Have you seen this 3 document before? 4 A. Yes, I have. 5 Q. Could you tell us what it is, please? 6 A. This is a copy of a product brochure developed 7 by Monsanto to describe the properties of 8 plasticizers sold under the trademark Aroclor, 9 in, I would suggest, about 1971. 10 Q. You just said about 1971. Would that be the 11 date that this was prepared to the best of your 12 knowledge? 13 A. To the best of my knowledge, yes. 14 Q. Mr. Papageorge, was this a document that was 15 prepared in the ordinary course of Monsanto's 16 business? 17 A. Yes. 18 Q. Was either this document or a copy of this 19 document kept within Monsanto's files? 20 A. Yes. 2 1 Q. That's all I have with that. Thank you. 22 (Group of documents 2 3 marked as Exhibit No. 18 24 for identification.) 25 Q. Mr. Papageorge, you've just been handed several

1 documents that have been grouped together as
2 Papageorge Exhibit No. 18. These are documents
3 with Bates numbers NVF 114, 115, 116 and 117.
4 If you would take a moment to look at those,
5 please?
6 A. I have looked at the exhibit.
7 Q. Have you seen these documents before, Mr.
8 Papageorge?
9 A. I have.
10 Q. Could you tell us what they are, please?
11 A. The first three, NVF 114, 115, 116 are copies of
12 what Monsanto referred to as call reports.
13 These are reports prepared by marketing
14 representatives describing visits with customers
15 and what was discussed. The document marked NVF
16 117 is a memorandum, a Monsanto memorandum in
17 which a field marketing representative informed
18 a marketing representative in St. Louis of an
19 order placed by NVF.
20 Q. Do you know if these documents were produced in
21 the ordinary course of Monsanto's business?
22 A. Yes, they were.

1 Q. And would either the original or a copy of these 2 documents have been kept in Monsanto's files? 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. If you would look at Page 114, please? 5 A. I have it. 6 Q. Do you see about halfway down that document 7 where it says to CP Farley? 8 A. I see that. 9 Q. Do you know who CP Farley is? 10 A. Mr. Farley was a marketing representative 11 located in St. Louis who assisted the field 12 people in responding to any inquiries made by 13 customers which the field individual felt he 14 needed further information. 15 Q. And do you see next to CP Farley there is WS 16 Clark? 17 A. I see that. 18 Q. Do you know who WS Clark is? 19 A. Mr. Clark at that time, as best I remember, was 20 Mr. Farley's immediate supervisor. 2 1 Q. Do you see above that to the right there, a box 22 labeled "salesman"? 23 A. Yes. 24 Q. Do you see John M. Van Gelder? 25 A . I do.

1 Q. Do you know who that is? 2 A. He is the marketing representative operating out 3 in the field making calls on customers within a 4 given geographic area. 5 Q. Would you look at Page 115 please, Mr. 6 Papageorge? 7 A. I have it. 8 Q. Do you see about halfway down that document 9 where it says to JH Orem? 10 A. I see that. 11 Q. Do you know who JH Orem is? 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. Could you tell us who he is, please, he or she? 14 A. Mr. Orem, as best I remember, Mr. Orem replaced 15 Mr. Farley in the St. Louis office. 16 Q. Mr. Papageorge, do you know why the call reports 17 which comprise documents 114, 115 and 116 were 18 generated at Monsanto? 19 A. Of course I can't put myself in the position 20 that the field salesmen were in. It varied, the 2 1 use of the call report varied with the field 22 marketing representative's perception of the 2 3 importance of the item discussed, his ability to 24 get to a telephone, and his need to talk to more 25 than one person at a time and so I really can't

It wasn't only normal, it was a quite frequent 6 practice. 7 Q. Mr. Papageorge, would you look at Page 117, 8 please, in that exhibit? 9 A. I have it. 10 Q. Do you see near the bottom of the print on that 11 page a name which is Fred G. Sutton? 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. Do you know who Fred G. Sutton is? 14 A. Yes, I was trying to recall the exact title. He 15 was, as best I remember, a district manager to 16 whom the field salesmen reported in that area. 17 Q. That's all I have with that exhibit.

Yes. 7 Q. Mr. Papageorge, do you know if these documents 8 were distributed to anyone outside of Monsanto? 9 A. Yes, they were. 10 Q. Do you know who they would have been distributed 11 to? 12 A. This would have been customers of Monsanto that 13 had purchased Pydraul F-9 for use at their 14 facilities. It was also given to potential 15 customers, entities that exhibited an interest 16 in this type of material and were considering 17 using it in their equipment. 18 Q.

1 Q. Would that be the date that document was 2 prepared? 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. When you said these were given to customers of 5 Pydraul and potential customers, how did 6 Monsanto determine which customers would receive 7 these if you know? 8 A. Well, the records would indicate who had 9 purchased Pydraul F-9. They would be perused 10 and a list put together and the marketing 11 department would be given the task, if you will, 12 of distributing either personally or by mail to 13 those customers on that list. 14 Q. Was there a time period involved in the 15 preparation of the list? And what I'm asking is 16 how far back in time, if you know, did the list 17 go to create the customers? 18 A. By practice it was at least three years prior to 19 date of issuance and any additional past 2 0 customers that may have purchased the material 2 1 in a period before that three-year period. 22 Q. Mr. Papageorge, do you recall on July 30, you 23 looked at several product bulletins that 24 Monsanto had produced? 25 A. Yes, sir.

1 Q. When you told us that those bulletins were sent 2 to customers and potential customers of 3 Monsanto, would your testimony that you just 4 described for documents 3585 and 3595 as far as 5 how the customers were determined, would that 6 testimony apply to those product bulletins as 7 well ? 8 A. Yes. 9 MR. KLINE: I'm just going to place 10 an objection on the record. I'm still confused 11 as to the definition of customer, and we can 12 either correct it now to eliminate my confusion 13 or wait for me to ask questions. But if we 14 don't correct it sooner rather than later, it is 15 going to require me to ask a lot more 16 questions. And my general confusion is the 17 witness has talked about customers as being 18 direct customers and customers as being indirect 19 customers and then using -- and we're using the 2 0 general term customers and I want to know if 2 1 implicit in that use is that NVF would have been 22 a customer of Monsanto versus a customer of an 2 3 indirect customer which would be a user. I 24 don't want to have to ask him as to each 25 document that we've gone through, is this sent

1 to NVF, was that sent to NVF and the impression 2 given by using the generic term customers is 3 that it was sent to everybody. 4 MR. WARNING: If you go back to the 5 first day, Mr. Papageorge explained what he 6 means when he referred to customers. 7 MR. KLINE: I can refer to Page 68 of 8 the first day of testimony was, there were 9 direct customers which were the users that 10 Monsanto sold directly to. So there was a 11 relationship there between Monsanto and that 12 customer and there were indirect customers which 13 are distributors, the people that didn't use the 14 product but distributed it to others and then he 15 says that they were users, and the users were 16 the people that purchased it from the indirect 17 customers. And NVF obviously is in that 18 category. So by using the term customer 19 generically I still don't know whether we're 2 0 saying NVF was a customer. 2 1 MR. LOHMAR: Why don't we ask the 22 witness? 2 3 MR. WARNING: He's also told us that 24 customer means direct and indirect customer. 25 MR. KLINE: Right, so implicitly that

1 would not be a user as he defined when he 2 defined customers, as being a person not with a 3 relationship with Monsanto who purchased it from 4 a direct customer. That's been my confusion 5 ongoing and I think sooner rather than later we 6 should try to correct this so I can avoid having 7 to go through a myriad of documents. 8 MR. WARNING: I'm not sure something 9 needs to be corrected, but I also don't want you 10 to go through a myriad of documents. 11 MR. LOHMAR: Maybe I could ask two or 12 three questions. You've seen a number of 13 documents where American Mineral Spirits 14 purchased Aroclor, shipped to NVF. Do you 15 recall those documents? 16 THE WITNESS: I do. 17 MR. LOHMAR: Those documents 18 indicated that NVF was actually the end user of 19 the product, did they not? 20 THE WITNESS: Yes. 2 1 MR. LOHMAR: In such a situation 22 would you consider NVF to be a customer of 23 Monsanto? 24 THE WITNESS: I think the confusion 25 lies in this use of the word "customer," normal

1 customer among Monsanto's team members and the 2 use of the word "customer" as it applied to a 3 formal notification through the mails of some of 4 these notices and documents that we've 5 reviewed. Once an entity appeared on Monsanto's 6 documents as either a sold to or shipped to, 7 they were a known entity to Monsanto. The 8 minute that name appeared, it was picked up in 9 the records as a customer for notifying. Until 10 that name appeared on their record, Monsanto had 11 no idea what entities like Mineral Spirits was 12 selling and where that material was going. 13 MR. LOHMAR: In other words, if I can 14 clarify, if you had a situation where the 15 Aroclors were not only sold to Mineral Spirits 16 but also shipped to Mineral Spirits and they 17 later shipped it to somebody else, in that 18 situation, since you did not know who the end 19 user was they would not appear as a customer? 2 0 THE WITNESS: That's correct. 21 MR. LOHMAR: And in a dropped shipped 22 to NVF in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, Monsanto 23 would consider NVF to be a customer for the 24 purpose of notification? 25 THE WITNESS: That's correct.

KLINE: Do you recall your 18 testimony from the first day concerning that 19 based upon the fact that NVF was the person or 2 0 entity that Monsanto shipped directly to that at 2 1 this point in time NVF would have made 22 Monsanto's customer list? 23 THE WITNESS: Yes. 24 MR.

Do you know if those documents or copies of them 7 were kept in Monsanto's files? 8 A. They were. 9 Q. Would you be able to date any of those 10 documents? What I mean by date is can you tell 11 us when any of them were prepared? 12 A. The only one I could date is reflected on page 13 NVF 3574, the date April 15, 1960. 14 Q. Mr. Papageorge, do you know if anyone outside of 15 Monsanto would have received any of those 16 documents? 17 A. Yes, customers on Monsanto's list of those who 18 purchased Pydraul F-9, and they were also made 19 available to any potential customer who made 2 0 inquiries regarding the many Pydrauls discussed 21 in this exhibit. 22 Q. Mr. Papageorge, when a customer of Monsanto that 2 3 purchased Aroclor products then sold those 24 products to another entity, when Monsanto sold 25 its products to them and when it sent documents

1 such as the ones in front of you, do you know if 2 those customers would forward those documents to 3 their customers? 4 MR. KLINE: Objection, overbroad. 5 You can answer. 6 A. I don't want to mislead here. We are looking at 7 Pydraul -8 Q. Right. 9 A. -- documents. Pydrauls were sold directly by 10 Monsanto. A distributor would not have been 11 involved. But if a distributor was involved 12 with other Monsanto products, he would be 13 supplied with similar documents and he was 14 encouraged and expected to pass that onto his 15 customers who were unknown to Monsanto. 16 Q. Monsanto encouraged the distributor to pass 17 those along; correct? 18 A. Yes, that's part of the arrangement. 19 Q. That's all I have with that exhibit.

1 documents identified as Papageorge Exhibit No. 2 23. If you would please take a moment to look 3 at those. And these documents all begin with 4 Bates numbers NVF 3231, 3310, 3325, 3372, 3393, 5 3441, 3481, 3503, and 3511. Gerard, I believe 6 these are documents identified previously in my 7 letter last week. 8 A. I have scanned the documents in the exhibit. 9 Q. Mr. Papageorge, have you seen those documents 10 before? 11 A. Yes, I have. 12 Q. Could you tell us what they are, please? 13 A. This is a collection of brochures describing 14 Monsanto's hydraulic fluids sold under the trade 15 name Pydrauls and includes two pamphlets, the 16 one beginning with NVF 3503 and other beginning 17 with NVF 3511, which describe some thoughts that 18 Monsanto had regarding the conversion of 19 existing systems for the use of Monsanto's 20 Pydraul fluids. 2 1 Q. Mr. Papageorge, would you be able to put a date 22 on any of those documents as far as when they 2 3 were prepared? 24 A. I note that some of them do have a date, for 25 example, on the page NVF 3253, in the lower

1 right-hand corner there is a date, but it's not 2 very clear. And the date is part of a string of 3 letters and digits, it appears, although I'm not 4 certain.

1 there is a date December, 1965? 2 A. I do. 3 Q. Do you know if that was when this document was 4 prepared? 5 A. No. I know it was not prepared in December. It 6 includes information through December '65 which 7 implies preparation in early '66. 8 Q. Would this document have been prepared within a 9 year after December, 1965, if you know? 10 A. Yes, definitely. 11 Q. Mr. Papageorge, because this document includes 12 reference to NVF company in 1965, having been 13 prepared as you just testified in 1966, does 14 that mean NVF company would have been on the 15 customer list you have referred to previously in 16 your deposition in 1966? 17 A. In 1966, yes, but you may remember we discussed 18 the three-year period plus any other key 19 customers added to that three years, so the 20 existence on a list will change with time. 21 Q. Would you explain what you mean by the existence 22 on the list will change with time? 23 A. I'm referring to a working copy of a customer 24 list in Monsanto personnel's files, it would 25 reflect those customers that were three years

1 plus some additionals which may cover a three to 2 six-year period. If the customer had not 3 purchased anything for 10 years, the customer's 4 name would drop from that list. 5 Q. So the fact that Monsanto -- strike that -- NVF 6 appeared on a sales summary prepared sometime in 7 the year 1966, what does that tell you about 8 NVF7s appearing on the customer list? 9 MR. DAVIDSON: Let me ask you to 10 clarify something. Earlier today you asked him 11 about some safety and handling sheets dating 12 back to '64, '66. You and he discussed to whom 13 those might have been mailed. In the previous 14 session of the deposition we talked specifically 15 about Aroclor warning letters and the lists that 16 were prepared and administered under Mr. 17 Papageorge's direction. I think you need to 18 distinguish exactly what list you're talking 19 about. 2 0 Q. Mr. Papageorge, the list of -- strike that. The 2 1 sales summary in NVF document No. 2 which was 22 prepared sometime during the year 1966, was 23 there a list that the company appearing on 24 document NVF 2, which is NVF, is there a list 25 that that company would have been put on by

1 virtue of being on this document? 2 A. At that time or when? 3 Q. At any time? 4 A. At any time. The customer of record list would 5 include this reference in 1966 once it was 6 picked up as a customer, and it would stay on 7 that list for at least three years. If someone 8 in the marketing organization perceived this as 9 a key customer, a very valuable contact, he 10 would maintain his own list out in his office in 11 the field, the name of that entity. 12 Q. This customer list you are referring to, was 13 that the same list that was used for the warning 14 letters that we discussed on July 30? 15 A. It was certainly a basis for pulling together 16 the thousands that were sent this warning letter 17 in early 1970, yes, that was a key source of 18 information. 19 Q. Mr. Papageorge, if you would look at document 20 NVF 9, please? 2 1 A. I have it. 22 Q. Do you see up in the right-hand corner a date 23 D-E-C, 1962? 24 A. I do. 25 Q.

1 prepared? 2 A. Early 1963. 3 Q. Do you see near the middle of that document 4 reference to N-A-T-L vulcanized F-I-B-R? 5 A. Ido. 6 Q. Because that entity appears on this document, 7 does that mean that this document would have 8 been used to create or update a customer list 9 which would have included that entity? 10 A. I'm getting confused because I don't think I'm 11 explaining it clearly. In 1962, as an example, 12 a record of customers would have included 13 National Vulcanized F-I-B-R that we talked about 14 earlier, and it would have stayed on that list, 15 of course it's in '63 when this was documented, 16 it would have stayed on the list in '64 and '65, 17 maybe '66. And if no further sales were 18 recorded, very likely the name of that customer 19 would be dropped from the list and therefore it 2 0 would not have shown up in the 1970 mailing. 2 1 Q. Mr. Papageorge, would you look at NVF 4, please? 22 A. Yes, I have it. 2 3 Q. Do you see in the upper right-hand corner a date 24 D-E-C '59? 2 5 A. I do.

I have it. 6 Q. -- that you just looked at, the item 1958 7 through 1970 where it says no sales found for 8 these years? 9 A. Right; I see that. 10 Q. The fact that NVF received 32,400 pounds of 11 Aroclor 1254 which was shipped to them August 12 13, 1970, but it does not appear on NVF 21, is 13 that due to the fact that American Mineral 14 Spirits Company was the customer for the 15 transaction of August 13, 1970? 16 A. I'm under an impression it would have been 17 picked up for the shipped to location. Not 18 knowing how this document, NVF 21, was put 19 together, I don't know why it wasn't included as 2 0 a shipment to the Kennett Square location. I 2 1 just can't help you on that.

I'm only aware of the situation where the 3 original Aroclor is modified by the environment 4 whether it be by the chemicals or bacteria, 5 whatever agent causes that change, the only 6 change that I have been able to learn about and 7 get familiar with is the change where the 8 Aroclor goes up in Aroclor number. In other 9 words, it will contain the higher chlorinated 10 types of PCBs which are the more difficult to 11 change, so your example of Aroclor 1254 going 12 down to Aroclor 1248, I have no evidence that 13 this happens. It's never been found. 14 Q. Mr. Papageorge, those are all the questions I 15 have. Thank you very much. 16 A. Thank you. 17 MR. WARNING: Off the record. 18 (Discussion off the record) 19 20 EXAMINATION 2 1 QUESTIONS BY MR. LOHMAR: 22 Q. My name is Doug Lohmar, and I also represent one 2 3 of the insurance companies who for some 24 unfathomable reason NVF is suing in the state of 25 New Jersey. I have a number of questions. As

1 you know, I've been sitting here about a day and 2 a half and I want to get a clearer understanding 3 of some of the things you've testified. You've 4 testified to the customer list and the 5 maintenance of a customer list. There was a 6 separate customer list for each product that 7 Monsanto sold, was there not? 8 A. Yes. 9 Q. So you would have a customer list, for example, 10 for Aroclor 1248 and a separate list for Aroclor 11 12 54? 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. And bulletins sent to people who purchased 1248 14 may not be sent to people who purchased 1254? 15 A. It depends on the type bulletin. 16 Q. A bulletin specific to Aroclor 1248 would be 17 sent to the customers of 1248? 18 A. Correct. 19 Q. You also mentioned that on a periodic basis 2 0 Monsanto would purge its customer list; correct? 2 1 A. Do what, sir? 2 2 Q. Would purge the customer list? 2 3 A. Yes. 24 Q. Of people who had not bought the product for a 2 5 certain period of time?

1 A. Yes. 2 Q. Was that something that was automatically done? 3 A. Yes, sir. The procedure was such that those 4 responsible for preparing the list were given 5 guidelines in terms of customers to keep on the 6 list and the period of time on which they would 7 base their judgment call as to whether or not to 8 keep that customer or drop it because it became 9 an unimportant piece of information. 10 Q. Are these guidelines still available? 11 A. I don't know. 12 Q. When was the last time you saw these guidelines? 13 A. About 1975 or so. 14 Q. So you haven't seen them for the last 20 some 15 years? 16 A. That is true. 17 Q. I would like to show you a document here. 18 Brett, I gave you copy of it. Maybe you can 19 show your copy. I'm going to ask the court 2 0 reporter to mark this document as Papageorge 2 1 27. It looks like a four-page letter from Mr. 22 John H. Craddock to Dr. William Lair dated June 2 3 16, 1986. And if you could take a moment to 24 look at that document, I would appreciate it. 25 This document is Bates stamped 10029 through

1 31. 2 (Letter dated 6/16/86 3 marked as Exhibit No. 27 4 for identification.) 5 MR. KLINE: I would like to note for 6 the record and for the witness' benefit that the 7 handwriting on pages of this document is not 8 Monsanto handwriting. 9 MR. LOHMAR: We don't know that. We 10 have one witness who testified it's his; that's 11 true. 12 MR. KLINE: That witness is not with 13 Monsanto. 14 A. I have reviewed the exhibit. 15 Q. Sir, have you seen the first page of this 16 document before today? 17 A. No, I haven't. 18 Q. Are you familiar with a John H. Craddock? 19 A. Yes. 2 0 Q. How are you familiar with Dr. Craddock? 21 A. Well, he reported to me at one time as one of 22 the team. He's involved in environmental 23 matters at Monsanto. 24 Q. So Dr. Craddock would have had the position of 2 5 product and environmental safety director of

1 Monsanto in the Environmental Safety and Health
2 Staff on or about June of '86?
.
3 A. Correct.
4 Q. And you were familiar with him because he was a
5 fellow employee at that time?
6 A. Yes, at that time he was reporting to me in
7 1986 .
8 Q. In this cover letter, sir, Dr. Craddock states,
9 and I quote, "Sales records of this duration are
10 not usually maintained as a routine course;
11 therefore, I am not sure of their
12 completeness." Do you see that sentence?
13 A. I do.
14 Q. Do you agree with Dr. Craddock's representation
15 regarding the completeness of sales records from
16 the period of 1954 through 1977?
17 A. That' s true.
18 Q. So the records that have been produced by
19 Monsanto here are simply the documents available
2 0 to Monsanto for that period of time?
2 1 A. Correct.
22 Q. And since sales records were not maintained as a
2 3 routine course, the completeness of the
24 information provided regarding shipments
25 Monsanto made to NVF is unknown?

WATER PCB-SD0000074410
2-49
1 A. Yes, but you'll note that it says sales records 2 of this duration are not routinely or not 3 usually maintained. 4 Q. Based on what you just said, what is your 5 understanding of the term "this duration"? 6 A. Especially the early years, the 1950s, the 7 system was not as efficient, let me call it, as 8 it was in the '70s. 9 Q. But we've already seen your -- here's one 10 shipment of 32,400 pounds made in 1970 that for 11 some reason was not included in the sales 12 summary? 13 A. At least on this one I have. It may appear on 14 another summary. 15 Q. And you've seen exhibit -- as one of the 16 deposition exhibits, summaries that Monsanto has 17 provided to us from its record, have you not? 18 A. That's true. 19 Q. And the August 13, 1970, shipment was not on 2 0 those summaries; correct? 2 1 A. Not under NVF, correct. 22 Q. Is there some way to trace, sir, where on the 23 sales summary the shipment identified on NVF 24 000112 would be recorded? 2 5 A. 00112?
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074411
2-50
1 Q. Right.
2 A. That's this one?
3 Q. In other words, is there something on this
4 document which would tell us where in Monsanto's 5 sales summary records this shipment would be 6 recorded? 7 A . If it didn't appear on the NVF summary, I would 8 go back on the system and look it up under 9 American Mineral Spirits.
10 Q. That's because American Mineral Spirits is the
11 sold to; correct? 12 A. Correct.
13 Q. Sir, I'm going to hand you -- will you take a
14 look at the Exhibit No. 25, I believe, there are 15 NVF, the Monsanto sales summaries to NVF? 16 A. Uh-huh.
17 Q. I note, for example, sir, on the document that
18 is Bates stamped number NVF 000004? 19 A. I have it. 20 Q. Do you see the code that appears in the far 2 1 left-hand column in the computerized printout in 2 2 the bottom half of the Page 515447? 23 A. I see the 51544 something; is that a T or a 24 seven? I don't know. It's some handwritten -
25 Q. Is it handwritten on your copy, sir?

2-51
1 A. I'm sorry, it's a seven. It's blurred. It is a 2 seven. 3 Q. Does that number have some significance to you? 4 A. It did at one time. It refers to that customer, 5 but that's all I recall. 6 Q. Sir, today we've talked about a number of 7 various salespeople? 8 MR. DAVIDSON: Are you finished with 9 those? 10 MR. LOHMAR: I believe so, yes. 11 Thank you, sir. 12 Q. I do have one other question going back to the 13 letter of Dr. Craddock. 14 A. I have it. 15 Q. In the final sentence of the second to last 16 paragraph, Dr. Craddock states, quote, "A void 17 does not necessarily mean no sales occurred, it 18 only means no records are still available." Do 19 you see that? 2 0 A. Yes. 2 1 Q. Do you agree with Dr. Craddock's statement 22 there? 2 3 A. Yes. 24 Q. So when Dr. Craddock in the attachments 25 represents no sales found for these years, he
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074413
2-52
1 means Monsanto simply had no records for these 2 sales? 3 A. That is true. 4 Q. Or at least had no records it could find? 5 A. That's correct. 6 Q. He didn't mean to represent that no sales had 7 actually taken place? 8 A. That is correct. 9 Q. Thank you, sir. Sir, is there any way to 10 determine when a specific customer would be 11 dropped from a specific customer list? 12 A. A way to determine it? 13 Q. Let me make it a little easier for you. Did 14 Monsanto maintain records, let's say periodic 15 records of who would be on the list for a 16 certain calendar year? 17 A. They would prepare lists on a periodic basis and 18 that period depended on the opinion of the 19 individual in Monsanto assigned that particular 20 product, and his knowledge of the activity in 2 1 that kind of product sales would help him 22 determine that a new list was in order or the 2 3 old list is still a good list. So there was no 24 set ground rule that says on such a day of the 25 year you must correct your list. And therefore
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074414
2-53
1 the lists would vary from annually reviewing to 2 maybe a five-year period or ten-year period. It 3 depended on the type of product. 4 Q. Did Monsanto keep copies of each list that it 5 had for each product for each period of time 6 that list was used? 7 A. Monsanto as part of their record keeping program 8 kept those for periods of time that I don't 9 remember anymore. They were not kept forever. 10 Q. Do you know how many of these lists currently 11 exist today? 12 A. No, I don't. 13 Q. Sir, earlier you testified that Mr. CP Farley 14 was at one time an employee of Monsanto; 15 correct? 16 A. Correct. 17 Q. Do you know if Mr. Farley is still alive today? 18 A. Yes, he is. 19 Q. Do you know where he lives? 20 A. In the St. Louis area as close as I could come. 21 Q. Do you know if he's still an employee of 22 Monsanto? 2 3 A. No, he's retired. 24 Q. You also testified Mr. Clark was Mr. Farley's 25 immediate supervisor at one time?
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO

1 A. Yes. 2 Q. Do you know if Mr. Clark is still alive today? 3 A. I don't know. 4 Q. Do you know where he lived at the time he was an 5 employee at Monsanto? 6 A. Mr. Clark, in the St. Louis area. 7 Q. Do you know Mr. Clark's first name? 8 A. Willis, W-I-L-L-I-S. 9 Q. Do you happen to know his middle initial? 10 A. No, I don't. 11 Q. You also mentioned a John M. Van Gunder was at 12 one time an employee or salesperson for 13 Monsanto? 14 A. Yes. 15 MR. WARNING: I believe it was Van 16 Gelder. 17 MR. LOHMAR: Thank you. 18 Q. Do you know if Mr. Van Gelder is still alive 19 today? 2 0 A. I do not know. 2 1 Q. Do you know where he lived at the time he was 22 working for Monsanto? 2 3 A. Mr. Van Gelder had many different assignments 24 throughout the country, so his address kept 25 changing. I just don't really know exactly

1 where he lived. 2 Q. When he was working as a marketing rep servicing 3 a client in southeastern Pennsylvania, I will 4 tell you it's southeastern Pennsylvania, do you 5 know where he was working out of at that time? 6 A. Wilmington, Delaware. 7 Q. Did NVF -- strike that. Did Monsanto at the 8 time have an office in Wilmington, Delaware? 9 A. Yes. 10 Q. Was that a sales office? 11 A. It was a district sales office. 12 Q. Do you know if it still has such a district 13 sales office? 14 A. No, I don't. 15 Q. Do you know the address of that district sales 16 office? 17 A. You might find it in some of these bulletins, in 18 the back page. 19 Q. You also mentioned a Mr. JH Orem who was at one 20 time -- you also mentioned Mr. Orem who was an 2 1 employee of Monsanto? 22 A. Yes. 2 3 Q. Do you know if Mr. Orem is still alive today? 24 A. I do not. 25 Q. Do you know his first name?

1 A . I don't remember it. 2 Q. At the time Mr. Orem was working for Monsanto 3 did he also work out of the St. Louis office? 4 A. He did at one time, but he was also out in the 5 district offices. I don't know the timing, 6 however. 7 Q. Sir, we spent a lot of time talking about the 8 Monsanto product known as Pydraul. Did Pydraul 9 contain any Aroclor products? 10 A. At one time, yes. 11 Q. What time was that, sir? 12 A. What time -- from the middle '50s to about 1971 13 or 2 . 14 Q. Do you know what type of Aroclor Pydraul 15 contained? 16 A. It depended on the Pydraul; sometimes it was 17 Aroclor 1242, sometimes Aroclor 1248. 18 Q. Would it help if I told you it was Pydraul F-9? 19 A. Not very much. I would have to review the 20 recipe for all of these to determine which 21 ingredients were mixed together to make the 2 2 final product. 2 3 Q. When NVF -- strike that. When Monsanto would 24 have technical bulletins dealing with - 25 MR. DAVIDSON: Could we go off the

2-57
1 record? 2 (Discussion off the record) 3 MR. LOHMAR: Back on the record. 4 Q. Sir, since Pydraul contained certain Aroclors, 5 would customers who ordered Pydraul receive the 6 technical bulletins related to those Aroclors? 7 MR. KLINE: Objection, receive from 8 whom? 9 MR. LOHMAR: Receive from Monsanto. 10 Let me rephrase the question to satisfy Mr. 11 Kline. 12 Q. Since certain Pydrauls contained certain 13 Aroclors, would the Monsanto customers of those 14 Pydrauls receive the technical bulletins from 15 Monsanto that related to those Aroclors? 16 A. Not likely. 17 Q. Why is that, sir? 18 A. The bulletins and brochures prepared for the 19 Pydrauls attempted to address the very issues 2 0 that the Aroclor bulletins addressed regarding 2 1 handling and exposure and the like. I don't 22 know at any time whether many customers were 2 3 even aware of which of the Aroclors were present 24 in the Pydraul. They were just told this is a 25 complex mixture, handle it this way. So the

WATER PCB-SD000007441
2-58
1 brochures for Aroclors very unlikely did not go 2 to the Pydraul customers. 3 Q. Thank you, sir. Sir, Mr. Warning asked you 4 questions about whether the Aroclor over time 5 could change in the environment from one 6 numbered Aroclor to another numbered Aroclor. 7 Do you know of any circumstances where a certain 8 Aroclor, say Aroclor 1248, would degrade into 9 some other substance in the environment? 10 MR. KLINE: Objection, vague; are you 11 asking him some other non PCB substance? 12 MR. LOHMAR: My question stands. 13 A. When you use the word "degrade," I have a little 14 trouble because each of us may have a different 15 definition of degrading. I would suggest in my 16 mind it refers to is there a chemical change 17 that takes place. 18 Q. Let me make it a little more specific. Do you 19 know of a certain situation where a certain 20 Aroclor would change its chemical composition at 2 1 any time due to the exposure to the environment? 22 A. There is evidence that that does happen and what 23 does happen varies with the conditions to which 24 this Aroclor was exposed. 25 Q. Excluding the testimony you've already given
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD000007442'
2-59
1 where a certain Aroclor would increase the 2 amount of chlorine and actually rise in number 3 from let's say Aroclor 1248 to a higher number, 4 do you know of any other circumstance where 5 Aroclor due to exposure to the environment would 6 change its chemical composition? 7 A. When you excluded that other example, you left 8 out the resulting products that did appear. 9 Q. Do you know what kinds of resulting products 10 those would be? 11 A. Those products, to my knowledge, have never been 12 identified. When the sample of Aroclor is put 13 through an analytical system, it doesn't pick up 14 these new chemicals that were generated. It 15 just picks up a fingerprint of an Aroclor. 16 Q. Sir, I believe you testified on the first day 17 that Aroclor 1254 was not commonly used as a 18 heat transfer system; do you remember that? 19 A. I do. 20 Q. What was the more common use of Aroclor 1254? 2 1 A. Aroclor 1254 was, I suppose when you say the 22 most common use, it was an ingredient in 2 3 electrical equipment fluids. 24 Q. When you say electrical equipment fluids are you 25 talking about transformers?
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074421
2-60
1 A. Primarily transformers, but also some electric 2 switch gear. 3 Q. Would there be any reason for an industrial user 4 to want to combine two different kinds of 5 Aroclors together? 6 A. Yes, in fact I'm trying to recall, I believe we, 7 Monsanto, sold some of those blends and the 8 intent was to try to get a certain property they 9 were looking for such as fluidity, too viscous, 10 is it too thin, we want something in between 11 that sort of property, so at times this was 12 done . 13 Q. Do you know if end users would actually buy two 14 kinds of Aroclors and blend them themselves to 15 obtain a certain result? 16 A. That was possible. I would never know what they 17 did once the material arrived at their plant 18 gate . 19 Q. Through your communications with various 2 0 customers of Monsanto, do you recall any of them 2 1 telling you that they actually blended two kinds 22 of Aroclors together to reach a certain 2 3 viscosity or attain a certain pressure or 24 temperature or any other purpose? 25 A. Not to me personally, I don't recall any such

1 discussion. 2 Q. Are you familiar with the term 3 "bioaccumulation"? 4 A. Yes. 5 Q. Are you familiar -- are you familiar with that 6 term? 7 A. I can give you an example where, let's take PCBs 8 as an example, entered the environment and 9 they're present in concentrations that are 10 extremely dilute, takes sophisticated 11 instruments to detect. There are creatures out 12 there in that environment that consume some of 13 these PCBs; it builds up in their systems. 14 These creatures in turn are eaten by bigger 15 creatures in an aquatic environment, for 16 example, you end up with the biggest fish in the 17 river having a lot more PCBs in its tissue than 18 what appears in the water itself. And it builds 19 up because of this bioaccumulation phenomenon. 20 Q. When did Monsanto first learn that PCBs, for 2 1 example, would bioaccumulate in aquatic life, 22 fishes? 2 3 A. As best I can remember it was late 1970, early 24 '71. 25 Q. About the same time that Monsanto realized there
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074423
2-62
1 was the environmental hazard associated with 2 PCBs? 3 A. When you use the word "hazard," I don't know 4 that it had been established yet. Presence, 5 yes, it was out there and it was present in 6 higher quantities in some samples than others, 7 this kind of thing, but the hazard, I don't know 8 that in 1970, '71 it was established that in 9 truth it was a hazard. 10 MR. WARNING: You just a moment ago 11 said late 1970s or early '71. Did you mean late 12 1960s or early '71 when you identified the time 13 period? 14 THE WITNESS: I thought we were 15 talking about bioaccumulation. 16 Q. (By Mr. Lohmar) Wasn't it your testimony that 17 Monsanto realized about the bioaccumulation in 18 approximately late 1970 or early 1971? 19 A. The bioaccumulation, yes, not presence. 2 0 MR. WARNING: Thank you. 2 1 Q. Sir, by 1970 wasn't Monsanto alerting its 2 2 customers of the potential environmental 2 3 problems associated with PCBs? 24 A. Correct. 25 MR. KLINE: Are you saying before

WATER PCB-SD0000074424
2-63
1 1970? 2 MR. LOHMAR: The question speaks for 3 itself, sir. 4 MR. KLINE: I object as vague. 5 Q. (By Mr. Lohmar) When you say -- I want to make 6 sure we're not dealing with environmental 7 semantics. We've talked about PCB presence, PCB 8 hazard, PCB problems. Let's make it June 1, 9 1970, Monsanto was alerting certain of its 10 customers there were potential environmental 11 problems with PCBs; correct? 12 A. Correct. 13 Q. What was the problem that Monsanto saw with PCBs 14 in the environment at that time? 15 A. It's the presence of an environmental -- sorry. 16 It's the presence in the environment of an 17 industrial chemical that in Monsanto's opinion 18 should not exist in those samples that were 19 reported as containing this chemical, PCBs, and 2 0 I think I referred earlier to the presence in 2 1 fish out of nonindustrial waters, the presence 22 in pine needles up in Sweden, those were 23 disturbing to Monsanto. They could not explain 24 that presence based on their knowledge of the 2 5 material at the time and where it was used.

24 customer list before August 13, 1970, for this
25 particular product, what information would NVF
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074427
2-66
1 send to -- what information would Monsanto send
2 to NVF now that NVF has purchased this product?
3 A. I don't know what transpired. I don't know if
4 someone in Monsanto's organization contacted
5 American Mineral Spirits or while they were
6 talking to American Mineral Spirits to make this
7 shipment what discussion was held about is this
8 a new customer, does he have the literature,
9 should we send it to him or will you send it, so
10 I don't have enough information to know what was
11 sent along with this shipment regarding
12
literature.
It all depends on what the
13 individuals involved understood, NVF's
14 familiarity with this material.
15 Q. Well, assuming, that NVF was not familiar with
16 this material, what literature would be sent at
17 that time?
18 MR. KLINE: Objection, calls for
19 speculation.
20 A. For the particular material and the
2 1 understanding of its use which could vary with
22 each individual, the very -- it's highly likely
23 that the pamphlet or brochure they would have
24 received is the one in which the Aroclor
25 plasticizers are described which is the brochure
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074428
2-67
1 that covers all those applications and the
2 physical properties and the handling
3 information.
4 Q. Let me see if I can be a little more specific.
5 Would the technical bulletin that was being used
6 for Aroclor 1254 have been shipped to NVF on or
7 about August 13, 1970, if Monsanto's records
8 indicated that it had not been sent before?
9 A. Not necessarily.
10 Q. Why not, sir?
11 A. Like I tried to indicate earlier, it depended on
12 the communications received from American
13 Mineral Spirits because the American Mineral
14 Spirits Company was in a position to supply that
15 information to its customer, NVF Company, long
16 before they placed this order with Monsanto.
17 Q. But Monsanto would have somehow checked, would
18 it not?
19
MR. KLINE:
Objection, leading.
20
MR. LOHMAR:
Excuse me, it's not my
2 1 witness.
22 Q. Monsanto would have checked to insure that
23 somehow the technical bulletin for this product
24 would have been sent to NVF?
25 A. That is the normal procedure for these kinds of
________________
(314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074429
2-68
1 arrangements.
2 Q. We've also seen a number of advisory letters
3 that were sent to various Monsanto customers
4 advising them of potential environmental hazard
5
associated with certain Aroclors.
Do you
6 remember seeing those during your first day of
7 testimony?
8 A. I do.
9 Q. Would it have been Monsanto's standard practice
10 to also insure those letters would have been
11 sent to NVF on or about or before August 13,
12 197 0?
13
MR. KLINE:
Before you answer the
14 question, I object.
15 MR. LOHMAR: The objection is noted.
16
MR. KLINE:
I want to state the basis
17
of the objection.
It's overbroad.
I'm going to
18 -- you're asking him to testify as to
19 Monsanto's practice --
20
MR. LOHMAR:
What is your objection?
21
MR. KLINE:
It's an unfair question.
22
MR. LOHMAR:
Now you can answer the
23 question.
24 I've forgotten the question.
25
MR. LOHMAR:
I'm not going to have
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074430
2-69
1 you lead the witness through your objection.
2 MR. KLINE: You haven't identified
3
the subject matter of the question.
You've
4 referred to a lot of notices.
5
MR. LOHMAR:
I've forgotten the
6
question.
Would you read it back?
7 Q. NVF 00112 indicates a shipment of Aroclor being
8 made August 13, 1970, does it not?
9 A . It does.
10 Q. Was it Monsanto's practice at that time to send
11 the various letters that you've testified about
12 to the ship to addresses for Aroclor shipments
13 that were made in 1970?
14
MR. KLINE:
Dated prior to this
15 date?
16 MR. LOHMAR: My question stands.
17
MR. KLINE:
The question is
18 completely ambiguous.
19
MR. LOHMAR:
Let me make it clear.
20 Q. We have seen various letters dated in May of
2 1 1970 and if you want me to, I can walk you
22 through those letters.
2 3 A. Early part of 1970.
24 Q. Let's make it easier for you, sir. This
25 shipment was on August 13, 1970, was it not?
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074431
2-70
1 A. Correct.
2 Q. Had Monsanto advised its customers of the
3 environmental problems associated with Aroclor
4 1254 prior to August 13, 1970, would it also
5 have so advised a customer who purchased Aroclor
6 1254 on August 13, 1970?
7 A. If Monsanto was in a position of understanding
8 that this customer had not been advised, that
9
would have been done.
If, however, the entity
10 American Mineral Spirits that placed the order
11 and was in a position to share that very data
12 and instructed to do so, if they had already
13 done that, Monsanto would not have repeated
14 that.
15 Q. So the only time Monsanto would not have sent it
16 is if they had some type of assurance that NVF
17 had already received the information?
18 A. Correct.
19 Q. Sir, we've seen a number of letters that do not
2 0 appear to have an addressee indicated on the
21
letters.
Do you remember those from your first
22 day of testimony?
23 A. Yes.
24 Q. Why was it that Monsanto's letters would contain
25 a copy of the letter that did not have the
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074432
2-71
1 specific addressee on it?
2 A. The decision, sir, was made to keep a copy of
3 the letter without the addressees in the event
4 someone had to refer to it, but the addressees
5 were documented on the page that was typed with
6 these adhesive labels. And it was actually a
7 double typing, one to place this adhesive label
8 as the addressee and the other to put on the
9
envelope.
And those typed adhesive backed
10 labels were photographed as the list of
11 customers that were -- that received the
12
mailing.
That copy of the addressees was placed
13 with the unaddressed copy of the letter and that
14 was the file for that particular mailing.
15 Otherwise it would have resulted in thousands of
16 letters, much more difficult to retrieve and
17 store and so on.
18 Q. Sir, are you familiar with the term "friction
19 losses"?
20 A. Friction losses, I'm familiar with it but not in
21 depth.
22
MR. LOHMAR:
Brett, would you see if
2 3 you can find this particular document, Bates
24
number 1758? If you could also find 1719.
I'm
25 going to be asking you to explain the charts in
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074433
2-72
1 1785 .
2
MR. WARNING:
Both those documents
3 were within Exhibit 15 which I have.
4
MR. LOHMAR:
All right.
Why don't
5 you find this one previously marked?
6
MR. WARNING:
Did you say 1719?
7
MR. LOHMAR:
Yes.
8 MR. WARNING: And 1758?
9 MR. LOHMAR: Right.
10 MR. WARNING: Mr. Papageorge, those
11 are the exhibits that had been marked previously
12 in your deposition.
13
MR. DAVIDSON:
That's page 1785.
14 Q. Sir, I've asked the court reporter to show you a
15 document marked NVF 001758 which I believe
16 you've previously testified is a Monsanto
17 document, is it not?
18 A. Yes, sir.
19
MR. DAVIDSON:
It's a part of?
20
MR. LOHMAR:
I believe it was shown
21 to the witness as a group exhibit.
22
MR. WARNING:
I t's part of Exhibit
23 No. 15.
24
MR. LOHMAR:
Sp ecifically, sir, I've
25 called your attention to a chart that appears on
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074434
2-73
1 page NVF 001785 which refers to friction losses
2 in system piping?
3 A. I do.
4 Q. Can you explain that chart for the record?
5 A. I'll try. Across the bottom of the page is the
6 designation and the flow rate in gallons per
7
minute.
This is the amount of fluid flowing
8
through the system.
And the vertical left-hand
9 side, the vertical column talks about a head
10
loss.
Now, the head loss is really an
11 expression to describe the amount of pressure
12 behind that liquid, if it's dribbling out the
13 end of the pipeline or has it really got a jet
14 of fluid. The five slanting columns across the
15
page reflect the change in flow rate.
Actually,
16 the flow rate does increase as you go from the
17 bottom of the five sloping lines to the top.
18 Each of those sloping lines represents the size
19
of the pipe and its wall thickness.
The
20 schedule refers to thick pipe and thin pipe.
2 1 What this says is that as you increase the flow
22 through each of these size pipes you will note
23
that you lose pressure.
The sloping goes on up
2 4 and you'll lose pressure as measured across the
25 page to this left-hand vertical column called
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074435
2-74
1
head loss.
So what this is really saying is
2 that the faster the flow and the smaller the
3 pipe, the higher the loss.
4 Q. Loss of what?
5 A. Of the pressure.
6 Q. So this chart essentially refers to friction
7 losses due to pressure?
8 A. By friction loss you're talking about a loss of
9 pressure due to the friction of the fluid
10 flowing in that system.
11 Q. If Aroclor 1248 is used in a closed system, is
12 there any reason to have to replace that Aroclor
13 over time?
14 A. There could be many reasons.
15 Q. What would be some of those reasons?
16 A. They could range from contamination from other
17 fluids in the system or there is even a
18 possibility of overheating.
19 Q. How would overheating require the Aroclor to be
20 replaced?
2 1 A. You can reach the point where you get what
2 2 amounts to a charring, you're changing its
23
chemistry.
We don't know why it changes, but we
24 know it converts from a clear baby oil looking
25 fluid to a dark brown like the oil in your
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074436
2-75
1
automobile, so something is changing that.
And
2
many times that's due to overheating.
There are
3 other possibilities where within the system,
4 parts of the system are failing like a gasket is
5 wearing or a packing around, the pump or even the
6 metal parts that are moving are losing bits and
7
pieces of metal into the fluid.
That would
8
require a change.
There are some systems that
9 install filters for this just like the filter in
10 your automobile, but eventually depending on the
11 seriousness of this change you may have to
12 change the whole system out. Moisture can get
13 in when the system is shut down, cools off, it
14 picks up air with some moisture in it, air, you
15 do get some moisture in there that is not
16
wanted.
If that moisture is there for a period
17 of time you can get the eventual rusting,
18 creating sources of rust and when you start up
19 the system that rust is moved along with the
20
Aroclor.
I'm sure I haven't covered all
21 possibilities, but --
22 Q. How would charring of the Aroclors operating at
23 a higher temperature, how would that impact the
24 integrity of the Aroclor?
25 A. It won't impact -- by integrity you mean
TAYL0R & associates (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074437
2-76
1 changing its chemical composition or its
2 usefulness.
3 Q. Let me rephrase it. Why would one need to
4 replace the Aroclors in a certain system if that
5 Aroclor had charred? 6 A. Charring would result in a deposit of this
7 carbonaceous material at the point of high
8 temperature contact which is expected to be near
9
the source of the heat.
In other words, your
10 gas or oil flame, the jet hitting that surface,
11 that carbonaceous matter eventually will sluff
12
off and get into the stream.
That affects the
13 effectiveness of the heat transfer back at the
14 using point, not at the heating point, so you
15
find that it's a self defeating process.
You
16 raise the temperature because you can't do the
17 hot job at the working end creating more
18 charring or destruction and the system gets so
19 fouled up you have to shut it down and drain it
20 and not only drain it but with this kind of
2 1 charring you almost have to scour out the
22 innards or replace the tubing and piping that's
23 been coated too heavily.
24 Q. Sir, besides the charring effect that you have
25 just testified to, do you know of any other
TAYLQR & associates (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074438
2-77
1 manner by which a system containing Aroclor 1248
2 would change its color from, as you testified, a
3 baby oil like color to the darker brown color?
4 A. Well, this could occur if some contaminant got
5 in it.
6 Q. Well, let's assume you're dealing with a closed
7
system.
In a closed system environment where,
8 excluding the charring effect which you have
9 just testified, can you think of any other
10 manner by which the baby oil like color of
11 Aroclor 1248 would darken into a browner color?
12 A. You could have an entry into the Aroclor portion
13 of the system from the material you're cooking,
14 for example, a varnish that you're heating in a
15 big pot leaks into the jacket and blends in with
16 the material, the Aroclor that's intended to
17 heat it, so you could get that reverse flow,
18 especially with systems that go up and down,
19 you're operating or you're cooling off, so
2 0 that's what I meant by a contamination from the
2 1 process itself.
22 Q. Sir, taking another look at the document you
2 3 have in front of you, the one that begins with
24 Bates NVF 001719 and take a look at the pages I
25 would like to call your attention to NVF 1723,
_______________
(314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074439
2-78
1 to 1724, which are identified as the physical
2 properties.
3 A. I have them.
4 Q. Sir, taking a look at these physical properties,
5 can you identify for the record at what point
6 one would expect to see some charring of Aroclor
7 1248 and the point, I'm referring to the
8 temperature?
9 A. There is no specific reference to a temperature
10 that one could associate with the charring
11
effect.
The closest we can come to, from these
12 sheets is on 1724, where it talks -- where it
13 refers to distillation range, if you exceed that
14 upper range.
15 Q. Talking about the 725 degree Fahrenheit range?
16 A. If you exceed that you start entering a
17 temperature zone that could result in charring.
18 And the higher that excessive temperature
19 becomes, the faster the charring occurs, so it's
2 0 a matter not only of temperature but time at
2 1 that temperature.
22 Q. Sir, is there any evaporation effect that may
23 take place to Aroclor 1248 if it's contained in
24 a closed system?
25 A. Depends on the temperature.
______________
(314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074440
2-79
1 Q. How does it depend on the temperature, sir?
2 A. If you reach these temperatures of 725 we talked
3 about, you would have a stream of vapors pouring
4 out of there, and that's a form of evaporation.
5 Q. But there is an evaporation loss associated with
6 the use of Aroclor, is there not?
7 A. At room temperature just sitting in the barrel?
8 Q. Let's talk about something higher than room
9 temperature.
10 A. Yes, there is a loss if the system isn't
11 perfectly sealed.
12 Q. In a perfectly sealed system there should be no
13 loss of Aroclors unless you exceed the
14 temperatures we've been talking about so far of
15 700 degrees or so?
16 A. You can lose vapors at the lower range of these
17 temperatures.
18 Q. How would you do that in a closed system?
19 A. If it isn't vented properly so it breathes, if
20 there is no cooling system to condense those
2 1 vapors, bring them back down into the tank,
22
those vapors can escape the system.
So it's a
23 matter of design.
24 Q. Sir, did Monsanto recommend to its customers
25 that those customers perform some type of
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074441
2-80
1 periodic checkup of the heat transfer systems?
2 A. Yes.
3 Q. Why would Monsanto make that recommendation if
4 you were dealing with a closed system?
5 A. It just falls into the category of a well run
6 unit. And you asked me why Monsanto would be
7 interested, they're interested in, I'm going to
8 call them a satisfied customer, and if the
9 customer's system isn't designed in a way that
10 gives them the expected good service, he may
11 stop using Monsanto's product and go to the
12
competition.
So that's all part of the total
13 picture.
14 Q. During these periodic checkups, would the actual
15 color of the 1248 Aroclor be an indication that
16 the Aroclor should be changed?
17 A. It depends on the density of that color and the
18
time in use.
If it starts turning yellowish the
19 second week in operation, you got a serious
20
problem.
But if it's kind of amber colored 10
21
years in service, that's good service.
So a
2 2 judgment call is required here.
23 Q. Sir, during these periodic checkup
24 recommendations, did Monsanto also recommend to
25 its customers they check the viscosity of the
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074442
2-81
1 Aroclors?
2 A. Occasionally, yes.
3 Q. Why would that need to be checked?
4 A. That characteristic is another good indicator.
5 Color is one of them and viscosity, if it starts
6 to change, that indicates that you're doing
7 something to that system that is not really
8
proper.
For example, your viscosity may go up
9 because you're losing the lighter vapors leaving
10 the heavy vapors behind, and if that continues
11 you're going to end up with molasses in January
12 in your system and you wouldn't be able to pump
13 anything, especially when it's allowed to cool
14 down and you try to start it up again.
15 Q. So viscosity essentially refers to the thickness
16 of the fluid?
17 A. The fluidity.
18 Q. Fair enough. Monsanto -- strike that. Would
19 Monsanto ever offer to check the viscosity of
2 0 Aroclor fluids as a service it would provide its
2 1 customers?
22 A. Offers were made on a case by case basis. It
2 3 was not a blanket kind of advertised service.
24 Q. Let me see if I can refresh your memory, sir.
25 Do you have in front of you NVF 001758?
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074443
2-82
1 A. Yes.
2 Q. Please turn to the page Bates numbered NVF
3 001779.
4 A. I have it.
5 Q. Taking a look at the very last sentence that
6 appears on -- strike that -- the very last
7 paragraph -- taking the last paragraph that
8 appears in the far right-hand column, see where
9 it says, customers can have their fluid tested
10 by Monsanto free of charge?
11 A. Yes.
12 Q. Does that refresh your memory as to whether
13 Monsanto provided that service to its customers?
14 A. I didn't say it didn't provide it.
15 Q. Let me phrase that as to whether Monsanto
16 offered to its customers to provide that service
17 free of charge?
18 A. Yes, in fact we would supply sample bottles for
19 them.
20 Q. Do you know whether Monsanto ever kept a record
2 1 of the lab tests it did on customers' Aroclor?
22 A. All samples that were tested were recorded.
23
Records were kept.
I don't know how long they
24 kept them.
25 Q. That was going to be my next question. Sir,
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074444
2-83
1 turning to the same page, left-hand column, at
2 the very bottom says, precautions in cold
3
weather.
Do you see that, sir?
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. Why was it that this particular general
6 recommendation was being made to Monsanto
7 customers?
8 A. Primarily because of the fluidity of the PCBs at
9 these low temperatures, 50 degrees and lower,
10 they just don't pump as well and your pump may
11 be working but the fluid isn't moving as rapidly
12 as it should, and as it goes through the now
13 heated chamber, it could get charred the way we
14 spoke about earlier and damaged, so you get a
15 better service if your fluid flows through
16 freely and this is why they recommended keep it
17 warm so it doesn't get so viscous that only the
18 inner part of the stream is flowing and the
19 outer part is up against that hot steel surface.
20 Q. So I understand, sir, how could the fluid inside
2 1 a closed system char faster if the system was
22 left on in an ambient temperature below 50
2 3 degrees?
24 A. Because when you turn up the heat -- you've got
25 to visualize a pipe with fluid in it, the fluid
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074445
2-84
1 along the pipe walls is not moving as fast as
2
the core.
That material on the pipe walls is
3 being exposed to this high temperature now and
4 with time, again, it's time and temperature, you
5 could damage the fluid.
6 Q. Would that damage also reflect itself in a
7 discoloration or a darkening of the fluid
8 itself?
9 A. Yes, eventually.
10 Q. Sir, during your first day of testimony, correct
11 me if I'm wrong, you testified when Monsanto
12 recognized there was an environmental problem,
13 potential environmental problem associated with
14 its Aroclors, it offered to take back the
15 Aroclors that some of its customers were using,
16 did it not?
17 A. To some of its customer yes, sir.
18 Q. And it made that offer to the customers that
19 were using Aroclors, for example, 1248?
2 0 A. Some of them, yes.
2 1 Q. Did it make it to all of its customers?
22 A. Not in my recollection, not in a blanket
23
informational type correspondence.
I don't
24 recall any such offer.
25 Q. To what customers would Monsanto make such an
TAYLQR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074446
2-85
1 offer?
2 A. That depended on the field marketing team. When
3 they had discussions it was up to the marketing 4 representative to make that suggestion or offer
5
to go back to the bosses and get approval.
That
6 kind of dialogue did take place.
7 Q. Was there a record maintained of which customers
8 were contacted and extended the offer to take
9 back the Aroclor that Monsanto sold to it?
10 A. Not to my knowledge.
11 Q. Just a few final questions, I believe, sir. You
12 testified that the environmental problems that
13 Monsanto first recognized in the late '60s and
14 early '70s manifested themselves because PCBs
15 were found in areas where you would not expect
16 to find PCBs?
17
MR. KLINE:
Object to
18 characterization.
19 A . I did.
20 Q. Was there ever a time when Monsanto did not
2 1 expect to find PCBs in a situation where PCBs
22 were being discharged into a stream?
2 3 A. No, they expected in those situations where the
24 PCBs were allowed to enter a stream they would
25
be found near that source.
That was no
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074447
2-86
1 surprise.
2 Q. So the surprise was when PCBs were found in
3 situations where one would never anticipate PCBs
4 to be found?
5 A. Correct.
6 Q. But in a situation where PCBs were being
7 discharged into a stream, Monsanto would
8 anticipate finding PCBs?
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. Assuming, sir, once Monsanto realized that the
11 PCBs were a potential environmental hazard, how
12 would Monsanto eliminate the PCBs, how would
13 they be destroyed or remediated?
14 A. Remediation?
15 Q . Sure.
16 A. That varied so much from situation to situation,
17 it depended really on ease of access,
18 distribution, the local condition had a lot to
19 do with retrieving that PCBs, putting it in a
20
safer place.
I don't know we ever had a
21 standard remediation program.
22 Q. Well, I believe you testified during your first
2 3 day, sir, that one thing you were recommending
24 once Monsanto realized there was environmental
25 concern out there was that its customers no
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074448
2-87
1 longer hose these PCBs down the sewer?
2 A. Correct.
3 Q. That is because the sanitary sewer system could
4 not remediate the PCBs?
5 A. That's one reason.
6 Q. What would be the other reasons?
7 A. Some of these sewer systems didn't go through a
8 sanitary system and they ended up in public
9 waterways and places where industrial chemicals,
10 including the PCBs, all industrial chemicals are
11 not perceived by Monsanto to be -- they
12 shouldn't be there.
13 Q. Redirecting a discharge of PCBs from going into
14 a storm sewer that immediately went into the
15 environment to going into a sanitary sewer
16 system, would that have alleviated Monsanto's
17 environmental concerns about the PCBs?
18 A. No, sir.
19
MR. LOHMAR:
That's all.

2 3 QUESTIONS BY MS. DOUGHERTY:
24 Q. Mr. Papageorge, my name is Ann Dougherty
25 representing Liberty Mutual Insurance Company,
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074449
2-88
1
one of the defendants in this case.
I would
2 like to follow up on something Mr. Lohmar just
3 asked you about and that was the discharge of
4
PCBs to waterways and streams.
There is a
5 portion of exhibit, Exhibit No. 3, which is
6
Bates numbered NVF 39 and NVF 40.
If you could
7 take a look at this document, and specifically
8 on the first paragraph read the first paragraph
9 on the second page.
10 A. I recall that paragraph.
11 Q. Okay. The last sentence in that paragraph
12
says:
"As mentioned in the article," referring
13 to an October 29, 1969, article, "good
14 manufacturing practice in the future may require
15 that no products used by any company be lost or
16 discharged in such a manner as to ultimately be
17 found in waterways." Do you see that?
18 A. I do.
19 Q. I just wanted to see if you can tell us if that
2 0 was your understanding as of 1969, this letter
2 1 is dated February 19, 1970, if that was also
22 your understanding at that time?
23 A. Yes.
24 Q. Did you have an understanding prior to 1970 or
25 1969 that it was also not good business
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074450
2-89
1 practice, good manufacturing practice to have
2 PCBs discharged into waterways?
3 A. Well, when you restrict it to PCBs I find it
4
hard to answer.
First of all, we never talked
5 about PCBs, these were Aroclors at Monsanto; and
6 secondly, it wasn't -- in our thinking, it was
7 all industrial chemicals, not any specific type.
8 Q. Can you assign a date prior to 1969 when
9 Monsanto Company would have this feeling or
10 understanding about the products?
11 A. I can only share with you I joined Monsanto in
12 1951 and that was the orientation I got when I
13 joined it, so I don't know when it really began.
14 Q. And I think you've already -- I have no more
15
questions.
Thank you.

17 EXAMINATION
18 QUESTIONS BY MR. HILBER:
19 Q. I have a very few. For the record, my name is
20
A1 Hilber.
I'm with the firm of Mendes & Mount
2 1 and we're representing, for ease of reference,
22 London Market Insurers which is the underwriter
23
of Lloyds and other market companies.
And I
24
just have a few questions.
One of them was with
2 5 regards to the customer lists, I know you've
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074451
2-90
1 testified somewhat ad nauseam, but I am just 2 making sure I'm clear. When a customer would
3 purchase products, they would be placed on the
4 customer list for that product?
5 A. Correct.
6 Q. And periodically and depending on the product
7 and the person, I guess, in charge of that
8 product, those lists would be updated or checked
9 to make sure that they had a concise group of
10 individual customers?
11 A. Correct.
12 Q. When they were updated, was it the practice to
13 also keep the old list or was it at that point
14 generally the practice to discard the old list?
15 A. The practice was to discard the old list so
16 there would be no confusion in future
17 correspondence.
18 Q. So as a result of that it becomes very difficult
19 to know what list existed in what particular
2 0 years?
2 1 A. That is correct.
22 Q. I may be touching on a topic you already
23
covered.
Pydraul F-9, does that contain PCBs?
24 A. Yes, sir.
2 5 Q. And the Pydraul, as I understood your testimony,
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074452
2-91
1 was never sold through intermediaries?
2 A. Not to my recollection.
3 Q. So when you sent, or when Monsanto sent out 4 materials concerning, I guess, some of the
5 environmental concerns that had been raised with
6 regard to PCBs in certain of their products,
7 that would have gone to the customers that
8 purchased Pydraul?
9 A. Within the past three to five years back.
10 Q. And it could have been further back depending on
11 how recently the list has been updated; correct?
12 A. Based on the judgment of the individual
13 responsible for that list, he may include a
14 customer who hadn't purchased any Pydraul for a
15 while based on his knowledge of the system and
16 the reason for the lack of purchases, so
17 sometimes they would retain a customer who
18 hadn't bought anything for five years and other
19
times the customer's name would disappear.
But
20 for the three-year period it's definite.
21 Q. With respect to two different -- I know there is
22 a number of questions, specifically Aroclor 1248
23 and 1254, just to speed this up, correct me if
24 I'm wrong, the main difference there is what's
25 indicated by the numbers is there is a greater
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074453
2-92
1 percentage of chlorine in the 1254 than there is
2 in the 1248?
3 A. That is correct. 4 Q. But these are still very similar materials in
5 terms of chemical composition and makeup?
6 A. Yes, similar in that they belong to the same
7 chemical family but the 1254 mixture had PCBs in
8 it that had more chlorines attached to the
9 carbons than the 1248 mixture did, although
10
there was some overlap.
As you look at that
11 wave that the instrument produces, the 1254
12 would have the peaks and valleys more to the
13 higher chlorinated than the 48, but in the
14 middle there was an overlap of the two.
15 Q. Correct me if I'm wrong, you're talking about
16 the graphs and those are the spectrophotometric,
17 the analysis equipment?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. So they're very similar to one another in terms
20 of -- in other words, you put a sample in one of
21 those instruments and try and detect what
22 chemical is present in that material, the
2 3 readings for 1248 and 1254 will be very similar?
24 A. Well, similar in some respects, yet there is a
25
difference.
So the analyst will make a judgment
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074454
2-93
1 call as to what he's going to call that 2 analytical result, is he going to say it's 3 Aroclor 1248 or is it Aroclor 1254? And two 4 chemists working at the same laboratory could 5 come up with two different answers in terms of 6 which of the Aroclors is it because it's fuzzy, 7 it's not a real perfect virgin print, so to 8 speak; it'sbeenaltered. 9 Q. That's what I wanted to follow up on. And that 10 was my understanding as well, because one has a 11 detect for 1254, there isn't a complete 12 certainty as to whether it is 1254, it may 13 actually be 1248 or vice versa? 14 A. It may have started out as Aroclor 1248 and 15 deteriorated or changed in the environment so 16 now the analyst sees something that looks more 17 like 54 than it did 48. 18 Q. As I understood your testimony earlier today, 19 generally that's how it would go would be from a 2 0 lower chlorine percentage to a higher one and 2 1 not from a higher to a lower? 22 A. That is correct. 2 3 Q. In terms of the properties, you touched upon 24 ... that, two questions to look for there. . 54 is. 25 less viscous than 48?
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074455
2-94
1 A. It's the other way around. The higher the
2 chlorine the more viscous the material.
3 Q. I said it backwards. I actually meant that. Do
4 you know of instances where the two materials
5 were both utilized within a heat transfer-
6 system?
7
MR. DAVIDSON:
At the same time?
8 Q. Yeah, in other words, maybe to clear my
9 question, perhaps for a while the system has
10 been utilizing 1248 and in a subsequent shipment
11 or some drums came of 54, not necessarily total
12 discharging or emptying the system but adding
13 five gallons, whatever?
14 A. Topping off so to speak?
15 Q. Exactly?
16 A. That can happen. There was a heat transfer
17 product Monsanto sold that was a blend of two of
18
them and my memory is a little bit hazy.
One of
19 the Therminols was a blend but I've forgotten
20 which of the Aroclors were blended in what
2 1 ratios, how much of each.
22 Q. Last question: In other words, the system can
23 operate, to your knowledge, a heat transfer
24
system potentially with both materials.
It's
25 not like, I realize some of the operating
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074456
2-95
1 properties may be a little bit off the specs
2 that Monsanto sent, but you could run a system
3 on having some 1248 in it and also some 1254?
4 A. Some systems would function okay, yes.
5 MR. HILBER: No further questions.

8 QUESTIONS BY MR. KLINE:
9 Q. Mr. Papageorge, my name is Paul Kline. I
10 represent NVF Company in this case and as you
11
know, I'm the caboose.
I will be the last
12 person asking you questions in this phase of
13 your deposition and as I understand it there
14 will be a video deposition sometime after that.
15 Let's begin with just some general questions
16
regarding uses of Aroclors by industry.
Now,
17 let's talk about plasticizer uses.
18 A. All right.
19 Q. First of all, when did Monsanto first begin
20 marketing Aroclors for use as plasticizers?
21 A. I don't know the exact date, but it had to be
22 after World War II, so it's the late '40s, early
23 ' 50s .
24 Q. And did those Aroclors that were marketed for
25 use as plasticizers contain PCBs at that time?
_______________
(314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074457
2-96
1 A. Yes. 2 Q. Now, I'm going to ask you about a specific use
3 and let's see if you've ever heard of the
4
plasticizer use in the capacity.
Have you ever
5 heard of mixing Aroclors with phenolic resins to
6 make circuit boards or any laminates, for that
7 matter?
8 A. I've heard of that use, yes.
9 Q. Have you heard of that use beyond anybody other
10 than NVF -- NVF's use?
11 A. I don't know that I associate my knowledge of
12
that use with any specific user.
It's the
13 general reference to circuit boards or a
14 phenolic laminate, that broad type of
15
description.
I do not associate it with any
16 specific entity by a corporate name or anything
17 like that.
18 Q. Let's see if we can somehow quantify the amount
19
of that use that you recall.
Was that what you
20 would call a fairly substantial use based on
21 your recollection or a very minor use?
22 A. I could share with you an impression that I have
23 and it's not based on my analysis of numbers and
24 comparing it to other materials, but it was
25 considered by Monsanto as a modest but
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074458
2-97
1 respectable amount of material. 2 Q. And you've seen the numbers of the quantities 3 sold to NVF or to American Mineral Spirits
4 Company produced in documents 1 through 38;
5 correct?
6 A . Yes, sir.
7 Q. Would you consider that usage alone a modest or
8 respectable figure for Monsanto?
9 A. I have a difficult time relating it. To
10
Monsanto, it was a very small use.
But to your
11 guy, I can't evaluate that with your NVF 12 activities in any way to express an opinion
13 about is it modest or is it -- I just don't have
14 a way to measure it.
15 Q. Let me rephrase the question. If that sales to
16 American Mineral Spirits or National Vulcanized
17 Fiber was the only use of plasticizers for
18 phenolic laminate sold by Monsanto, would
19 Monsanto consider those sales a modest but
20 respectable use?
21
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection to form.
22
MR. WARNING:
I'll object to the
2 3 extent you're asking him to speculate.
24 A. Knowing Monsanto, I would suggest that they
25 would probably drop any effort to expand that
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074459
2-98
1
business.
It wouldn't be worth the activity
2 involved.
3 Q. So it's fair to say that NVF Company's purchases
4 of plasticizer Aroclors was very small in the
5 scheme of Monsanto sales?
6 A. That is my opinion, yes, sir.
7
MR. LOHMAR:
I object to the form of
8 the question.
9 Q. Would you characterize it as minute?
10
MR. LOHMAR:
Same objection.
11 A. Now, we're getting into degrees of smallness and
12 I don't have enough concrete data to put
13 together.
14 Q. Let's then back up a little bit. Are you
15 familiar generally with the quantities of
16 Aroclors sold by Monsanto over the years? And
17 we're speaking obviously in broad generalities
18 here .
19
MR. WARNING:
Are you referring to
20 all sales by Monsanto to all customers?
21
MR. KLINE:
Correct.
22 A. Yes, sir, I'm familiar, 70 million pounds a
23
year.
So when we talk 23,000 pounds, it's a
24 small amount.
25 Q. Of that 70 million pounds, could you very
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074460
2-99
1 roughly estimate what percentage of that would
2 be plasticizer use sales?
3
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
4 A. Roughly estimate, I would say half of it.
5 Q. Would it be fair to say that roughly 50 percent
6 of Monsanto's Aroclor business was the
7 plasticizer sales?
8 A . Yes, sir.
9 Q. We've talked about a variety of Aroclors. I
10 think we've mentioned 1242, 1248, 1254, 1260,
11 1268, 5460, 6062, and possibly Aroclors being
12 mixed with other substances such as Pydraul
13
F-9.
Is there any reason to think that any of
14 those Aroclors that I just mentioned would be
15 incompatible with a plasticizer use with
16 phenolic laminate which we had just been talking
17 about?
18 A. Incompatible. Well, this compatibility really
19
depends on the end results you're seeking.
In
20 some cases you may not want a property that the
2 1 PCB would offer or end up with whereas in
22 another application that's exactly what I
23
wanted.
So I really can't answer that unless I
24 know specifically how much of the PCBs, which
25 one into what and what's the end result being
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074461
2-100
1 sought. 2 Q. Well, fair enough. Let me try to be a little
3
more specific.
Your first day of testimony I
4 believe you indicated that it would be
5 incompatible to put Aroclor 1260 as a heat
6
transfer fluid because it's a solid.
Was that
7 your testimony?
8 A. I believe I said Aroclor 1268 which is, it's a
9 solid material and it was sold and looked like
10 coarse table salt.
11 Q. And so it would be fair to say that would be
12 incompatible with a heat transfer fluid
13 application?
14 A. Correct.
15 Q. And that's the incompatibility that I'm trying
16 to get to when I ask you whether any of the
17 Aroclors that I had mentioned earlier would have
18 been incompatible with a phenolic laminate
19 plasticizer use.
20 MR. WARNING: At this point I'm going
2 1 to object to your line of questioning as not
22 having a proper foundation.
23 A. Well, it's my understanding that with phenolics
24 any of the PCBs can be eventually blended and
25 incorporated. We use the example of the solid
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074462
2-101
1
Aroclor 1268.
That can be heated to the point
2 where it becomes a liquid and incorporated in a
3 product which when it cools down, solidifies and
4 you've got the property you sought whether it be
5
fire resistance or what have you.
So in the
6 plasticize application it's much more complex
7 than the heat transfer where you're pumping a
8 liquid, circulating just like the coolant in
9 your automobile.
10 Q. Let me follow up then and ask you a further
11
question.
Is there anything that you're
12 familiar with with the properties of the PCB
13 Aroclors that I had mentioned by isomer
14 previously that would cause them to react with
15 phenol in such a way as to create a
16 manufacturing incompatibility?
17 A. I'm not aware of any chemical reaction that
18 would occur under those conditions.
19 Q. The isomers of Aroclors that I had listed, do
20 you know whether each of those particular
2 1 isomers were used as a plasticizer by any
22 customers of Monsanto?
23 A. Can you help me with your use of the isomers?
24 Isomers means a group of products, all of them
25 having the same chemical content but a different
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074463
2-102
1 configuration, like you can have a
2 monochlorobiphenyl, you can have ten of those.
3 So when you say isomers that's what that
4
describes.
I think what you're talking about is
5 commercial mixtures of various isomers with
6 three and four.
7
MR. LOHMAR:
Different types of
8 Aroclor.
9 Q. I stand corrected because you've worked with
10 this more closely than myself. Are there
11 different isomers of Aroclor 1248?
12 A. Aroclor 1248 is in itself a mixture; it is not a
13
pure chemical.
It contains many
14 monochlorobiphenyls, several dichloros, many
15 trichloros, tetrachloros, pentachloros, on up
16 and they're present in a really consistent
17 pattern when it's manufactured and all of those
18 chlorines that are arranged with carbon in these
19 mono, di, and tri configurations add up to 40
20
percent of the total mass.
I don't know how
2 1 else to describe it.
2 2 Q. I appreciate your explanation, and now I'm going
23 to ask you to help me find a better term for
24 what I'm asking.
25
MR. LOHMAR:
Perhaps I could help.
I
TAYL0R & associates (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074464
2-103
1 think you're referring to Aroclors by that name
2 as opposed to types of Aroclor and isomers of
3
Aroclors.
If you ask the question using the
4 term Aroclor, I think you'll get the answer
5 you're seeking.
6 Q. How should I refer to the different numbered
7 Aroclors? Are they different types of Aroclors,
8 different mixtures of Aroclors?
9 A. The Aroclor designation Monsanto used to
10 describe PCB mixtures always had the one-two
11 designation followed by another two digits which
12 represented the amount of total chlorine
13
present.
So when you say 1248, that's one-two
14 is a PCB, because there were other Aroclors that
15 Monsanto had that were not PCBs, and the 48 says
16 48 percent of that material by weight when you
17
weigh it is chlorine.
Now in that mixture the
18 chlorine is tied to the carbons over a spectrum
19 of one to about six chlorines per PCB molecule.
20
It can have one or it can have six.
That one
2 1 can fit on any of ten positions, some of which
22
are mirror image.
It's getting too complex, I
23
think.
But anyway, the best way to describe
24 these is to do what the world has really done,
25 refer to them as Aroclor by a number.

WATER PCB-SD0000074465
2-104
1 Q. And that's exactly what I'll do. So let me
2 rephrase my question by taking the word "isomer"
3 out and just say, is there any reason -- scratch
4
that.
Do you know whether the different number
5 Aroclors that I had listed at the beginning of
6 this question were used as plasticizers?
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. Were each of those used as plasticizers?
9 A. All of the -
10
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
11 A. All of the Aroclors Monsanto made that were PCBs
12 found some use as plasticizers somewhere.
13 Q. Before we move onto another topic, let's talk
14 generally again what were some of the bigger
15 plasticizer uses of Aroclors that you're aware
16 of .
17
MR. WARNING:
Object to the use of
18 the word "bigger."
19 Q. More substantial purchases of Aroclors for use
2 0 as plasticizers, what applications did they
21 have?
22 A. I don't pretend to recall the numbers; I'm left
23
with impressions.
The big use, as an additive
24
to chlorinated rubber.
It was an additive to -
25 they were an additive to adhesives, some
_______________

2-105
1 adhesives that were active at room temperature
2 and some that had to be heated, the hot melt
3
adhesives.
Some of the Aroclors were used in
4
inks, printing inks, colored inks.
There was a
5 use in paints, predominantly the traffic lane
6 paints that we used to see, the white and yellow
7
paint on the highways.
A very large use was in
8
the carbonless copy paper.
It's a part of the
9 fluid, I think, inside the capsule that was
10
ruptured as you wrote across the page.
It was
11 used as an ingredient in sealants and caulking,
12 the caulking around the skyscrapers of the
13 world, the World Center towers and all where the
14 PCB would add this property of never drying out, 15 but staying flexible and waterproof and so on,
16
so that's a big use.
I'm sure I missed
17 something.
18 Q. I would expect you would have.
19 A. But these are kinds of examples.
20 Q. From the top of your head. Okay. Are any of
21 those uses, and I could go through them because
22 I did list them, what you would consider easy
23 entry uses as you used that term during the
24 first day of your testimony, easy entry into the
25 environment? The first one you mentioned was
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074467
2-106
1 additive to chlorinated rubber?
2 A. Yes, all of the uses we just described in which
3 Monsanto used the word "plasticizer use," which
4 really meant miscellaneous, in other words, the
5 PCB was used in another ingredient, were
6 perceived to be the type that the minute they're
7 used they're out there in the environment.
8 There is nothing to prevent them from escaping
9 if they're damaged or removed or disposed of.
10 Q. Now, let's switch gears to electrical
11 transformers and the use of Aroclors in
12
electrical transformers.
Did Monsanto begin
13 marketing Aroclors for use in electrical
14 transformers approximately the same time as the
15 use as plasticizers which would be the late
16 1940s, early 1950s?
17 A. The use of PCBs as transformer fluids was
18 started in 1929 by the Swan Chemical Company
19
which was purchased by Monsanto.
And Monsanto
20 continued the marketing of PCBs to the customers
2 1 then that started with Swan Chemical Company.
22 Q. Which types of Aroclors were used in electrical
23 transformers?
24 A. Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254 and Aroclor 1260.
25 Q. Would Aroclors used in electrical transformers
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074468
2-107
1 periodically need to be changed?
2 A. Yes.
3 Q. First let's talk about how periodically, or
4 would it depend upon the application and the
5 equipment?
6 A. It would depend on the application as described
7 by the stress that the transformer had to 8 undergo. Was it hit by lightening often, did it
9 arc internally? In other words, its performance
10 and years of performance would affect the
11 quality of the liquid in that unit.
12 Q. Are there any other reasons that you're aware of
13 for the need to change the Aroclors in
14 electrical transformers?
15 A. There is, of course, always the problem of
16
moisture probably collecting in there.
That's
17 all that comes to mind at present.
18 Q. Electrical transformers used to power
19 manufacturing facilities, would Aroclors used in
20 those electrical transformers periodically need
2 1 to be changed?
22 A. Yes, generally.
23 Q. How often generally would that occur?
24 A. That varies so much from maybe every year to
25 every five years.

1 Q. That's all I have with electrical transformers.
2
Let's move on to heat transfer fluids.
Again,
3 when did Monsanto begin marketing heat transfer
4 fluids containing Aroclors?
5 A. Again, this is after World War II, about late
6 1940s, early 1950.
7 Q. Before I get into the specifics, can you tell me
8 generally some of the major uses of Aroclors in
9 heat transfer as heat transfer fluids?
10 A. Major uses?
11
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
You can
12 answer.
13 A. Heat transfer systems in automobile tire
14
factories.
There were so many different kinds
15 of uses I can't categorize them as a group in
16
terms of type of service.
There were so many
17 industrial applications requiring high
18 temperatures, and the owners of these systems
19 were in a position of trying to avoid having
20 licensed steam boiler operators on duty around
21 the clock which a steam system would have
22 required to get the higher temperature, so they
23 went to these PCB type heat transfer systems.
24
There were food uses.
By food uses I'm
25 referring to such things as cooking oils that
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074470
2-109
1 are used to, say, fry potato chips, fry chicken
2
and fish, those kinds of things.
I'm having a
3
hard time remembering.
There must be hundreds
4
of uses.
They just don't come to mind now.
5 Q. That's understandable. Have you ever heard of
6 the use of Aroclors as a heat transfer fluid in
7 industrial presses?
8 A. I associate PCBs with presses, but I don't
9 specifically recall the need for heat, but I
10 just don't remember.
11
Q. Well, let me try to refresh your memory.
I'll
12 give you at least one, and maybe that will
13 help. A situation where phenolic, a silicone
14 laminate is pressed, and for it to become a
15 useful product, heat must be applied during the
16 pressing operation in order to create the
17
product.
Does that -
18 A. That does. I was thinking of metal presses for
19 sheet metal, automobile fenders and the like.
20 Yes, now I do recall there are materials that
21 must be heated so that you can form them with
22 other pieces of equipment, yes.
23 Q. Now, that use of Aroclors as a heat transfer
24 fluid in industrial presses, would you consider
25 that as well a modest but respectable use?

MR. WARNING:
Objection.
You're not
2 talking about volume, vagueness.
3 A. I have a difficult time answering because I have
4
nothing to compare.
I just, the numbers I was
5 looking at in the past were -- just would refer
6 to Monsanto's heat transfer fluids of so many
7
pounds.
I don't recall any incident to try to
8 break it out as to what type of uses these were,
9 so I have no way to evaluate it.
10 Q. As far as you know, was NVF one of a number of
11 companies using Aroclors as a heat transfer
12 fluid in an industrial presses?
13 MR. LOHMAR: Objection, lack of
14 foundation.
15 A. Yes, it was.
16 Q. What would be your approximation of how many
17 users there were of Aroclors as a heat transfer
18 fluids in industrial pressing operations?
19 A. Industrial pressing, I don't know.
20 Q. Can you say more than 50?
2 1 MR. DAVIDSON: More than one?
22 A. I just don't know. Your guess is as good as
23 mine .
24 Q. Well, was there more than one?
25
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.

2-111
1 A. I would be speculating. I would say yes, 2 because that's my understanding of the business
3 of the industrial world out there, but I have no
4 other basis than that.
5 Q. Do you know whether there were design
6 consultants within the United States that were
7 solicited by various industries to design
8 Aroclor heat transfer systems for their
9 operations?
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. Did Monsanto have a relationship at all with
12 those design consultants? For example, did
13 Monsanto send those design consultants technical
14 bulletins?
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. Did Monsanto have a technical staff at its own
17 plants or offices or facilities that would be
18 able to make a recommendation as to who to speak
19 with in the -- as far as design consultants in
20 order to construct a heat transfer type system?
2 1 A. Well, Monsanto never did get into the business
22 of acting as an engineering consulting company.
23 All that Monsanto could do was describe its
24 products and what it knew about its products in
25
terms of chemical and physical properties.
And

2-112
1 it would also be willing to share with others
2 its experiences with its equipment under its
3 conditions, which may or may not help the person
4
seeking information of that kind.
If a design
5 consultant would contact Monsanto, Monsanto
6 would work closely with him in terms of
7 supplying him product literature, sharing
8 experiences, cautioning against the fact that if
9 you use this kind of material you're going to
10
get this kind of effect.
If you use the wrong
11 gasket, it's going to fail on you in a few
12 weeks, we've gone through that kind of sharing.
13 Monsanto never did, to my knowledge, publish a
14 list of recommended or approved design engineers
15 or consultants, never did go that far.
16 Q. When creating various technical bulletins such
17 as the bulletin marked 1719, was it Monsanto's
18 -- was it Monsanto's expectation that the end
19 user of that system would be the party
20 constructing that Aroclor heat transfer system
21 or was that product bulletin designed to some
22 extent for design consultants or designers?
23
That is a terrible question.
Strike it, shoot
24 it outside, let me start over.
25
MR. LOHMAR:
I won't ask for it to be

WATER PCB-SD0000074474
2-113
1 read back.
2 Q. When Monsanto was piecing together technical
3 bulletins such as document NVF No. 1719, was it
4 Monsanto's expectation that the ultimate user
5 would be using that technical bulletin directly
6 in all cases?
7 A. That's one ultimate use, yes.
8 Q. Would it also be expected that that would be
9 used by a design consultant for constructing a
10 heat transfer system?
11 A. Yes, sir.
12 Q. Did some heat transfer uses -- strike that.
13 Let's switch gears a little bit onto situations
14 where Aroclors in heat transfer systems needed
15
to be changed.
We had talked about that a
16 little earlier when Mr. Lohmar had asked you
17
some questions.
First of all, just as
18 generalities, would it be fair to say that a
19 need to change Aroclors in a system depended
2 0 upon, first of all, the particular application?
2 1 A. Well, yes. When you say particular application,
22 are you referring to the designed application or
23 to a problem with an application that wasn't
24 anticipated?
25 Q. I would be thinking more or less the difference
______________
(314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074475
2-114
1 between use for cooking potato chips versus use
2 in an industrial press, would the need to change
3 depend upon the different applications?
4 A. Not necessarily. It depends on the
5 temperatures, the design of the system, the
6 rates of circulation, types of venting that are
7 used, so it isn't the fact that you have potato
8 chips versus this press you talked about, it's
9 how is it all put together and what's expected
10 of it.
11 Q. And how it's being used?
12 A. Well, yes. Did you overheat it, for example, or
13 did you do something else that affected the
14 liquid that's circulating inside.
15 Q. Okay. Let's talk about a few different
16 situations that might affect the useful life
17 span of Aroclors in heat transfer fluid in a
18
heat transfer system.
And you let me know
19 whether you agree those particular factors might
20
affect useful life.
You indicated first
21
temperature.
Now, do you know what temperatures
22 were the maximum recommended temperatures for
23 Aroclors in a heat transfer system?
24 A. I don't remember off the top of my head now,
25
no.
But there were limits.
This is why there
_________________

2-115
1 were several types of Monsanto's Therminols
2 available depending on the temperature you
3 wished to achieve.
4 Q. What would happen when the temperature would be
5 exceeded?
6 A. The chances were good that the surface through
7 which the heat from the oil or gas flame would
8 be transferred to the fluid inside, whether it
9 be a jacket or a pipe, a coil, whatever the
10 system, if the liquid itself gets overheated,
11 that implies strongly that some of it got very
12 overheated, especially that right up against
13 that hot wall. Under those conditions, you can
14
get this charring we spoke of earlier.
It
15 carbonizes, it becomes like road tar or even
16 harder than just a tarring material, it becomes
17 gritty and cakes on that surface and cokes; it
18
forms a coke.
That's what I meant by
19
overheating.
The material is then stressed and
20 it loses some of its good properties and picks
2 1 up undesirable properties.
22 Q. Okay. Does the term dehydrohalogenate mean
2 3 anything to you?
24 A. Dehydrohalogenate?
25
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074477
2-116
1 A. I'm not familiar with that particular
2 terminology, but I think I understand what
3
they're trying to describe.
That's in essence
4 what happens when you end up with coke instead
5
of a fluid, this charring coking effect.
It's
6 lost the chlorine and hydrogen and ends up with
7 coke, black stuff on the surface. 8 Q. Would Aroclors have a boiling point?
9 A. Oh, yes. That's what the distillation range
10
is.
You boil it, condense the vapors to make
11 the product.
12 Q. Would this charring that you're talking about
13 occur before the boiling point is reached?
14 A. No, it's a temperature that exceeds its boiling
15 point.
16 Q. Now, when the boiling point is reached, the
17 Aroclors will begin to vaporize?
18 A. Correct.
19 Q. Now, in a system that has an expansion tank will
20 those vapors escape?
21
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
22 A. It depends on the design of the tank system.
23 Does it have a means of condensing those vapors
24 and returning them back into the system or is it
25 a system where it will trap the vapors until a
(314)
taylor & ASSOCIATES 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800)
280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074478
2-117
1 certain pressure is reached, and then it will
2 release them like a safety valve so you don't
3
blow up the system with too much pressure.
Once
4 that relief valve releases the vapors, they
5 escape out into the air.
6 Q. Could there be a heat transfer system designed
7 without some type of release for vapors of
8 Aroclors?
9
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
10 A. You could design it, but I wouldn't call that
11
responsible designing.
You always have to
12 provide a relief feature in the event you create
13 a lot of vapor pressure and the system can't
14 tolerate it, you've got to release it; otherwise
15 the tank will explode.
16 Q. Now, when vapors are released, do you have an
17 understanding of whether they dissipate locally
18 or whether they're carried off in the
19 environment to any distance?
20 MR. LOHMAR: Objection.
21 A. That depends an awful lot on the environment
22 this equipment is in, is it outdoors, is it
23 enclosed in a building --
24 Q. Let me interject it is outdoors -- it's
25 outdoors, the boiler mechanism is outdoors,

WATER PCB-SD0000074479

1 would Aroclors have a tendency to condense
2 locally and deposit locally or do they have a
3 tendency to migrate great distances?
4
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
5 Q. Any distances?
6
MR. LOHMAR:
Still under the same
7 objection.
8
MR. KLINE:
Doug, I'm allowed -- what
9 is the basis of your objection?
10
MR. LOHMAR:
I think you're asking
11
him to speculate.
I think you're asking very
12 broad questions about heat transfer systems as
13 opposed to asking questions about a specific
14 heat transfer system, and I think when you're
15 dealing with the dispersion of a certain vapor,
16 it's only common sense that's going to depend on
17 the amount of vapor being discharged, the length
18 of distance between the vapor discharged and the
19 ground and the volume of vapor discharge at any
20
one given time.
I object that it's overly
2 1 broad.
22
MR. WARNING:
I'll object to the use
23 of the term "locally." I'm not sure there is an
24 understanding about what that is.
25 Q. Let me rephrase the question. Do you have an
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074480
2-119
1 understanding of whether vaporized Aroclors in
2 the outdoor environment have a tendency to
3 condense locally or whether they migrate?
4 A. That depends on -
5
MR. LOHMAR:
Same objection.
6 A. That depends how much wind is blowing through
7 the facility. Assuming no wind at all, the
8 tendency for PCB vapors would be, since they're
9 heavy, to condense and descend right over the
10
unit.
But that happens so seldom, there is at
11
least some lateral movement.
The distance that
12 lateral movement will cover depends an awful lot
13 on how much vapor is up there in the air, how
14 high did it reach, and what wind currents
15 carried it and how far and fast did that wind
16 move before the droplets settled.
17 Q. One nugget in your response is actually what I
18
was getting at and let me focus on that.
You
19 indicated that Aroclors and PCBs are heavy;
20 therefore, they have a tendency to deposit
21
locally.
Is that your understanding, omitting
22 the effect of wind?
23 A. That's true.
24 Q. Now, is it your understanding that heat transfer
25 systems were at times pressurized and at times
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074481
2-120
1 unpressurized?
2 MR. LOHMAR: Objection.
3 Q. Let me rephrase the question. Are all heat
4 transfer systems pressurized according to your
5 understanding?
6
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
Talking
7 about ones using Aroclor?
8
MR. KLINE:
Yes.
9 Q. Are heat transfer systems that use Aroclors
10 pressurized systems?
11 A. They are pressurized because of the existence of
12 a pump to circulate the cooler fluid through the
13 heating unit back to the point of use, so the
14 pump is what provides the pressure.
15 Q. But when the pump is not operating, is the
16 system at atmospheric pressure?
17 A. Well, it's at a constant pressure depending how
18 tight it is and whether the atmosphere can
19 influence it.
20 Q. Do you have any understanding of the pressures
21 that are created by pumps connected to Aroclor
22 heat transfer systems?
23
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
24 A. In the case of understanding of those charts we
25 saw earlier with the friction loss depicted and
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074482
2-121
1 the rate of flow, the pump pressure and so on.
2 So I think that's a good chart to get an
3 understanding.
4 Q. Have you ever heard of artificially pressurizing
5 a heat transfer system with, say, nitrogen?
6 A. I have not.
7 Q. Have you ever heard of pressurizing a heat
8 transfer system apart from the pressure created
9 by a pump?
10 A. I have not.
11 Q. Let's assume a heat transfer system that's
12 operating well below the boiling point of the
13 Aroclors contained within, let's say 400 degrees
14
Fahrenheit.
If there was a leak in that system,
15 at a joint, or a connection, some type of pipe
16 leak, what would that leak -- how would that
17 leak manifest itself, in a liquid, a gas or
18 something else?
19
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection, call for
20 speculation.
21
MR. KLINE:
If you know.
22 A. Generally a leak in an active working heat
23 transfer system will manifest itself by, of
24 course it depends on the size of the leak, if
25 it's a little drip, you see the oil and maybe a
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074483
2-122
1
wisp of vapor off it.
If it's a stream that
2 squirts that fluid clear across the room, you're
3 going to see vapors coming off that stream and
4 liquid falling onto the floor or on the wall.
5 And as long as it's hot, you will see some
6
evidence of vapors.
Does that help?
7 Q. It does. Would the amount of vapors increase as
8 the temperature increases, therefore, if you
9 reached close to the boiling point would you
10 expect to find more vapor?
11 A. Yes.
12 MR. KLINE: Off the record.
13 (Discussion off the record)
14
MR. KLINE:
Back on the record.
15 Q. Reading through one of the technical bulletins
16 for use of Aroclors as a heat transfer fluid, I
17 noticed a recommendation of a filter at
18
temperatures above 600 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do
19 you have any understanding of why that would be?
20 A. This relates to this carbonizing we talked about
21 earlier and the presence of particulate matter
22 now in the fluid and the filter serves to remove
23 it from the fluid, just as the filter in your
24 car removes solids from the oil that's
25
circulating through your car engine.
The same

2-123
1
principle.
It's to keep the system clean so the
2 fluid performs better and does not deposit more
3 and more of this material back where the
4 transferring is taking place.
5 Q. I'm going to make an analogy that I understand
6
which is an automobile and the car filter.
I
7 know when I change my car filter in my
8 automobile, I have to drain the fluid first or I
9
will lose it all.
Is that the same case for
10 heat transfer systems?
11
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
12 A. It depends on how it's designed. Some systems
13 are designed where you can isolate the filter
14 system by shutting off and having a loop around
15 it, take out the filter, put in a new filter and
16
reopen.
So it depends really on the design.
If
17 it isn't designed to make replacement that easy,
18 you're really -- what they do is try to get as
19 much of that fluid in the holding tank and what
20 little is still left in the pipeline is drained
21
into a container.
The filter is changed and the
22 material that was collected is reintroduced into
23 the holding tank, the vent tank.

Aroclors in heat transfer fluid systems.
Let's
5 talk quickly now about -- let's discuss now how
6 water contamination or moisture, first of all,
7 how it could get into a heat transfer system if
8 you know.
9 A. Well, of course, one way is when the system is
10 shut down and cooling, you get this effect of
11 reduction in vapor volume and the system is
12 sucking in air and the air does contain some
13
moisture.
Of course, that moisture finds its
14 way into the system and depending, again, on how
15 long the system is idle and how long this
16 moisture has time to react with the steel
17 surfaces and all, you get iron rust forming
18 which can pose some problems eventually if this
19
is repeated often enough.
A little bit doesn't
20 hurt but it's possible to reach a point where it
21
does become a problem.
So that's one way
22
moisture gets into a system.
Another is a
23 situation where there is some moisture in the
24 process which is being served by this heating
25 element, and if there is a failure between the
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074486
2-125
1 metal surfaces separating the heating fluid from
2 the material being processed, moisture can enter
3
from the reverse direction.
Again, this would
4 more normally happen when the system is idle for
5 some reason whether it's being worked on or
6 whether it's not needed any longer for the rest
7 of the period. That's the only suggestions that
8 come to mind at the present.
9 Q. How is it that the moisture affects the
10 usefulness of the Aroclors?
11 A. Well, primarily because it forms this iron rust 12 that I talked about, which is a -- in small
13 quantities doesn't really introduce any serious
14
problems other than a discoloration.
But if you
15 get enough of it and if the system is a complex
16 design with sharp turns and corners, it
17 accumulates and these accumulating spots become
18 hot spots and they could cause some problems in
19 the way your unit is working. And it doesn't
2 0 perform efficiently any longer and sometimes it
2 1 requires shutting down and cleaning them out,
22 not only on the Aroclor side but also on the
23 process side.
24 Q. If Aroclors became so infiltrated by moisture as
25 to reduce the ability for a machine to reach
TAYL0R & associates (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074487
2-126
1 temperature that were necessary would you need
2 to change those Aroclors or somehow purify them?
3 A. If it's reached the point where moisture is
4 affecting the ability of the PCBs to reach the
5 desired temperature, that would indicate an
6 awful lot of moisture because a little bit of
7 moisture can be driven off. A higher level
8 could create some problems in terms of driving
9 off that moisture to get steam pressure building
10
up, really, and it does affect performance.
At
11 that point one can say open up the system and
12 just keep heating the Aroclors until they dry
13 out, which would create vapors in the
14 environment because the moisture is leaving
15
along with some PCB vapors.
Unless you have a
16 condensing system, and then the condensing
17 system could also condense the water and bring
18 it back into the system, so it defeats the
19
purpose of this drying effect.
Generally if
20 moisture does become a problem, it's best to buy
2 1 a fresh supply, drain the system entirely, dry
22
it out as much as you can.
You may need a
23 solvent between the drain and the refill, and by
24 solvent, it should be something that isn't, of
25 course, explosive but at the same time will
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074488
2-127
1 dissolve oily materials, something like maybe a
2 heavy kerosene, if carefully handled could do
3 the job. 4 Q. When you're talking about a solvent are you 5 talking about somehow flushing the system before
6 refilling the system?
7 A. I am, yes.
8 Q. Now, would it be true that the more often a
9 system is shut down, so to speak, the more
10 potential there would be for the infiltration of 11 moisture and the problems we talked about? 12 A. Yes.
13 Q. Would the fact that a boiler, and by boiler I'm 14 referring to the mechanism that heats the 15 Aroclors, would the fact that a boiler is 16 located out of doors, subject to a temperate 17 climate, temperature fluctuations from zero 18 Fahrenheit to 100 degrees Fahrenheit and the 19 fact that a system is shut on and off on a
20 regular basis, would that have any effect on the
2 1 useful life of the Aroclors?
22 A. I hear two questions; one is the fact that it's
23 located outdoors, does it affect, and the fact 24 that it's on and off does it affect. 25 Q. Right.
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074489
2-128
1 A. The fact that it's outdoors should not affect.
2
In fact, that's the preferred location.
This is
3 why you have heat transfer systems, to get the
4 source of ignition like gas and oil remote from
5 the use point so you don't have fires and
6
explosions.
The fact that it's on and off
7 frequently is very apt to cause this breathing
8 phenomenon within the system sucking in moist
9 air, creating moisture problems, or when it's
10 breathing outwards releasing PCB type vapors,
11 which is undesirable as well.
12 Q. By undesirable you mean you would lose the fluid
13 from the system and have to replace it?
14 A. That's one undesirable feature, it's an economic
15
wasteful practice.
The other one is the
16 introduction of an undesirable material in the
17 environment out the vent.
18 Q. In the 1960s was it considered undesirable to
19 have vapors from the Aroclors being released
20 into the environment?
21
MR. WARNING:
Objection, undesirable
22 by whom?
23
MR. KLINE:
I'm just using his own
24 term.
25
MR. WARNING:
I'm still wondering,
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074490
2-129
1 are you asking from Monsanto's perspective, from
2 the witness' perspective individually?
3
MR. KLINE:
From, I mean the witness
4 is here as Monsanto's designee, so I would be
5 asking him in his capacity as corporate
6 designee.
7
MR. WARNING:
You're asking as
8 Monsanto.
9 MR. KLINE: As Monsanto.
10
MR. LOHMAR:
I'm going to object.
I
11 find the term environment vague.
12 A. Monsanto always perceived the release of any
13 vapors of a chemical nature to be just not
14 desirable by high standards of industrial
15 performance really, and at that point in time it
16 was not perceived to be an environmental issue
17 based on the knowledge available at the time.
18 Q. But at the same time those systems which you
19 said optimally the boiler would be located
20 outside were designed so as to enable vapors to
2 1 escape if necessary?
22 A. If necessary, yes, sir.
2 3 Q. And it would be necessary to prevent, as you had
24 said, an explosion?
25 A. That's one reason, yes.
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074491
2-130
1 Q. Would the type of material used to construct a
2 heat transfer system, and by that I'm referring
3 to the piping in particular, would that affect
4 in any way the useful life of the liquids
5 flowing through that system?
6
MR. LOHMAR:
Could I have the
7 question read back, please?
8 (Question read.)
9 A. When you said heat transfer system, I'm assuming
10 you're using the full system from heat input to
11 use of that heat.
12 Q. You may assume that, yes.
13 A. When it comes to introducing heat into the
14 Aroclor, it really makes no difference whether
15 it's stainless steel or copper or plain old
16 steel, but over in the end use it depends on
17 what is it you're heating and does it react with
18 steel or with copper or with stainless steel.
19 So you have to make a selection of the material
20 dependent on what it will be exposed to
2 1 primarily at the heating end -- yeah, the heat
22 is used, not where the heat it inputted or
23 introduced.
24 Q. Did Aroclors need to be used soon after delivery
25 or did they have a long shelf life?
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074492
2-131
1 A. They last forever.
2 MR. LOHMAR: As well we know.
3 Q. Now, we've been talking about the heat transfer
4
system use of Aroclors.
Was that a type use
5 that Monsanto considered an easy entry use as
6 you had referred to earlier?
7 A. It was not categorized as such.
8 Q. Now, let's switch gears to air compressors. Let
9 me ask you, are you familiar with Aroclors being
10 used in air compressors at any time?
11 A. Yes, sir.
12 Q. In what way would they be used in air
13 compressors? What purpose did they serve?
14 A. It's primarily a lubricant to help the
15 compressor function smoothly without binding,
16 without overheating, and the Aroclor itself
17 would not be such that if overheating does
18
occur, it doesn't ignite.
So you have this
19 flame resistance feature that is considered to
20 be a good feature for this use.
2 1 Q. Do you know whether any particular types of
22 Aroclors were best suited for use in air
23 compressors?
24 A. As I recall, it's the 1242 and 1248.
25 Q. Let's switch gears to my last subject matter
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074493
2-132
1 concerning the industrial uses of Aroclors, and
2 that is as hydraulic fluids. Now, when we refer
3 to the use of Aroclors as hydraulic fluids, are
4 we suggesting that the Aroclors are mixed with
5 water which itself is the hydraulic fluid?
6
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
7 A. I'm not aware of any use where water and PCBs or
8
Aroclors are blended.
They don't blend.
The
9
PCBs sink to the bottom and water floats.
That
10 would not be a typical mixture.
11 Q. Let me give you an example and ask you whether
12
this would be atypical as well.
A hydraulic
13 press is operated by a water -- a pressurized
14 water hydraulic system where there is a ram
15 underneath a press which pushes the what we call
16
the platens together to press material.
Now,
17 can you think of a use of a hydraulic fluid
18 Aroclor to be mixed with that pressurized water
19 system?
20 A. I'm not aware of any reason for doing it that
2 1 way.
22 Q. Switching gears, we're going to talk about --
23 pardon?
24
MR. LOHMAR:
Or fluids as the case
25
may be.
Go on.

WATER PCB-SD0000074494
2-133
1 Q. We're going to talk a little bit about sales of
2 Aroclors. Again generally, as I had begun my
3 questioning, did the sales of Aroclors from the 4 time they were introduced till the time they
5 were discontinued in the very early 1970s, did
6 sales grow in any predictable pattern?
7
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
Are you
8 talking about any particular Aroclor or Aroclors
9 in general?
10 MR. KLINE: Aroclors in general.
11 A. Would you help me with the word "predictable"?
12 By whose predictions?
13 Q. Let me try to be clear. Just ask the first
14 question which is did the sales of Aroclors grow
15 from the time they were first introduced to the
16 time they were discontinued?
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. Now, was there a yearly percentage increase in
19 growth that was expected or reported by
20 Monsanto?
21
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
22 A. The sales of PCB type products did increase
23
yearly.
I'm not aware of what expectations
24
there might have existed through the years.
I'm
25 led to believe from all I can gather that the
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074495
2-134
1
business was a promising business.
It was not a
2 major product line, but it was a respectable
3 business that blended well with other businesses
4 Monsanto had with many of the same customers.
5 So if you sell customer A product B and he also
6
buys Aroclors, great.
So there was an
7
interaction.
But nevertheless, the sale of PCBs
8 did climb at a steady rate rather reflecting the
9
general growth in the economy of the nation.
It
10 didn't shoot up unexpectedly, it was a steady
11 gradual growth.
12 Q. Would you say that steady gradual growth
13 continued through the 1960s?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. Did sales of Aroclors taper off to any extent
16 immediately prior to Monsanto sending notice in
17 early 1970 if you know?
18 A. I don't recall any tapering off. I just don't
19 believe it did.
2 0 Q. The first notice concerning the environment that
21 you testified to, as far as I understand, was
22 the 1969 notice to big users; is that correct?
2 3 A. That was the first written formal notification.
24 Q. Would you consider NVF to be one of those big
25 customers?
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074496
2-135
1 A. No .
2 Q. Did, if you know, did sales taper off
3 immediately after that notice being sent?
4 A. No.
5 Q. By letter dated June 1, 1970, if you can picture
6 that, Monsanto stated it would discontinue the
7 manufacture and sale of PCB containing Aroclors
8 as of August 30, 1970; is that your
9 understanding?
10 A . Yes, sir.
11 Q. In that three-month window, do you know whether
12 the sales of Aroclors were affected?
13 A. The sale of the Aroclors in these immediate
14 release type applications jumped a bit, but I've
15
forgotten what percentage increase.
There was
16 an increase where the customers were, in
17 essence, stockpiling for the future so they
18
could buy some time to find replacements.
And
19 our notice in June with only two months' time,
20 didn't give them enough time to go doing any
2 1 searching or looking for alternatives so they
22 bought inventories to tide them over until they
23 could find the alternatives.
24 Q. Now, as of this date of August 30, 1970, is it
25 the case that Aroclor sales by Monsanto ceased
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074497
2-136
1 entirely at that point?
2 A. The sales to the majority of those easy release
3
uses stopped on the 30th.
There just wasn't
4
another pound shipped.
The only exception was
5 the carbonless copy paper where the makers of
6 that paper just did not have an alternative and
7
they would have had to completely shut down.
So
8 they received PCBs until they found an
9 alternative, which was about six months later.
10 Q. By letter dated December 31, 1971, Monsanto
11 stated that it would discontinue the manufacture
12 and sale of PCT containing Aroclors as of March
13 31, 1972; do you recall that?
14 A. Yes, Ido.
15 Q. Again, within that three-month window, do you
16 recall whether the volume of PCT containing
17 Aroclors was affected?
18 A. Not noticeably.
19 Q. But sales occurred at the same rate, then, as
20 prior to that notice?
2 1 A. Correct.
22 Q. Now, at the date of March 31, 1972, would that
23 be a date where the sale of PCT containing
24 Aroclors ceased entirely?
25 A. Yes.

1 Q. Now, were PCB containing Aroclors sold to the
2 government?
3 A. Yes. 4 Q. Where there any standards setting organizations
5 which used Aroclors as a standardized product
6 for a particular industrial manufacturing use?
7 A. I'm not aware of the use of the word "standard"
8 as it would apply to Aroclors in any
9 application. There were criteria established,
10 for example, by the Underwriters Laboratories,
11 Factory Mutual regarding flash points, explosion
12
limits, and the like.
But PCBs were not
13 mentioned as specifics that would meet those
14 standards.
15 Q. What's Factory Mutual?
16 A. Well, I understood this was an insurance related
17 activity running a laboratory in which they
18 conducted tests, standard tests for evaluating
19 proposed materials, equipment and the like.
20 Q. And is it your testimony that they would have
2 1 been running tests on Aroclors as well?
22 A. They did run some tests regarding Aroclors and
2 3 their fire resistance.
24 Q. Was their testing expected to be shared with the
25 insurance industry?

9 you mean by the insurance industry.
10
MR. KLINE:
I withdraw the question.
11 Q. Were PCT containing Aroclors discontinued by
12 Monsanto because they were being detected in the
13 environment or because there were alternatives
14 that didn't contain PCT?
15 A. PCTs were not detected in the environment.
16 There were alternative materials available to
17 perform reasonably well for the uses that the
18 PCTs were involved in and Monsanto decided to
19 discontinue the availability of a chlorine
20 containing hydrocarbon which the PCTs were,
21
based on their experience with the PCBs.
And
22 they decided as long as there is an alternative
23 material, let's get out of this business.

5 marked as Exhibit 3, ask you first to take a
6 look at document No. 41, 42.
7 A. I have scanned the two pages mentioned.
8 Q. That document refers to an attached letter to
9 all Aroclor customers that Monsanto was
10 intending to send around February 27; correct?
11 A. It does.

22 be attached the document that is numbered NVF 44
23 and 45?
24 A. It is.
25 Q. Now, turning to 44, the last paragraph beginning

two states:
PCBs with a chlorine content of
2 less than 54 percent have not been found in the
3 environment and appear to present no potential
4
problem to the environment.
Do you see that?
5 A. Ido.
6 Q. And yet we know that the sale of Aroclor 1248,
7 which is an Aroclor with a chlorine content of
8 less than 54 percent was discontinued in August
9 of 1970; correct?
10 A. Correct.
11 Q. Was Aroclor 1248 found in the environment prior
12 to its discontinuance or was it that an
13 alternative existed to 1248, being the PCT
14 containing Aroclors?
15 A. 1248, as of these dates we talked about, had not
16
been identified in environmental samples.
The
17 fact that there were some alternative materials
18 available for the uses that were discontinued
19 August 30 of 1970, helped lead to the decision
20 to discontinue all PCBs irrespective of whether
2 1 the analyst was seeing it in samples or not.
22 Q. Do you know when, if at all, Monsanto determined
23 that Aroclor 1248 was being found in the
24 environment?
25 A. By the end of 1970, our laboratories at Monsanto
TAYLQR & ASS0CIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074502
2-141
1 and others, the government labs and the like,
2 had found evidence of the other PCBs, including
3 1248, in samples taken near industrial sites,
4
near the possible sources.
They had also begun
5 to arrive at the understanding that what could
6 start out as a 1248 is now being seen by an
7 analytical chemist as 54 and that's what we were
8
reporting early on in the 1968, '69 period.
So
9 the inference was developing that this 1254 that
10 was being reported could well have started out
11
as these other Aroclors.
But rather than wait
12 for the definite proofs to come in, which would
13 take years, decided to stop selling to those
14 open uses to avoid any possibility that that is
15 really the source.
16 Q. I understood your testimony to say that at the
17 end of the 1970s there was knowledge being
18 gained by Monsanto that 1248 was being found in
19 the environment; is that correct?
20 A. There were a few samples taken from Monsanto
2 1 plants and a few of the other customer plants
22 that used the 1242 and 1248, and those samples
23 taken near that plant from the soil or from the
24 rain wash outs and so on from the plant site, so
25 that showed that the 42 and 48 percent materials

1 chlorine content of less than 54 percent have 2 not been found in the environment and appear to 3 present no potential problem to the environment, 4 at least at the February 19, 1970, date, it is 5 true that Aroclor 1248 was not known by Monsanto 6 to be found in the environment? 7 A. That is true. 8 Q. And is it your testimony that later in that year 9 Monsanto was becoming aware that 1248 could be 10 persistent in the environment because it could 11 have been biodegrading into 1254? 12 A. That was the understanding that was evolving 13 from the limited samples they had by the end of 14 that year, 1970. 15 Q. Was that knowledge that we just talked about 16 communicated by notice to Monsanto customers? 17 A. Not by written notice. It was relayed by the 18 marketing people in their contacts, whether it 19 be by phone and by personal visits in their 20 update of the environmental issue, that was the 2 1 major piece of information that was transmitted 22 as best I remember, October through December of 23 '70. 24 Q. Did those marketing people speak with the 25 ultimate users, even though those users

purchased through an indirect customer of
Monsanto such as American Mineral Spirits
Company?
A. The intent was that they would speak to all of
the customers assigned to them.
Now, I cannot
speak specifically for American Mineral Spirits
and its customers.
It was up to the field man
to decide with American Mineral Spirits who's
going to talk to who.
They may have divided the
workload or American Mineral Spirits may have
said, we will handle all of these and went to
it.
Q. So is it your testimony that there was an effort
by Monsanto to provide notice to the end users
that Aroclor 1248 was, in fact, also appearing
to present a potential problem to the
environment?
A. For that particular message, but it's just a
continuation of the ongoing PCB environmental
issue. As part of an update every so many
months, this type of communication would take
place.
Q. Can you say whether Monsanto would have
communicated that directly to NVF Company?
A. I cannot.

1 Q. Generally, without again going into the specific
2 applications, what -- scratch that question.
3 What products competed with Monsanto's Aroclors
4 used as heat transfer fluids, let's say in the
5 1960s if you know?
6
MR. LOHMAR:
Do you include water in
7 that characterization?
8 MR. KLINE: No.
9
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection, vague;
10 talking about what commercially available
11 products did they purchase as a substitute for
12 Aroclors?
13
MR. KLINE:
Yes.
14
MR. WARNING:
I'll object.
Again,
15 you're getting off the scope of the subpoena of
16 this deposition.
17
MR. KLINE:
I think it's certainly
18 relevant to know what alternative products were
19 available other than Aroclors for this use.
20 MR. WARNING: Again, it's not in the
21
subpoena, but let's move along.
I don't want to
22 be here forever.
23 A. Products that were used in heat transfer systems
24
were primarily of mineral oil source.
I am not
25 personally aware of any material that is fire
TAYLQR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074507
2-146
1 resistant that was sold specifically as a heat
2 transfer fluid unless, of course we excluded 3 water, so I just don't remember any material
4 that has this fire resistant characteristic that
5 competed with Monsanto's Aroclors.
6 Q. Now, prior to 1970, did Monsanto work on
7 developing a substitute for Aroclors that did
8 not contain PCBs?
9 A. No.
10 Q. Switching gears again, let's talk about sales to
11 NVF or American Mineral Spirits as an indirect
12
customer of Monsanto who supplied NVF.
We
13 looked at a series of summary sheets which was
14
marked as Exhibit 25.
I would ask you again to
15 take a look at that document.
16 A. I have it.
17 Q. Now, document 2 which is 00002?
18 A. I have it.
19 Q. Does that indicate a sale of Aroclor to NVF
20 Company?
21 A. This indicates a forecast of five, which
22 apparently was not realized during that year
23 since there is no figure as to what was the -
24 what deliveries were made each month.
25 Q. Is there any indication that there were sales of
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074508
2-147
1 product to NVF Company from 1964 through and
2 including 1969 on the documents that you have in
3 front of you, Exhibit 25?
4 MR. DAVIDSON: What years?
5
MR. KLINE:
'64 through and including
6 '69 .
7
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection, documents
8 speak for themselves.
9 A. On the document NVF 3, there is a summary for
10 the year 1964 of one of the heat transfer
11 Aroclors, zero pounds with an asterisk, and the
12 asterisk indicates that it was less than 500
13 pounds, the implication being that in that year
14 a delivery was made to an unknown location of
15 NVF of a small amount of material which would
16 imply a topping off of a system.
17 Q. Apart from the sale within the period that I
18 have given you, were there any other sales?
19 A. There are no other sales available from the
20 records.
2 1 Q. Now, you had talked a little bit about how the
22 records may not be complete.
23 A. That's right, for the years 1954 to 1977.
24 Q. Is there any reason to think that the records
25 would be incomplete after the 1963 time period
TAYL0R & ASS0CIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074509
2-148
1 owing to the fact that there was details given
2 prior to that year?
3
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
4 A. By the '60s the system in place and the
5 procedure followed was pretty well established
6
as distinguished from what existed in 1950s.
So
7 I personally believe the '60s and '70s data more
8 than I did the '50s data as reflecting more
9 accurate information.
10 Q. You testified, I believe, that based upon
11 document 2, which is part of Exhibit 25, NVF
12 Company would have shown up on a Monsanto
13 customer list; is that correct?
14 A. Based on document 2 --
15 Q. Yes.
16 A. -- it would show on a list. Yes, sir, it would
17 normally show on a list active and in use on or
18 about that time period.
19 Q. Now, for purposes of determining when NVF
2 0 Company would have been dropped from that
21 customer list due to inactivity, on what date
22 should we start counting?
23
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
24
MR. KLINE:
Basis?
25
MR. LOHMAR:
Speculation.

1
MR. KLINE:
If you know.
2
MR. LOHMAR:
Same objection.
3 A. I don't know specifically for NVF, but I can
4 share with you the practice that was normally
5
followed.
In most cases generally throughout
6 Monsanto's marketing, when they reviewed their
7 lists, and this varied from product to product
8 and from manager to manager, but when he had the
9 check on this, a review of his customer list, he
10 would certainly pick up those customers that
11 received any amount of material for the three
12 years prior to the review date, three full
13
years.
And then he would make every effort to
14 add to that list those who did not purchase but
15 they were aware through their marketing team
16 that there were still systems in use, such as
17 apartment buildings heated with PCBs that don't
18 take much attention and they hadn't purchased
19 anything because they didn't need anything, but
20 the stuff was still there, so they would include
21
that type of customer on that list.
So they
22
would pick up about two more years back.
And
2 3 then they would also pick the very exceptional,
24 the type of situation where to them it meant
25 either a very important customer or a customer
________________

WATER PCB-SD0000074511
2-150
1 they may have lost that they hoped to get back
2
again.
This was a judgment call on his part.
3 So as a minimum, to summarize, the minimum is
4 three years for sure and any other situations
5 that the manager felt were important to him and
6 his business. 7 Q. Now, for purposes of counting those three plus
8 two years, would we begin on the date reflected
9 on NVF 2 which is part of Exhibit 25 even though
10 there was no sale made on that date or would we
11 go back to the date of the last sale?
12 A. You're talking about, now, say, 1966?
13 Q. Correct.
14 A. An example is your 1966, this manager has a
15
customer list of the product 1254.
The fact
16 that NVF Wilmington purchased or didn't purchase
17 anything in 1965, brings it to the forefront in
18 terms of do we add them to our list or not and
19 based on what else he knows about Wilmington and
2 0 NVF he may or may not have NVF on his list.
2 1 Q. Is there any reason to think that NVF would be
22 on that list in February of 1970?
23
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
24
MR. WARNING:
Objection.
25 A. Is there any reason?

2 February of 1970?
3 A. I would be very surprised if they were, based on
4 this document.
5 Q. Correct.
6 A. There is other information.
7
MR. LOHMAR:
Let the record reflect
8 the witness is holding up as "this document"
9 Bates numbers one and -
10
THE WITNESS:
Bates numbers one and
11 two.
12 Q. What other documents would suggest to you that
13 NVF would have been on a customer list, let's
14 say, in February of 1970?
15 A. I'm looking at Exhibit 25, page NVF 21, for
16
example.
I see nothing here that would assure
17 me that NVF would be on a customer notification
18 list in 1970 from Monsanto direct.
19 Q. Correct, and I appreciate that clarification.
20
Let's then just switch gears for a moment.
Do
21 you recall that in the February, 1970, notice
22 Monsanto requested its indirect customers to
23 provide notice to their customers?
24 A. I do.
25 Q. The letter does not suggest to the indirect
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074513
2-152
1 customers how far back they're supposed to go in
2 their customer list; correct?
3 A. It does not.
4 Q. Do you know whether Monsanto communicated with
5 their indirect customers concerning how far back
6 they should go and whether that was as far as
7 Monsanto was going?
8 A. We shared with the distributors represented by
9 companies such as American Mineral Spirits our
10 approach and recommended strongly that they do
11
the same thing.
And we even composed, as I
12 recall, a sample letter for them.
13 Q. Do you have any knowledge of how American
14 Mineral Spirits Company conducted its own
15 search?
16 A. I have no knowledge other than I was assured it
17 was all done.
18 Q. Do you know whether they -- scratch that. By
19 stating that you were assured that it was all
20 done, is that to say that you were assured that
21 they searched their records as far back as
22 Monsanto was searching its own?
2 3 A. That was the understanding I was left with.
24 Q. So therefore, if Monsanto -- if there is no
25 reason to think NVF was on a customer list of
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074514
2-153
1 Monsanto in the 1970s, is there any reason to
2 think that they would be on a customer list of,
3 let's say, American Mineral Spirits at the same
4 time?
5
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection, calls for
6 speculation.
7
MR. WARNING:
Objection.
8
MS. SITARSKI:
Objection, lack of
9 foundation.
10
MR. LOHMAR:
Calls for speculation.
11 A. If NVF purchased anything from American Mineral
12 Spirits that contained Monsanto Aroclor in that
13 three to five-year period, I would be very
14 surprised if they didn't get some notification.
15 Q. The records we have from Monsanto indicate no
16 sales of Aroclors in the three to five-year
17 period prior to February of 1970; correct?
18
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
19
MR. WARNING:
Objection.
20 A. The records show no sales from Monsanto to NVF
21
at any of its locations.
It does not reflect
22 anything regarding Monsanto to American Mineral
23
Spirits, American Mineral Spirits to NVF.
I
24 don't have that information.
25 Q. Let's briefly talk on the subject of technical
; TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074515
2-154
1 bulletins and how Monsanto distributed those.
2 Now, did Monsanto use the customer lists or the
3 customer list, I should say, that would have
4 been generated including NVF -- let me strike
5
that question and try to rephrase it.
Where a
6 customer was purchasing its product -- strike
7 that, too. Where a user was purchasing Aroclors
8 through one of Monsanto's indirect customers,
9 such as a distributor, American Mineral Spirits,
10 would it be Monsanto's -- would it be Monsanto's
11 procedure to mail the technical bulletins
12 directly to the user bypassing the distributor
13 or would the technical bulletins go to
14 distributors?
15
MR. WARNING:
Objection, that's been
16 asked and answered, but go ahead.
17 MR. LOHMAR: Also object to the form
18
of the question.
I think you're confusing
19 direct and indirect.
20
MR. KLINE:
If you don't understand
21 the question, I'll be happy to rephrase it.
22 A. I understand the question, but if Monsanto did
23 not have the name and address of the potential
24 user, there is no way they could have sent
25
literature.
In other words, they're not even
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074516
2-155
1
aware the discussion is going on out there.
If
2 on the other hand they got a telephone call from 3 American Mineral Spirit and they said, hey, we
4 got a customer up here interested and we ran out
5 of bulletins, would you mind sending them, they
6
do that.
Or American Mineral Spirits may well
7 have said, send us a collection of those, we ran
8
out and we have to send it to our customers.
It
9
may be NVF or ABC Company and so on.
So there
10 are many possible ways in which this information
11 could get to that eventual user of Monsanto's
12 products.
13 Q. I guess my question is more, would technical
14 bulletins automatically have been sent to users
15 of Aroclors even though those users purchased
16 through indirect customers such as distributors?
17 A. If Monsanto had their name and address, they
18 would get it.
19 Q. So essentially Monsanto would be sending
20 material directly to a user even though that
2 1 user was not Monsanto's customer?
22
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection, ambiguous.
23 A. That is possible, like I said, if Monsanto had a
24 name and address that says this customer uses
25 our product Aroclor 1248, and a bulletin was

1 just printed revising the old bulletin, that
2 name and address would be on the mailing list. 3 MR. LOHMAR: Are you done with your
4 answer?
5
THE WITNESS:
Yes.
6 MR. LOHMAR: Would you please repeat
7 the question?
8 (Question read)
9
MR. LOHMAR:
I'm going to object to
10
the question.
I know I'm objecting late because
11 Mr. Papageorge did a good job of answering the
12
question.
I don't want there to be any
13
confusion.
Mr. Papageorge has testified that
14 users, if known to Monsanto, are considered
15
Monsanto's customers.
Therefore, I think your
16 phrasing of your question is somewhat
17
ambiguous.
Just to clarify, this is a situation
18 where the bill to and ship to are different and
19 Mr. Papageorge has testified again and again
20 that if the billed to and shipped to are
2 1 different, Monsanto considered them both to be
22 Monsanto customers for the purpose of these
2 3 mai1ings.
24
MR. KLINE:
Let me rephrase my
25 question.

1 Q. Without American Mineral Spirits asking Monsanto
2 to send a technical bulletin to one of the
3 American Mineral Spirits' customers, would
4 Monsanto automatically ship technical bulletins
5 to that customer of American Mineral Spirits
6 Company?
7
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
8 A. They wouldn't know that customer was out there
9
interested.
Where would they get his name and
10 address?
11 Q. If they had the name and address because, for
12 instance on Exhibit 2 -- Exhibit 25, Page 2,
13 there is an indication of NVF Company,
14 Wilmington, would that, therefore, cause
15 Monsanto automatically to ship that customer a
16 technical bulletin?
17
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection, asked and
18 answered.
19
MS. SITARSKI:
Objection, asked and
20 answered.
2 1 A. Yes, this is an example of the ship to bill to,
22 two names, two entities involved with one
23
shipment.
In order for Monsanto to be sure it's
24 communicating, it addresses both of those names
25 with a new bulletin that came out on or about

the time.
The fact that that name appears in
2 1965 does not mean that that same address and
3 name appears on a list that we're looking at in
4
1970.
It may or may not have been picked up,
5 but in the year 1965, '66, yes, they would have
6 gotten revisions of a bulletin that relates to
7 that product.
8 Q. And you said may or may not have been picked
9
up.
You previously testified that you would
10 have been surprised that Monsanto would be
11 included on that customer list in 1970?
12
MR. LOHMAR:
I believe you mean NVF
13 was included.
14 Q. Was included in on that list in 1970?
15 A. Yes, because of the amount of material involved
16 here, it would not have been perceived as a
17
major end user.
And the fact that no material
18 was shipped to them for an extended period of
19 time would reinforce the thought that this may
20 not be an appropriate piece of communication.
2 1 Q. Just so I understand your prior answer, is it
22 your testimony that Monsanto would as a matter
23 of business practice if it had the name of an
24 indirect customer's customer, such as NVF, and
25 the address, that automatically without a
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074520
2-159
1 request by that indirect customer send technical
2 bulletins to the end user?
3
MR. WARNING:
Asked and answered
4
several times.
I don't know why you keep doing
5 this, but let's go forward.
6 A. If that shipment and recording of that
7 information occurred within this three-year 8 period I talked about, where you automatically
9 show up on a mailing list, that customer, in 10 this case NVF, would have received any notices,
11 bulletins and the like.
12 Q. So I guess now from listening to your answer, I
13 guess my question really is, for purposes of
14 sending out technical bulletins as distinguished
15 from sending out notices in the early 1970s of
16 PCB contamination or problems with the
17 environment, was the same process used to
18 determine who to ship the material to?
19
MR. WARNING:
Objection, asked and
20 answered.
2 1 A. Ship the material --
22 Q. Ship the notification or technical bulletin to?
2 3 A. The same process was followed.
24 Q. By looking at 2, one more time which is part of
25 Exhibit 25, by virtue of the entry of NVF

WATER PCB-SD0000074521

2 that that company's mailing address was also
3 known and on record at Monsanto?
4 A. At this point in time?
5 Q. At this point in time?
6 A. Yes.
7 Q. So that was just dropped off on this print?
8 MR. LOHMAR: What was dropped off?
9 MR. KLINE: The address.
10
MR. LOHMAR:
Talking about the street
11 address?
12 MR. KLINE: Uh-huh.
13 A. None of them have the specific mailing address.
14 They have a reference and then they have, I
15 think it's an Addressograph code of some sort,
16 the old time recording system where they could
17 go to that number and find the mailing address.
18 Q. Let's talk a little bit more about technical
19 bulletins and which technical bulletins would be
20 sent to which direct customers, indirect
21
customers, end users.
Was a conscious effort
22 made on the part of Monsanto to send those
23 technical bulletins that were relevant to the
24 use to which the Aroclors were being put by the
25 direct customer, indirect customer, or user?

2 2 and literature of all kinds on the products
23 based on the use of the products, as I recall
24 the question.
25 Q. Correct.
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO

2-163
1 A. Technical bulletins are initially issued to a 2 known customer, either a direct one or indirect 3 one, known to Monsanto when the interest is
4 exhibited in that product and make certain when
5 they get their first shipment they already have 6 the information in hand. When the information
7 bulletins, product brochures, whatever you want 8 to call them are revised, the latest mailing
9 address is consulted in terms of what product
10
was shipped.
So it's product oriented more than
11
use oriented.
Now, if there is a bulletin
12 describing use of Aroclors, and many Aroclors
13 are listed, all of the customers of all of those
14 Aroclors get that copy whether they're
15 interested in the full document or just a
16
paragraph in it.
That's handled that way.
For
17 those situations where we do not know where that
18 shipment went because it went through companies
19 like American Mineral Spirits, we have to rely
20
on American Mineral Spirits.
There is no other
21
way we would know.
And many times American
22 Mineral Spirits would not share that information
23 with us because they don't want to lose that
24
customer.
I think that's the real world, so we
25 have to rely on them. And as I understood it,
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074525
2-164
1 the product when it's received by American
2
Mineral Spirits is his product.
Ownership
3 changes FOB Monsanto shipping dock, as I recall,
4 so it's his product and we try to select
5 distributors that are responsible people and
6
understand these things.
And when we issued
7 guidance to them, they in every case that we
8
know of, listened to it, they abided by it.
So
9 we did try as best we could to supply the known
10 users of Monsanto's products with the
11 information, with the new information.
12 Q. Information relating to the products that they
13 used or the applications to which they put them?
14 A. Whatever was appropriate.
15 Q. Now, if you recall from the first day of
16 testimony there were several notices in the '70s
17 sent out by different groups or divisions at
18 Monsanto; is that correct?
19 A. That is correct.
20 Q. Would it be fair to say that likewise those
2 1 notices would have been intended to be sent to
22 the customers or users that were using the
23 particular product related to that group or
24 division or applying a product in a way related
25 to that division's work?
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074526
2-165
1 A. Eventually, the end user, the person who has the
2 material on his site or in his product, would
3 get the information.
4 Q. Is there any reason to think that Monsanto -
5 that NVF or American Mineral Spirits Company,
6
let's talk about NVF.
Is there any reason to
7 think that assuming that NVF received a
8 notification directly from Monsanto, that they
9 would have received a notification relating to
10 any use other than plasticizer use?
11 MR. LOHMAR: Objection.
12 A. You said assuming they received?
13 Q. Maybe it would be easier if I used a document.
14 Is that question confusing to you?
15
MR. LOHMAR:
I think it's confusing.
16 I thought all the letters Mr. Papageorge was
17 shown the first day were created to address
18 certain users of certain products based on the
19 type of Aroclor that that person had been
2 0 shipped, and not the use to which that person
21
used that Aroclor.
In other words, it wasn't as
22 though they shipped it to plasticizers and then
23 they shipped it to paint people, et cetera, they
24
shipped it to 1248 and 1254, etc.
That was my
25 understanding, so I think the question is
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074527
2-166
1 confusing.
2 Q. Let me ask it this way. Do you have any reason
3 to think that any notice other than a notice 4 from Mr. Schalk, director of sales, plasticizers
5 would have been sent to NVF Company?
6 A. I do.
7
MR. LOHMAR:
At any time?
Could I
8 hear that question back?
9 MR. KLINE: At any time?
10 A. At any time or at this point in time? You
11
mentioned Mr. Schalk.
That's early 1970s?
12 Q. Correct.
13 A. In early 1970, I don't have any information that
14 would lead me to believe that they would have
15 received a similar notification because of the
16 use of the Pydraul F-9 because they hadn't
17
purchased Pydraul F-9 since 1963.
And that
18
represents a seven-year lapse in time.
There is
19 no reason to believe that they would still have
20 been on the Pydraul F-9 mailing list.
21
MR. KLINE:
Off the record a second.
22 (Brief recess.)
23
MR. KLINE:
Back on the record.
24 Q. Mr. Papageorge, have you had a moment to look
25 over document 18, Page 114, 115, 116?
TAYL0R & associates (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074528
2-167
1 A. As well as 117.
2 Q. 117 is not necessary for my questions.
3 A. Yes, I have. 4 Q. From looking at this document can you determine
5 the use to which NVF was putting its Aroclors
6 that it had purchased?
7
MR. LOHMAR:
By this document, you're
8 referring to 114?
9
MR. KLINE:
114, 115, and 116.
10
MR. LOHMAR:
I object because I think
11 they're separate documents.
12
MR. KLINE:
I suggest that you read
13 the results portion of the memo.
14 A. By reading the limited information here, I am
15 left with an impression that the material is
16 used in one of the products to inhibit
17 flammability.
18 Q. And would that be a plasticizer use as we've
19 been using that term?
20 A. That's a very typical plasticizer use, yes.
21
MR. LOHMAR:
I'm going to object to
22 both questions on the grounds documents speak
23 for themselves.
24 Q. Who was it at Monsanto that was responsible for
25 providing notice to plasticizer users --
TAYLQR & associates (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074529
2-168
1 plasticizer Aroclor users?
2 A. Mr. Schalk.
3 Q. Now, to follow up on the prior question which
4 was do you have any reason to think that any
5 notice was received by NVF other than from Mr.
6 Schalk in the plasticizer group, you've already
7 mentioned you had no reason to think Pydraul
8
notice was received.
Is there any reason to
9 think any other notice was received?
10
MR. WARNING:
Objection.
11 A. The fact that Aroclor 1254 is mentioned in this
12 exhibit coupled with the lack of shipping data
13 from previous exhibits in the period '65 to '77
14 here, implies strongly that they were getting
15
Aroclor 1254 from someone else.
The change to
16 Aroclor 6062 was a recent change, by recent I
17 mean in nineteen -- after the discontinuation of
18 PCBs to the open end uses, and that shipment was
19 made direct from Monsanto to NVF, this is how
20 they got on the list and this is how Monsanto
2 1 field salesmen got involved.
22 Q. First of all, you said that these documents
23 imply they were getting Aroclors from someone
24
else.
Is that to say that perhaps their
25 manufacturing operation -- is that to the
______________
(314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074530
2-169
1 exclusion of the fact that perhaps their 2 manufacturing operation changed for a period and
3 they had no need for Aroclors?
4
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
5 Q. Do you know whether -- we should get an answer
6 before I ask the next question.
7 A. I'm a bit confused by the question, but the 8 reference to Aroclor 6062 being an alternative
9 for Aroclor 1254, as a flame resistant
10 ingredient in NVF's product implies that up to
11 that point where 6062 was introduced they were
12
using Aroclor 1254.
The absence of any
13 shipments from Monsanto to NVF strongly implies
14 that Aroclor 1254 was obtained from a
15 distributor of Monsanto instead of directly from
16 Monsanto's warehouse, and that Aroclor 1254 was
17 also used as the flame retardant in that same
18 product, same type of product.
19 Q. Are you saying that the sales summaries that
20 we've been looking at in Exhibit 25 are sales
2 1 not from a distributor to NVF but from Monsanto
22 directly to NVF?
23 A. Correct.
24 Q. Of the technical bulletins that you've looked at
25 during your deposition, do any of them prior to
TAYL0R & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074531
2-170
1 1970 contain any indication of an environmental 2 concern relating to the use of Aroclors?
3 A. They do not. 4 Q. Do any of them recommend a manner of disposal of
5 Aroclors?
6 A. They do not.
7 Q. Was Monsanto performing any type of 8 biodegradation testing on Aroclors at any point
9 before 1968?
10 A. No.
11 Q. And why not? 12 A. There was no known reason for asking the
13
question are they degradable or not.
This was
14 not a common test for industrial chemicals, so
15 it would not have been a routine activity.
16 There was just nothing known to raise that kind
17 of question.
18 Q. Would it be fair to say that Monsanto assumed
19 that Aroclors would biodegrade prior to 1968?
20 A. Not necessarily, because Aroclors were perceived
21 to be very stable unreactive chemicals and as a
22 result they were perceived to be so unreactive
23 they were, and we've used the expression many
24 times, like pebbles on the beach. Unless you
25 stub your toe on them, they don't do any harm.

WATER PCB-SD0000074532
2-171
1 They're there.
2 Q. So Monsanto had no reason to think they would
3 cause any harm in the 1960s? 4 A. That is the understanding of the time, yes.
5 Q. When we say Aroclors persist in the environment,
6 could Aroclor 1248 persist in the environment
7 for, say, 40 years?
8 A. Yes, and it depends really on the conditions to
9 which it's exposed.
10
MR. WARNING:
I want to go back to
11
your question before this last one.
I think,
12 Paul, you said Monsanto didn't know anything
13 about the -- something about -- maybe we should
14 have the court reporter read the question back,
15 something about the effects on the environment
16 in the 1960s, was that what you said?
17
MR. KLINE:
Yes.
18
MR. WARNING:
I think that
19 mischaracterizes his prior testimony by labeling
20 it the whole decade of the 1960s.
2 1 Q. Should we carve out any particular years
22 concerning Monsanto's knowledge of PCBs being at
2 3 all harmful to the environment in the '60s?
24 A. In late '68, '69 there were allegations of a
25
perceived harm.
There was more evidence of its
(314)
taylor & ASSOCIATES 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800)
280-DEPO
WATER PCB-SD0000074533
2-172
1 presence in the environment as distinguished
2
from the effect on the environment.
So even as
3 of late '69 there were some major question marks
4 regarding the effect.
5 Q. Have all those questions been answered today?
6 A. The early allegations that related to the
7 inability of the pelican to reproduce off of
8 southern California and the effect on the
9 peregrine falcon were proven within a year or
10
two to have been due to DDT, not to PCBs.
So
11 what was alleged in '68, '69 turned out not to
12 be so about late '70, early '71.
13 Q. But it got you thinking about PCBs?
14 A. It certainly got not only Monsanto but many
15 others.
16 Q. I think you made the comment earlier that it was
17 Monsanto's belief that all discharges of
18 industrial chemicals to the environment even in
19 the 1960s was something to be avoided?
20 A. Yes, I did.
2 1 Q. Are you talking, when you speak of discharge as
22 to accidental leaks as well?
23
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.
24
MR. WARNING:
Objection, overbroad,
25 accidental leaks from what?

WATER PCB-SD0000074534
2-173
1
MR. KLINE:
I just want to get a
2 sense of what he means by the term "discharge."
3 Q. Was it that every small leakage was considered
4 something by Monsanto that should be completely
5 avoided or was it the purposeful dumping that
6 was bad?
7 A. Any entry of industrial chemicals into the
8 environment whether by accident, a railroad tank
9 car accident or a burst line at the plant or the
10 hosing down of the floor should be avoided, and
11 when it happens every action should be taken to
12 minimize it, to help correct it immediately.
13 This does not mean we're going to be perfect.
14 Some of it will still get away, but the whole
15 understanding and message that we tried to
16 convey was, don't tolerate it.
17 Q. If something leaks, fix it?
18 A. Fix it or curb it or put some sawdust on the
19 floor and gather it up, put a curb around the
20 leak, put a pan under the dripping pump and so
2 1 on .
22 Q. That's not to say that the reason to avoid it
23 was because it was known that it would harm the
24 environment?
25
MR. LOHMAR:
Objection.

WATER PCB-SD0000074535

1 A. It doesn't necessarily have to be harm, it just
2 doesn't belong there in the understanding,
3 industrial chemicals don't belong out there in
4 the ditches and rivers and creeks and lakes, on
5 and on.
6 Q. But yet as you testified to earlier industrial
7 chemicals were found both at NVF -- Monsanto's
8 customers' sites and even at Monsanto's own
9 manufacturing facilities?
10 A. Correct, yes.
11 Q. So there were releases that were occurring both
12 at Monsanto and at its customers?
13 A. Everywhere, not only of PCBs but other
14
chemicals.
But that doesn't mean it was right.
15 The whole message was minimize, don't abuse.
16 Q. Do you recall the date of the material safety
17 data sheets that you looked at earlier today?
18 A. Yes, I do.
19 Q. What was that?
20 A. Early'72.
21 Q. In Exhibit 25, which includes the sales
22 summaries, could you turn to Page 21 of that
2 3 exhibit?
24 A. I have it.
25 Q. There is an indication that from 1954 to 1970,

WATER PCB-SD0000074536

2 shipped to the Kennett Square facilities?
3
MR. LOHMAR:
Object, it
4 mischaracterizes the document, mischaracterizes
5 his prior testimony, document speaks for
6
itself.
I think it's clear all the document is
7 saying -
8
MR. KLINE:
Your interpretation is
9 not necessary, Mr. Lohmar.
10
MR. LOHMAR:
It's not necessary to
11 try to confuse this witness by mischaracterizing
12
his testimony.
He has never said, nor does the
13 document say that this indicates that no
14
shipments were made.
This document speaks for
15
itself, it says no sales found.
Please do not
16 try to confuse this witness by mischaracterizing
17 documents, sir.
18
MR. KLINE:
I was not trying to
19
confuse the witness.
That was just due to the
20 fact of bad questioning.
21
MR. LOHMAR:
I'm objecting to try to
22 prevent you from giving him bad questioning at
23 3:40 in the afternoon.
24 Q. Does this document reflect that there were no
25 sales to the Kennett Square facility or no
TAYLOR & ASSOCIATES (314) 644-2191 * TOLL FREE (800) 280-DEPO

1 shipment to the Kennett Square facility, if you
2 know?
3
MR. LOHMAR:
Same objections.
4 A. This document is telling me there is no record
5 of any sales or shipments of any PCB type
6
products in the years 1954 to 1970.
That
7 doesn't say they got it, it doesn't say they
8 didn't get it. The records are not complete.
9 Q. I want to finish just by showing you two
10 documents and simply asking you whether they
11 were prepared by Monsanto in the ordinary course
12 of business, retained in Monsanto's files and
13 produced from Monsanto's files in this
14
litigation.
And those two documents begin with
15 the page 3811 and 3839; I'll mark it as Exhibit

1 questions, sir. 2 3 EXAMINATION 4 QUESTIONS BY MR. LOHMAR: 5 Q. If you recall, you have seen a document I 6 believe it's number 112, which indicates that on 7 August 13, 1970, NVF was shipped a certain 8 amount of Aroclor 1254, do you remember that 9 document, sir? If not, I can show it to you.
10 A. I think I remember it. Yes, I remember it. 11 Q. The document in front of you, have I correctly
12 recited what that document says, it shows a 13 shipment, the document 112 which is now in front 14 of you shows a shipment of Aroclor 1254 to NVF 15 on August 13, 1970; does it not? 16 A. It does. 17 Q. After August 13, 1970, would NVF have been added 18 to whatever customer lists Monsanto maintained 19 for customers of Aroclor 1254? 20 A. Yes. 2 1 Q. And would they have received any documents going 22 to any such customers regarding the effects of 23 Aroclor 1254 on the environment or any other 24 arena? 25 A. Yes.

Prior to, since as of August 13, 1970, Monsanto 8 was aware, was it not, of certain environmental 9 concerns involving PCBs entering the
10 environment? 11 A. Yes. 12 Q. So what steps would Monsanto have taken to
13 insure that NVF was similarly aware of those 14 environmental concerns prior to actually 15 shipping the shipment indicated on document NVF
16 112?
17 A. Monsanto would have relied on American Mineral 18 Spirits in this case to convey that information. 19 Q. When you say you would rely on American Spirits,
20 someone at Monsanto would actually contact
2 1 American Spirits?
22 A. Yes, in fact in some of the exhibits, as I
23 remember, there was a letter to a representative 24 from Mineral Spirits to which was attached 25 copies of the kind of information we were

Propertles as Plasticizers The Aroclor0 resins/plasticizers and their blends have an unusual combination of properties which make them extremely useful products. Their most important char acteristics are:
Low Cost Highly Compatible Chemically Stable Fire Retardant Excellent Adhesion Another very useful aspect of this product line is the fact that a continuous range of properties can be achieved by using combinations of the Aroclors and their blends. Some of the physical properties which can be controlled through product selection are shown on the following pages. Our Aroclor product line is now made up of polychlorinated terphenyls, monochlorinated biphenyl, and blends of these products. None of these materials has been shown to create any environmental problems. On the other hand, Food and Drug Administration approval has not been obtained for any of these products. Accordingly, the Aroclor plasticizers, should not be used in connection with food or food-related products, with food wrapping or food container materials. Further, Monsanto strongly recommends that the-se products not be used in any other application such as non-FDA re gulated food systems, in potable water systems, in any animal feeding systems, or in pharmaceuticals.

Key bo Nomenclature 5400 Ser i e s These products are chlorinated terphenyls. The last two digits indicate the chlorine content of the material, e.g., Aroclor^ 5460 is a chlorinated terphenyl with 60 percent chlorine. Undistilled Aroclors1^ are available and are designated by a 5000 series vs. the 5400 series. They are somewhat higher in color but otherwise have product characteristics similar to the distilled products. 6000 Series These products are blends of Aroclor 5460 and Aroclor^ .1221a biodegradable monochlorinated biphenyl. The last two digi: are an indication of the proportion of Aroclor^ 5460 in the blend, e.g., Aroclor^ 6062 has more Aroclor^ 5460 in it than does Aroclor^ 6050. Miscellaneous Blends Other product blends containing such other materials as Santicizer 140 for improved fire retardancy, or toluene/ xylene for lower viscosities will also be made available as the demand for these specialty products develops.

Toxiclty and Safe Handling
Inhalation
At ordinary temperatures, the Aroclor chlorinated poly phenyls have not presented Industrial toxicological pro blems. The hazard of potential toxic exposure varies with their volatility: the lower-chlorinated, more volatile ones present more of a potential problem from the standpoint of both inhalation and skin contact. When Aroclor plasticizers are used at elevated tempera tures, engineering controls must be applied, either by the use of closed systems or by effective local-exhaust ventilation together with general workroom exhaust.
Vapor of the liquid Aroclor plasticizers at room tempera ture should not be breathed in a confined space, and no vapor of any Aroclor evolved at elevated temperatures should be allowed to be dispersed into the general work room.
Skin Contact
Continuous or repeated skin contact with the Aroclor
'plasticizers must be avoided by the use of gloves and
.protective garments, because of the possible occurrence
of a condition called chloracne. Although reports of
this condition caused by Aroclor are rare, it can be
produced by excessive skin contact. If any Aroclor is
spilled on the skin, the skin should be washed in the
usual manner with a soap solution.
_
A burn caused by contact with a hot Aroclor should be
treated like any ordinary burn. Aroclor plasticizer
adhering to the burned area need not be removed immed
iately, unless treatment of the burn demands it, in
Which case either soap and water or repeated washings
with a vegetable oil are recommended.

On February 24, the San Francisco Chronicle carried a major feature about "a menancing new pollutant" found in the San Francisco Bay area. The article was based on marine life re search carried out by Dr. Robert Risebrough of the University of California. It stated that residues of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wore killing certain marine birds and posed a long-term threat to humans.
This story has caused considerable comment on the West Coast
and its claims may be repeated elsewhere. As you know,
Monsanto manufactures polychlorinated biphenyl and markets it
under our Aroclor trade name. We, therefore, would like to
present some additional facts.
"
The work done by Dr. Risebrough dates back to earlier research by other scientists to analyze the amount of pesticides in wildlife, soil and water. The initial pesticide research was extremely difficult since any search to detect materials in the parts-perbdllioa range also brings out other "interferring" substances.

Several year* ago, two Swedish scientists at Stockholm University's Institution of Analytical Chemistry, Professor Gunnar Widmark and Soren Jensen, reported they had identified the other substances which were appearing during analysis of chlorinated pesticide resi dues. They said some of the materials were polychlorinated biphenyls or PCB. The amount reported was in the part*-per-billion range, or less. Since PCB's are not "broadcast" or spread around the land as are pesticides, the scientists theorized that the source must be the industrial wastes of PCB users.
Dr. Risebrough's more recent work reports the identification of PCB, along with DDT and DDE pesticides, in the tissues of birds and fish on the West Coast.
The conclusioneof these scientists are puzzling from several aspects. Polychlorinated biphenyls are stable chemical compounds which are essentially insoluble in water. Their use does not make them easily released into the natural environment.
A principal market for PCB is in electrical applications where they are used as insulating fluids for transformers and capacitors. In this use, the chemical is completely sealed in metal containers. Another market is for heat transfer applications where the PCB fluid functions in a closed system.
PCB's are also used in several "plastic type" applications. Here the
chemical is incorporated into the polymer as an integral part of the
solid mate rial. This applies whether the polyme r is used as an
adhesive, an elastomer or a surface coating.
N
The Swedish and American scientists also imply that polychlorinated biphenyls are "highly toxic" chemicals. This is simply not true. The toxicity of any material, whether it be chemicals, drugs, natural plants or even foods, is relative. Compared to the thousands of industrial chemicals and home products, PCB's are not toxic unless they are mishandled or misused. During more than thirty years of U. S. production and use, cases of any toxic effect have been extremely rare -- and then only where the simple precautions recommended for
use were not followed.

To our knowledge, polychlorinated biphenyls are not sprayed or dusted on crops, woodlands or any other areas, as are pesticides. It is, therefore, not only puzzling, but extremely difficult to con ceive how commercially produced PGB can show up in wildlife as DOT and other pesticides appear to be. This raises the question whether the substance identified in the Swedish work, and now in California, is actually PCB -- or whether they are materials which, due to the metabolism of other materials in the marine environment, appears to be PCB.
Unfortunately, even though techniques for analyzing tissue samples have become quite precise, the ability to analyze the possible impact of naturally occurring substances in the food cycle of living,, organisms has not made comparable advances.
Monsanto has a research program to confirm the identity of the compounds reported to be PCB by the Swedish and California scientists. We also cooperate, on a regular basis, with federal, state and university laboratories in their analysis of chlorinated hydrocarbon residues.
Additionally, Monsanto will continue to exercise the highest degree of control in its manufacturing, shipping and storage of PCB --as we do with all products. In the functional fluids market, we have carried out a program for several years for the reclamation of used PCB's to avoid disposal of these valuable materials.
The source of the marine life residue identified as PCB is not yet known. It will take extensive research, on a worldwide basis, to confirm or deny the initial scientific conclusions. We will keep you advised of our own research and are available to answer questions as they may arise.

TOXICITY OF PYDflAUL FLUIDS
Pydraul _F-,9
Thero hna boon considerable toxicity roaoarch on Pydraul F-9, Attached la a diflcu8Blon mid interpretation of the toxioity studies. 'Hie results may bo euiwnarized in a briefer fashion ao follows:
In the caoo of oral feedings, it was fouikl that the minimum lethal doso for rats was 10.0 to 15.0 grains per kilogram of body weight. In rabbits, the oral MLD was O.57 to O.Cb grams; in both ensoa the undiluted material was introduced into the animal atomach by means of a rubber tube catheter.
Pydraul F-9 was patch tested full strength according to the method of Schwarts and Peok, which is the standard test for in dustrial chemicals. Two hundred and fiva volunteers were tested and thore was no evidence of primary skin irritation or sensi tization,
Pydraul 625
Tho Oral LD50 of 3^3 grams per kilogram when tested with rats, and the Oral Minimum Lethal Dose of 4.25 to 5,00 grams per kilo gram when tested with rabbits indicate that Pydraul 25 may be olassed as "relatively harmless" to "slightly toxio" from the standpoint of oral ingestion. Potential irritation studies with rabbits show that it la only a mild irritant to skin and eyes. In acute vapor inhalation studies, rata survived a six-hour expo sure to atmospheres saturated with vapors of the product. The above figures are lower than those obtained in studies with Pydraul ?-9, This comparison is significant since Pydraul F-9 has been used since 1949 with no reports of skin irritation or other toxic effects,
Pydraul 150
The toxicity report on Pydraul 150 indicates that it is praotioally Innocuous when fed orally to rate since the animals sur vived single doses of 20,5 grams per kilogram with loss of appetite and severe diarrhea as the only toxic effoots. The fluid apparently is not absorbed through the unbroken skin of rabbits since this species survived doses up to 9.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. In rabbit skin and eye irritation studios, Pydraul 150 was no more Irritating than a 10 soap solu tion tosted similarly. As indicated with pydraul F-9, however, Pydraul 150 will cause severe pain if there is accidental splashing in the eyes of huoans. Rats survived a six-hour exposure to an atmosphere saturated with Pydraul 150 vapors.

Pydraul A-2QQ
Our interpretation of the toxicity data obtained on this newer synthetic hydraulic fluid is tliat accidental inee3t.lon la not a particular hazard in view of tho high oral lethal doao (Oral LD,0* 10,>00 rnfydcg). similarly, single massive skin exposures should not he immediately hazardous (Slcin MU): 025 to 1,250
The lethal dooe following akin penetration is such, howevor, that prolonged and repeated akin contact should be avoided, 3uoh exposure muat also be avoided to prevent skin irritation. We also feel that vapor inhalation should be avoided when the fluid Is at elevated temperatures, such exposure again relates to prolonged or repeated exposures rather than massive or aouto exposure. In the case of the latter, worlanen would probably not voluntarily subject themselves to concentrations that are hazardous for short periods.
Pydraul AC In animal toxicity studies with Pydraul AC, the oral lethal dose in rats is approximately 40 grams per kilogram and for rabbits, 3.5 to 4,5 grams per kilogram. The greater sensitivity of rabbits is typloal of this type of fluid. This lethal dose is of ouch on order, however, that the fluid may be considered only "slightly toxic" to man from the standpoint of aooidental ingestion of single oral doses. The fluid may be absorbed through the unbroken skin of rabbits in doses resulting in death, but again the minimum lethal dose is such that accidental massive skin oxposuros to man do not presont a hazard, akin and eye irri tation studies with rabbits would classify the fluid as a mild irritant* Laboratory animals survived six-hour exposures to an atmosphere saturated with the vapors of the fluid. On the basis of-this data, it is concluded that Pydraul AC requires no special handling precautions other than avoiding prolonged or repeated skin contact, Aooidental splashing in the eyes will rosult in moderately severe pain and irritation but no permanent damage should rosult.

irritation or other toxic effects.
'
Pydraul 150
The toxicity report on Pydraul 150 indicates that it is prac tically innocuous when fed orally to rats since the animals
survived single doses of 28.5 grams per kilogram with loss of appetite and severe diarrhea as the only toxic effects. The fluid apparently is not absorbed through the unbroken skin of
rabbits since this species survived doses up to 9.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. In rabbit skin and eye'irritation
studies, Pydraul 150 waB no more irritating than a 10# soap
solution tested similarly. As indicated with Pydraul P-9, how ever;' Pydraul 150 will cause severe pain if there is accidental splashing in the eyes of humans. Rats survived a 6-hour ex posure to an atmosphere saturated with Pydraul 150 vapors.
Pydraul A-200
Our interpretation of the toxicity data obtained on this newer
synthetic hydraullo fluid is that accidental ingestion is not
a particular hazard in view of the high oral lethal dose
(Oral LDcq, 10,500 mg/kg). Similarly, single massive skin exposures should not be immediately hazardous (Skin MLD: 625 to 1,250 mg/kg). The lethal dose following skin penetration is suoh, however, that prolonged and repeated skin contact

Pydraul A-2Q0 (Cont'd,)
should be avoided. Suoh exposure must also be avoided to pre vent skin irritation. We also feel that vapor Inhalation should be avoided when the fluid is at elevated temperatures. Such exposure again relates to prolonged or repeated exposures rather than massive or aoute exposure. In the case of the latter, workmen would probably not voluntarily subject themselves to concentrations that are hazardous for short periods.
Pydraul AC
In animal toxicity studies with Pydraul AC, the oral lethal dose in rats is approximately 40 grams per kilogram and for rabbits, 3.5 to 4.5 grams per kilogram. The greater sensi tivity of rabbits is typical of this type of fluid. This lethal dose is of such an order, however, that the fluid may be considered only "slightly toxic" to man from the standpoint of accidental ingestion of single oral doses. The fluid may be absorbed through the unbroken skin of rabbits in doses resulting in death, but again the minimum lethal dose is such that accidental massive skin exposures to man do not present a ' hazard. Skin and eye irritation studies with rabbits would classify the fluid as a mild irritant. Laboratory animals survived six-hour exposures to an atmosphere saturated with the vapors of the fluid. On the basis of this data, it la concluded that Pydraul AC requires no special handling pre cautions other than avoiding prolonged or repeated skin contact. Accidental splashing in the eyes will result in moderately severe pain and irritation but no permanent damage should result.

Hydraulic power is a vital and growing factor in . our industrial pictura. Its versatility and many od[ vantages have led to its adoption by practically F every industry.
'| . Many of the applications of hydraulic power involve [ firs hazards such as open flames, molten metals and glass, sparks, etc. Since flammable petroleum fluids arc widely used in hydroulk equipment, there have been serious fires when such fluids were acddenfafly released end ignited. , PYDXAUL F-9 was developed by Monsanto Chemical Company te provide industry with a fire-resistant i hydraaik fluid which combines safety with the r operational qualities of a premium grade petroleum fluid. This combination of safety and utility plus proved performance has brought wide acceptance of PYDKAUl F-9.

[Section IV: Stability of PYORAUL P<
Pydraul F-9 is a highly stable fluid under all normal conditions of industrial hydraulic yse. It has excellent resistance to heat, water and oxygen, and is noncor
rosive to metals. Examination of Pydraul F-9 after several years of use has shown that the fluid retains its desirable properties almost indefinitely.
[thermal stability'
The fire resistance of Pydraul F-9 is inherent and is not due to the presence of water or other additives. Pydraul F-9 contains no readily volatile components, the loss of which can alter fluid composition during
use, nor does it break down under temperatures en countered in most systems. Where necessary, Pydraul F-9 can be operated for long periods of time at tem peratures as high as 300 F.
[CORROSION AND^OWDATIO^
Pydraul F-9 does not react with the various metals found in hydraulic systems nor does it allow elect rolytic corrosion. Good oxidation stability is to be expected due to the fire-resistant nature of Pydraul F-9, since burning is simply rapid oxidation.
The following tests were run according to procedures for determining corrosion and oxidation stability as
given in the Military Specification MlL-0-5606 (OUj Hydraulic, Aircraft, Petroleum Base). In this pro-, cedure, strips of copper, iron, magnesium, aluminum and cadmium plated steel are all immersed in the test fluid. The fluid is heated to 2 SO0 F. and held there for 163 hours while air is bubbled through. The fluid and metal strips are then examined for changes.

[section Vs Lubrication and pump tests
An essential characteristic of a hydraulic fluid ia the ability to properly lubricate moving parts under criti cal loading. Pydraul F-9 is outstanding in this respect, and field use has shown that in some instances it has reduced wear even below that encountered with high gTade petroleum base fluids.
Pydraul F-9 has been tested and used in moat of the hydraulic pumps commercially available. Pump manu
facturers have expressed their approval of Pydraul F-9 because its characteristics help their pumps attain maximum service life. Pydraul F-9 is even being used successfully in pumps where normally a petroleum fluid of much higher viscosity would be required.
Results of some of the laboratory and field tests on the lubricating characteristics of Pydraul F-9 follow.

[pump tests
. Vickers Vane Pump, Type V-105A
Two parallel tejts were nan using Pydraul F-9 in one pump and a standard petroleum base hydraulic fluid in the other.
During the test, the pumps were operated at ISO0 F. (5) for 16 hours a day, 5 days a week. This in terrupted operation was deemed more stringent than 24-hour operation because of the greater wear to be expected from frequent cold starts. For the first 400 hours, both pumps operated at 1200 r.p.m. at 100 p.s.i. delivering 4.76 gallons per minute. After 400 hours, the pump handling Pydraul K-9 was stepped up to 1500 p.s.i. for 126 hours; then for the next several hundred hours to 1800 r.p.m. at 1500 p.s.i. delivering 6.5 to 7.0 gallons per minute. After 800 ; hours of total operation, the pump was dismantled and the parts checked for weight loss.
After only 200 hours of operation the rotor of the pump operated on petroleum fluid showed a weight loss of 2.9 grams due to wear. The rotor with Pydraul F-9 lost no weight in the first 200 hours, and ; only 0.1 gram after 800 hours. The weight loss of ; vanes and rings with either fluid was negligible.
Vickers Platon Pump, Typo PV 2008
This pump was tested with Pydraul F-9 at 2000 p.s.i. for 1118 hours, and the pans were inspected. Pydraul F-9 was judged quite suitable for this type __ of pump.

Change-over to PYORAUL F-9
The conversion to Pydraul F-9 of equipment which has previously contained petroleum or other hydraulic fluid Is relatively simple and follows logical engineer ing practice. The steps below are given simply as a check list. Where possible, it is desirable to obtain recommended procedures from the manufacturers of the machine and pump on hand since the makers will be most familiar with the best method of handling their own equipment.
Pydraul F-9 is an excellent flushing compound in its own right: it will loosen tars, varnish and residues left by the previous fluid. Pydraul F-9 will also loosen and remove paint from the interior of the machine. These contaminants can be most easily removed from
1. Before shutting down the machine for conver sion, check the entire system while in operation for fluid leaks. Mark these for correction later.
2. Drain the previous fluid from the reservoir, lines and cylinders as completely as possible. Some' times this can be done by opening unions at low spots in the system, and in other cases blowing out with air will help.
If the previous fluid was petroleum oil it will mi* readily with Pydraul F-9. However, the more completely the oil is drained, the safer the new fluid wiU be.
3. Clean the reservoir carefully and completely. It is desirable to remove interior paint at this time if possible, and this can be done by scraping or with a commercial paint remover. When the reservoir is clean it should be wiped dry with clean rags or towels that are free from dirt or grit. Waste is likely to contain grit particles and
-tint that will lat?r damage the pump or valves.
4. If a filter is used, remove and clean or change the cartridge.
5. Check the pump assembly and replace any parts that are seriously worn.
6. As to packtnfT, either of two-courses may be followed. Many.have converted with no change in packings and then have later replaced leaking packings, if any, with resistant materials. The other method is to change part or ail of the packings to materials resistant to Pydraul F-9 at the time of conversion. Neoprene, a commonly used packing, swells in Pydraul F-9. In static or fixed packings this is no problem since the swelling usually makes a tighter seal. However, when the joint is later dis-assembled the swelled
the circulating Pydraul F-9 by a filter in the system. If there is no filter,-or if it is difficult to reach for cleaning, it may be advisable to use a portable filter which can be connected into the fluid return line. This portable filter can be left in the line for two or three days of operation and then moved to the next machine to be converted. Since it is considered good hydraulic practice to filter hydraulic fluids during normal operation, the portable filter can be used routinely, after conversion, to filter the fluids on a regular basis.
Following are the general steps (or converting a hydraulic system to Pydraul F-9.
packing usually has to be replaced with a new one. For dynamic or sliding seals, a neoprene part is more likely to fail and these moving seals should be replaced with packings made of resistant ma terials. (Most packing manufacturers-can now supply packings for use with Pydraul F-9. If the regular supplier does not have these, a list ol manufacturers is shown in Section VII.)
7. In most machines, if hose is used, it is usually of neoprene. In previous installations, this hose has apparently presented no problem. Swelling does not seem to occur nor have there been failures other than from normal wear. However, it is recommended that when hose is replaced, a hose resistant to Pydraul F-9 (Butyl lining will suf fice) should be used.
8. If a nitrogen bottle accumulator is used, no change is necessary. If a bladder type accumula tor is used, a Butyl rubber bladder should be used instead of neoprene.
9. Reconnect all lines and tighten, particularly those joints previously noted leaking. Fill with Pydraul F-9 to the proper level.
10. With the hydraulic controls on neutral, start and stop the pump several times, without allow ing the system to reach working pressure. This will provide the necessary pump lubrication. The pump may then be left on and the system brought up to working pressure.
11. Run through the cycle several times to use all parts of the hydraulic system. Bleed the air through the petcocks or valves provided from any parts in which air can collect.
12. Check the fluid level and add Pydraul F-9 if necessary.
WATER PCB-SD0000074616
About Fluid Makeup . .
The technique of holding down the makeup requirement (or Pydraut F-9 is the same as with any fluid; namely, adequate maintenance. The normal loss of Pydraui F-9 in a properly converted system will be no more than that tor a petroleum fluid, and in a great many cases it has been considerably less. With proper maintenace Pydraui F-9 losses in diecasting machines have been held to as little as a pint per 8 hour shift. If a fluid reclaiming system is added--a relatively simple matter with Pydraui F-9-- the total use of fluid can be cut even further. It is not unusual to find that where Pydraui F-9 has been installed, the daily cost of hydraulic fluid used has actually gone down.

ctlon IXs Reclaiming PYORAUL p.g
The exceptional stability of Pydraul F-9 and its re sistance to water makes possible its recovery from leaks and spills. Careful recovery can result in con siderable savings in the cost of the fluid. Therefore fluid recovery should be a definite part of the main tenance program where fluid losses are appreciable. Pydraul F-9 can be readily reclaimed by removing the usual contaminants in two steps: separation of the water, and filtration of the dirt.
Since water is not soluble in Pydraul F-9 it can be easily separated by allowing contaminated fluid to stand until two layers form -- water on top and Pydraul F-9 on the bottom. In the shop a drum can be reserved for collecting contaminated fluid. A drum with a side and end bung supported horizontally on a cradle about two feet above the floor is a simple and effective settling chamber. With the drum turned so the side bung is on top, salvaged fluid can be added through a large funnel left in the top opening. A drain valve in the end opening can then be used to periodically remove separated Pydraul F-9 for filtration. More elaborate methods using this same principle might use settling tanks with sight gauges and so on.
Another method of separating water from Pydraul F-9 involves the use of a centrifuge ("cream separator"). Suitable units are manufactured by De Laval and Sharpies Co., among others. The advantages of the centrifuge are that large volumes of fluid can be pro cessed rapidly and no settling-out period is necessary.
One caution should be noted. Oil will dissolve in Pydraul F-9 and cannot be removed. This will not harm the Pydraul F-9 but will increase fluid flam mability and may affect packings. To maintain a fire-resistant fluid, contamination with oil should be avoided.
The final step is that of filtration and this can be done in any one of a number of commercial units. Filtering media such as cotton linters, felt, metal screens, etc. can be used and Fuller's earth and dialomaceous earth are satisfactory if water is not allowed to enter with Pydraul F-9. A small pump and motor are used to pick up the Pydraul F-9 after separation from the water, force it through the filter, and then into the drum for storage. Care, of course, should be taken that the final drum is clean. A sal vage drum, portable filter unit and storage drum are shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 6 is a diagram of a typical

Several of the filter manufacturers put out a complete
unit that includes the filter, motor and pump. These companies include Hilliard, Cuno, and Honan-Crane. Such a unit has value beyond its use for reclaiming Pydraul F-9, as some plants use such equipment to clean up ail their hydraulic fluid every few weeks. For other filter manufacturers see page 16.
The quantity of Pydraul F-9 that can be reclaimed is usually surprising. Simply placing containers be neath leaks until they can be repaired can result in fluid savings of 10% or more. Where drip pans have been used beneath hydraulic machinery more than 50% of the Pydraul F-9 purchased has been reclaimed. Savings tike these greatly reduce overall fluid cost and can make Pydraul F-9 the most economical (ireresistant fluid in actual use.

^Scetlon Xf Toxicity and safe Handling Information
Extensive animal experimental work has been done on Pydraul F-9. In the case of oral feedings it was found that* the minimum lethal dose for rats was 10.6 to 15.6 grams per kilogram of body weight. In rabbits the oral MLO was 0.57 to 0.8S grams; in both cases the undiluted material was introduced into the animal stomach by means o( a rubber tube catheter.
Pydraul F-9 was patch-tested full strength according to the method of Schwarts and Pack, which is the standard lest for industrial chemicals. Two hundred and five volunteers were, tested and there was no evidence of primary skin irritation or sensitisation.
The material was tested for its vapor phase toxicity by exposing animats to saturated atmosphere concen trations in suitable chambers. This part of the in vestigation involved not only the vapors of Pydraul F-9 itself but also experiments where the fluid was dropped on Inconel surfaces heated to 1050 F. and US0 K. In all cases the toxicity was roughly com
parable to that of petroleum-based hydraulic fluids as far as short-term massive exposures are concerned.
When splashed or sprayed into the eyes, Pydraul F-9 causes burning and smarting; however, there have been no reports of lasting damage. In treating eye irritation following introduction of Pydraul, copfus and prolonged washing is recommended. To relieve the irritation, physicians have used 1% pontocaine solu tion as well as opthalmic cortisone acetate solution.
Regarding the effect of Pydraul F-9 on workers, we have not experienced any injuries during its manu facture. We advise in safe handling that following prolonged or repeated skin contact, the material be washed off and that the material be kept out of the eyes. If prolonged contact with the decomposition products at elevated temperatures should occur, res piratory protection is necessary. For short periods such as would occur in turning off a machine follow ing a breakdown, no such protection is necessary.

PYDRAUL FLUIDS
Development
Fire protection for industrial hydraulic operations began with Pydraul in 1951. Pydraul fluids have since served industry with millions of machine hours of fire-free operation. Pydraul fluid has never contributed -to a fire -- not even when sprayed from the broken ends of high pressure hydraulic lines onto white-hot surfaces.
New ways are continuously being explored to im prove the excellent performance records of Pydraul fluids. The first Pydraul fluid, generalpurpose Pydraul F-9, has grown to a family of six, specially tailored, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. Each answers a major but specific hydraulic fluid need for industrial use. In addition to guarding against fire, each Pydraul fluid lubricates as well as premium grade oil. Pydraul fluids have an swered the need of virtually every industrial hydraulic oj>eration, indoors and out -- from the sub-zero, outdoor hydraulic lift operations for refineries and blast furnaces to the low-viscosity fluid demands of high-speed, precision machine tools.
Performance
Pydraul fluids offer a wide range of viscosities from which you can select the proper range speci fied by your hydraulic equipment manufacturer. Whichever Pydraul fluid you select, each provides the same protection against fire, premium lubric ity, ease of maintenance, and freedom from corrosive action and foam. Pydraul hydraulic fluids also offer several additional benefits --
REDUCED FIRE INSURANCE RATES
Pydraul eliminates firo hazards from hydraulic operations, reduces fire threats to surrounding structure and equipment. Insurance premiums for plants using Pydraul arc often lower than pre miums for operations using petroleum oil.
LONGER PUMP LIFE
Machines that operate on water-based fluids frequently require pump repair or replacement as often as every two or three months. Machines ' that use Pydraul hydraulic fluids can operate on the same pump for several years. Pydraul hy draulic fluids give the same long pump life as the finest grade petroleum oil.
NO CORROSION PROBLEMS
Any metal hydraulic system component in contact with Pydraul will not rust. Pydraul hydraulic fluids do not lose anti-rust properties even after extended use.
MAXIMUM EQUIPMENT RESPONSE
Pydraul never produces excessive froth or foam during normal operations to interfere with hy draulic equipment response. Because Pydraul hydraulic fluids lubricate as well as premium petroleum oils, Pydraul permits equipment to operate at optimum response capability.
INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT DOWN-TIME ARE VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED
Pydraul hydraulic fluids are designed to be permanent. Pydraul fluids do not wear out. Except for normal "make-up" requirements, you never have to add new Pydraul to hydraulic systems. Pydraul eliminates "drain and change" periods; it docs not have to be inspected in your system from month to month -- or even replaced from year to year.

Converting to Pydraul is Easy
No matter what type of hydraulic fluid you now use in your equipment, you can easily convert to Pydraul. Virtually every type of hydraulic ma chinery requiring a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid has been converted to Pydraul. Equipment manu facturers are experienced in converting machinery to Pydraul and should be consulted for their specific recommendations. Some manufacturers will tell you exactly what seals to change. Most can supply the correct seals.
Machines operating on a tiraight tynlhtlie, fireresistant fluid can be converted to Pydraul with out interrupting your production. When converting to Pydraul A-200, Pydraul 625, or Pydraul AC, simply add Pydraul as make-up. To convert to other Pydraul fluids, drain the old fluid and refill with the Pydraul fluid. No flush is necessary. For best seal performance, make your future seal selection according to recommenda tions in the booklet "Converting to Pydraul* Hydraulic Fluids."
Machines operating on oil or water-based hy draulic fluids require the few simple steps out lined below. These steps arc necessary to clean the system of the old fluid and to change to dynamic seals compatible with Pydraul.
CHECK FOR LEAKS
Check your entire system for leaks before you shut down. Mark any leaks for sealing after the system is drained.
ORAIN THE SYSTEM
Drain your present fluid as completely as possible from reservoir, lines and cylinders. Flush system with steam or warm water to avoid residual oil and water-glycol sludge that can reduce Pydraul fluid fire-resistance. You may also be able to do this by opening unions at low spots in your system and blowing out with clean dry air. Seal any leaks.
CLEAN RESERVOIR AND FILTERS
If your reservoir is painted, use a commercial paint remover or scrape out the interior to prevent paint deterioration later on. Wipe your reservoir
clean with lint-free rags. Clean or change d

.
CHECK PUMPS
Check your pumps thoroughly for wear. Kepluc any worn parts.
CHANGE SEALS, PACKINGS ANO HOSES
Change your dynamic seals to seals compatib
with Pydraul hydraulic fluid. If you use reinforce
type hoses that arc in good condition, you norma
ly won't need to change them. If your hoses under
go severe flexing, we recommend butyl c
Teflon-lined hoses. Your accumulator diuphrngir
should be of butyl, fluoroelastomers, EPR c
silicone. Avoid buna elastomers, neoprene ar.
natural rubber.
'
RECONNECT LINES
Reconnect your lines, and tighten firmly. FI your system with Pydraul to the manufacturer recommended level.
START AND STOP PUMP
With the hydraulic controls in neutral, start ar stop your pump several times, without allowir the system to reach working pressure. Th procedure will lubricate the pump. Then you ca leave the pump on to bring the system up i working pressure.
RUN THROUGH CYCLE
Run through the full operating cycle several time to use all parts of your system. Bleed any trappe air through the petcocks. Check your fluid lev<. and add Pydraul if necessary.

Pydraul Viscosities
Laboratory viscosity measurements of SSU (Saybolt Seconds Universal) are affected by fluid density. Because all petroleum oils used for hydraulic operations have similar densities, their measured viscosities can be compared; however, the densities of synthetic fluids differ frdm one another and from petroleum oils. To compare viscosities, measured viscosities of synthetic fluids must be corrected for density.
Each curve on the chart shows the viscositytemperature relationship modified for the differ ence in density of the indicated Pydraul fluid. By comparing these curves with viscosity curves of light, medium, and heavy grades of petroleum oils, it can be seen that Pydraul fluids virtually duplicate viscosities of petroleum oils at normal operating temperatures.

Pydraul Lubrication Properties
Pydraul fluids lubricate as well as premium petro leum oil. Because of this premium lubricity, Pydraul fluids give the same long pump life as
premium petroleum oil. Equipment responds at its optimum capability. And Pydraul fluids are designed to be permanent -- they never evaporate or wear out.

Handling and Storage
As with ail specialized industrial fluids, cer precautions nre advisable when handling Pydr. fluids. Ho problems will arise when Pydraul flu are used as recommended.
Avoid repeated or continuous skin contact, r pcated or prolonged contact can lead to drying a skin "chapping." Where prolonged skin cont. cannot be avoided, gloves should be worn.
At room temperatures, there is no vapor inha tion hazard from Pydraul; however, inhalation vapors at high temperatures should be prevent. In extensive animal experimentation, exposure vapors for one hour showed local respiral irritation, although no systemic effects w produced.
Although eye irritation studies using Pydr at full strength indicate Pydraul is a mild irrito there is no evidence to show Pydraul cau permanent damage to eye tissues. If Pydr fluid is splashed or sprayed into the eyes, e should be thoroughly flushed with water and workman referred to a physician. To rein irritaLion, physicians have used 1% pontoc; solution, as well as the ophthalmic cortis: acetate solution.
Pydraul hydraulic fluids can be stored at s
zero temperatures without fluid damage. Be:
using, simply allow the fluid to warm to rc
temperature. Drums stored outside should
scaled tightly and placed in a horizontal posr
to keep out moisture.

PYDRAUL FLUIDS
Development
Fire protection for industrial hydraulic operations began with Pydraul in 1951. Pydraul fluids have since served industry with millions of machine hours of fire-free operation. Pydraul fluid has never contributed 4.0 a fire -- not even when sprayed from the broken ends of high pressure hydraulic lines onto white-hot surfaces.
New ways are continuously being explored to im prove the excellent performance records of Pydraul fluids. The first Pydraul fluid, generalpurpose Pydraul K-9, has grown to a family of six, specially tailored, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. Each answers a major but specific hydraulic fluid need for industrial use. In addition to guarding against fire, each Pydraul fluid lubricates as well as premium grade oil. Pydraul fluids have an swered the need of virtually every industrial hydraulic ojicration, indoors and out -- from the sub-zero, outdoor hydraulic lift operations for refineries and blast furnaces to the low-viscosity fluid demands of high-speed, precision machine tools.
Performance
Pydraul fluids offer a wide range of viscosities from which you can select the proper range speci fied by your hydraulic equipment manufacturer. Whichever Pydraul fluid you select, each provides the same protection against Are, premium lubric ity, ease of maintenance, and freedom from corrosive action and foam. Pydraul hydraulic fluids also offer several additional benefits --
REDUCED FIRE INSURANCE RATES
Pydraul eliminates firo hazards from hydraulic operations, reduces fire threats to surrounding structure and equipment. Insurance premiums for plants using Pydraul arc often lower than pre miums for operations using petroleum oil.
LONGER PUMP LIFE
Machines that operate on water-based fluids frequently require pump repair or replacement as often as every two or three months. Machines ' that use Pydraul hydraulic fluids can operate on the same pump for several years. Pydraul hy draulic fluids give the same long pump life as the finest grade petroleum oil.
NO CORROSION PROBLEMS
Any metal hydraulic system component in contact with Pydraul will not rust. Pydraul hydraulic fluids do not lose anti-rust properties even after extended use.
MAXIMUM EQUIPMENT RESPONSE
Pydraul never produces excessive froth or foam during normal operations to interfere with hy draulic equipment response. Because Pydraul hydraulic fluids lubricate as well as premium patroleum oils, Pydraul permits equipment to operate at optimum response capability.
INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT DOWN-TIME ARE VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED
Pydraul hydraulic fluids are designed to be permanent. Pydraul fluids do not wear out. Except for normal "make-up" requirements, you never have to add new Pydraul to hydraulic systems. Pydraul eliminates "drain and change" periods; it docs not have to bo inspected in your system from month to month -- or even replaced from year to year.

Converting to Pydraul is Easy
No matter what type of hydraulic fluid you now use in your equipment, you can easily convert to Pydraul. Virtually every type of hydraulic ma chinery requiring a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid has been converted to Pydraul. Equipment manu facturers are experienced in converting machinery to Pydraul and should be consulted for their specific recommendations. Some manufacturers will tell you exactly what seals to change. Most can supply the correct seals.
Machines operating on a straight synthetic, fireresistant fluid can be converted to Pydraul with out interrupting your production. When converting to Pydraul A-200, Pydraul 625, or Pydraul AC, simply add Pydraul as make-up. To convert to other Pydraul fluids, drain the old fluid and refill with the Pydraul fluid. No flush is necessary. For best seal performance, make your future seal selection according to recommenda tions in the booklet "Converting to Pydraul Hydraulic Fluids."
Machines operating on oil or water-based hy draulic fluids require the few simple steps out lined below. These steps arc necessary to clean the system of the old fluid and to change to dynamic seals compatible with Pydraul.
CHECK FOR LEAKS
Check your entire system for leaks before you shut down. Mark any leaks for sealing after the system is drained.
ORAIN THE SYSTEM
Drain your present fluid as completely as possible from reservoir, lines and cylinders. Flush system with steam or warm water to avoid residual oil and water-glyco! sludge that can reduce Pydraul fluid fire-resistance. You may also be able to do this by opening unions at low spots in your system and blowing out with clean dry air. Seal any leaks.
CLEAN RESERVOIR AND FILTERS
If your reservoir is painted, use a commercial paint remover or scrape out the interior to prevent paint deterioration later on. Wipe your reservoir
clean with lint-free rags. Clean or change the
cartridge in your filter.
,
CHECK PUMPS
Check your pumps thoroughly for wear. Replace any worn parts.
CHANGE SEALS, PACKINGS AND HOSES
Change your dynamic seals to seals compatible
with Pydraul hydraulic fluid. If you use reinforced
typo hoses that are in good condition, you normal
ly won't need to change them. If your hoses under
go severe flexing, we recommend butyl or
Teflon-lined hoses. Your accumulator diaphragms
should be of butyl, fluoroelastomers, EI'R or
silicone. Avoid buna elastomers, neoprene and
natural rubber.
'
RECONNECT LINES
Reconnect your lines, and tighten firmly. Fill your system with Pydraul to the manufacturer's recommended level.
START AND STOP PUMP
With the hydraulic controls in neutral, start and stop your pump several times, without allowing the system to reach working pressure. This procedure will lubricate the pump. Then you can leave the pump on to bring the system up to working pressure.
RUN THROUGH CYCLE
Run through the full operating cycle several times to use all parts of your system. Bleed any trapped air through the petcocks. Chock your fluid level and add Pydraul if necessary.

Pydraul Viscosities
Laboratory viscosity measurements of SSU (Saybolt Seconds Universal) are alTected by fluid density. Because ail petroleum oils used for hydraulic operations have similar densities, their measured viscosities can be compared; however, the densities of synthetic fluids differ frdm one another and from petroleum oils. To compare viscosities, measured viscosities of synthetic fluids must be corrected for density.
Each curve on the chart shows the viscositytemperature relationship modified for the differ ence in density of the indicated Pydraul fluid. By comparing these curves with viscosity curves of light, medium, and heavy grades of petroleum oils, it can be seen that Pydraul fluids virtually duplicate viscosities of petroleum oils at normal operating temperatures.
Pydraul Lubrication Properties
Pydraul fluids lubricate as well as premium petro leum oil. Because of this premium lubricity, Pydraul fluids give the same long pump life as
premium petroleum oil. Equipment responds at its optimum capability. And Pydraul fluids arc designed to be permanent -- they never evaporate or wear out.

Handling and Storage
As with all specialized industrial fluids, certair precautions are advisable when handling Pydrau fluids. No problems will arise when Pydraul fluid; are used as recommended.
Avoid repeated or continuous skin contact. Re peated or prolonged contact can lead to drying an< skin "chapping." Where prolonged skin contac cannot be avoided, gloves should be worn.
At room temperatures, there is no vapor inhala tion hazard from Pydraul; however, inhalation o vapors at high temperatures should be prevented In extensive animal experimentation, exposures t vapors for one hour showed local respirator irritation, although no systemic effects wer produced.
Although eye irritation studies using Pydrat at full strength indicate Pydraul is a mild irritant there is no evidence to show Pydraul cause permanent damage to eye tissues. If Pydra fluid is splashed or sprayed into the eyes, ey. should be thoroughly flushed with water and t! workman referred to a physician. To relic' irritation, physicians have used 1% pontocaii solution, as well as the ophthalmic cortisor acetate solution.
Pydraul hydraulic fluids can be stored at sut
zero temperatures without fluid damage. Befoi
using, simply allow the fluid to warm to rooi
temperature. Drums stored outside should L
sealed tightly and placed in a horizontal positic
to keep out moisture.

PYDRAUL FLUIDS
Development
Fire protection for industrial hydraulic operations began with Pydraul in 1951. Pydraul fluids have since served industry with millions of machine hours of fire-free operation. Pydraul fluid has never contributed to a fire -- not even when sprayed from the broken ends of high pressure hydraulic lines onto white-hot surfaces.
New ways are continuously being explored to im prove the excellent performance records of Pydraul fluids. The first Pydraul fluid, generalpurpose Pydraul F-9, has grown to a family of 12, specially tailored, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. Each answers a major but specific hydraulic fluid need for industrial use. In addition to guarding against fire, each Pydraul fluid lubricates as well as premium grade oil. Pydraul fluids have an swered the need of virtually every industrial hydraulic operation, indoors and out -- from the sub-zero, outdoor hydraulic lift operations for refineries and blast furnaces to the low-viscosity fluid demands of high-speed, precision machine tools.
Performance
Pydraul fluids offer a wide range of viscosities from which you can select the proper range speci fied by your hydraulic equipment manufacturer. Whichever Pydraul fluid you select, each provides the same protection against fire, premium lubric ity, ease of maintenance, and freedom from corrosive action and foam. Pydraul hydraulic fluids also offer several additional benefits --
REDUCED FIRE INSURANCE RATES
Pydraul eliminates fire hazards from hydraulic operations, reduces fire threats to surrounding structure and equipment. Insurance premiums for plants using Pydraul are often lower than pre miums for operations using petroleum oil.
LONGER PUMP LIFE
Machines which operate on water-based fluids frequently require pump repair or replacement as often as every two or three months. Machines which use Pydraul hydraulic fluids can operate on ' the same pump for several years. Pydraul hy draulic fluids give the same long pump life as the finest grade petroleum oil.
NO CORROSION PROBLEMS
Any metal hydraulic system component in contact with Pydraul will not rust. Pydraul hydraulic fluids do not lose anti-rust properties even after extended use.
MAXIMUM EQUIPMENT RESPONSE
Pydraul never produces excessive froth or foam during normal operations to interfere with hy draulic equipment response. Because Pydraul hydraulic fluids lubricate as well as premium petroleum oils, Pydraul permits equipment to operate at optimum response capability.
INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT DOWN-TIME ARE VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED
Pydraul hydraulic fluids are designed to be permanent. Pydraul fluids do not wear out. Except for normal "make-up" requirements, you never have to add new Pydraul to hydraulic systems. Pydraul eliminates "drain and change" periods; it does not have to be inspected in your system from month to month -- or replaced from year to year.
NVF 003374
WATER PCB-SD0000074651
Converting to Pydraul is Easy
No matter what type of hydraulic fluid you now use in your equipment, you can easily convert to Pydraul. Virtually every type of hydraulic ma chinery requiring a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid has been converted to Pydraul. Equipment manu facturers are experienced'in converting machinery to Pydraul and should be consulted for their specific recommendations. Some manufacturers will tell you exactly what seals to change. Most can supply the correct seals.
Machines operating on a atraighi aynlhtlic, fireresistant fluid can be converted to Pydraul with out interrupting your production. When converting to Pydraul A-200, Pydraul 625, or Pydraul AC, simply add Pydraul as make-up. To convert to other Pydraul fluids, drain the old fluid and refill with the Pydraul fluid. No flush is necessary. For best seal performance, make your future seal selection according to recommenda tions in the booklet "Converting to Pydraul Hydraulic Fluids."
Machines operating on oil or water-based hy draulic fluids require the few simple steps out lined below. These steps are necessary to clean the system of the old fluid and to change to dynamic seals compatible with Pydraul.
CHECK FOR LEAKS
Check your entire system for leaks before you shut down. Mark any leaks for sealing after the system is drained.
DRAIN THE SYSTEM
Drain your present fluid as completely as possible from reservoir, lines and cylinders. Flush system with steam or warm water to avoid residual oil and water-glycol sludge which can reduce Pydraul fluid fire-resistance. You may also be able to do this by opening unions at low spots in your system and blowing out with clean dry air. Seal any leaks.
CLEAN RESERVOIR ANO FILTERS
If your reservoir is painted, use a commercial paint remover or scrape out the interior to prevent paint deterioration later on. Wipe your reservoir
clean with lint-free rags. Clean or change the cartridge in your filter.
CHECK PUMPS
Check your pumps thoroughly for wear. Replace any worn parts.
CHANGE SEALS, PACKINGS ANO HOSES Change your dynamic seals to seals compatible with Pydraul hydraulic fluid. If you use reinforced type hoses which are in good condition, you normally won't need to change them. If your hoses undergo severe flexing, we recommend butyl or Teflon-lined hoses. Your accumulator diaphragms should be of butyl, fluoroelastomera, EPR or silicone. Avoid buna elastomers, neuprene and natural rubber in dynamic seal locations.
RECONNECT LINES
Reconnect your lines, and tighten firmly. Fill your system with Pydraul to the manufacturer's recommended level.
START AND STOP PUMP
With the hydraulic controls in neutral, start and stop your pump several times, without allowing the system to reach working pressure. This procedure will lubricate the pump. Then you can leave the pump on to bring the system up to working pressure.
RUN THROUGH CYCLE
Run through the full operating cycle several times to use ail parts of your system. Bleed any trapped air through the petcocks. Check your fluid level and add Pydraul if necessary.
ASK FOR THE BOOKLET
"Converting to Pydraul'^ Hydraulic Fluids," for complete information.
HOW TO EQUIP NEW MACHINERY WITH PYDRAUL
When ordering new hydraulic equipment, simply specify, "For use with Pydraul hydraulic fluid" and state the specific Pydraul you will use.

Pydraul Viscosities
Laboratory viscosity measurements of SSU (Saybolt Seconds Universal) are affected by fluid density. Because all petroleum oils used for hydraulic operations have similar densities, their measured viscosities can be compared; however, the densities of synthetic fluids differ from one another and from petroleum oils. To compare viscosities, measured viscosities of synthetic fluids must be corrected for density.
Each curve on the two charts (SSU and Centistokes) shows the viscosity-temperature relation ship modified for the difference in density of the indicated Pydraul fluid. By comparing these curves with viscosity curves of light, medium, and heavy grades of petroleum oils, it can be seen that Pydraul fluids virtually duplicate viscosities of petroleum oils at normal operating temperatures.

Pydraul Lubrication Properties
Pydraul fluids lubricate as well as premium petro leum oil. Because of this premium lubricity, Pydraul fluids give the same long pump life as
premium petroleum oil. Equipment responds at its optimum capability. And Pydraul fluids are designed to be permanent -- they never evaporate or wear out.

Handling and Storage
As with all specialized industrial fluids, certain precautions are advisable when handling Pydraul fluids. No health problems should arise when Py draul fluids are used as recommended.
Avoid repeated or continuous skin contact. Re peated or prolonged contact can lead to drying and skin "chapping." Where prolonged skin contact cannot be avoided, gloves should be worn.
At room temperatures, there is no vapor inhala tion hazard from Pydraul; however, inhalation of vapors at high temperatures should be prevented. In animal experimentation, exposures to vapors for one hour showed local respiratory irritation, although no systemic effects were produced.
Although eye irritation studies using Pydraul at full strength indicate Pydraul is a mild irritant, there is no evidence to show Pydraul causes permanent damage to eye tissues. If Pydraul fluid is splashed or sprayed into the eyes, eyes should be thoroughly flushed with water and the workman referred to a physician. To relieve irritation, physicians have used 1% pontocaine solution, as well as the ophthalmic cortisone acetate solution.
Pydraul hydraulic fluids can be stored at sub
zero temperatures without fluid damage. Before
using, simply allow the fluid to warm to room
temperature. Drums stored outside should be
sealed tightly and placed in a horizontal position
to keep out moisture.

PYDRAUL
Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluid
A guide to selecting the cor
rect Pydraul fluid for hydraulic
systems.
O/FF-3
WATER PCB-SD0000074660
NVF 003394
Development
Fire protection for industrial hydraulic opera tions began with Pydraul in 1951. Pydraul fluids have since provided industry with millions of machine hours of safe operation. Pydraul fluid has never caused a fire--not even when sprayed from broken high pressure hydraulic fines onto while-hot surfaces.
New ways are continuously being explored to improve the excellent performance records of Pydraul fluids. From the first Pydraul fluid,
(Pydraul F-9) the family has grown to a dozenplus specially tailored, fire-resistant safety fluids. Each answers a major but specific hy draulic fluid need for industrial use. In addi tion to guarding against fire, each Pydraul fluid lubricates as well as premium grade oil. Pydraul fluids have answered the need of vir tually every industrial hydraulic operation, in doors and out--from the sub-zero, outdoor hy draulic lift operations for refineries and blast furnaces to the low-viscosity fluid demands of high-speed, precision machine tools.
Performance
Pydraul fluids ofTer a wide range of viscosities from which you can select the proper range speci fied by your hydraulic equipment manufacturer. Whichever Pydraul fluid you select, each pro vides the same protection against fire, premium lubricity, ease of maintenance, and freedom from corrosive action and foam. Pydraul hydraulic fluids fdso ofTer several additional benefits--
REDUCED FIRE INSURANCE RATES
Pydraul eliminates fire hazards from hydraulic operations, reduce* fire threats to surrounding structure and equipment. Insurance premiums for plants using Pydraul are often lower than premiums for operations using, petroleum oil.
LONGER PUMP LIFE Machines which operate on water-based fluids frequently require pump repair or replacement as often as every two or three months. Machines which use Pydraul hydraulic fluids can operate on the same pump for several years. Pydraul hydraulic fluids give the same long pump life as the finest grade petroleum oil.
NO CORROSION PROBLEMS
Any metal hydraulic system component in con tact with Pydraul will not rust. Pydraul hydrau lic fluids do not lose anti-rust properties even after extended use.
MAXIMUM EQUIPMENT RESPONSE
Pydraul never produces excessive froth or foam during normal operations to interfere with hy draulic equipment response. Because Pydraul hydraulic fluids lubricate as well as premium petroleum oils, Pydraul permits equipment to operate at optimum response capability.
INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT DOWN-TIME ARE VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED Pydraul hydraulic fluids are designed to be permanent. Pydraul fluids do not wear out. Ex cept for normal "make-up" requirements, you never have to add new Pydraul to hydraulic systems. Pydraul eliminates "drain and change" periods; it does not have to be inspected in your system from month to month--or replaced from year to year.

Flra-reslstanee Advantages at Pydraui
Pydraui fluids protect hydraulic aqiiipmnnt end person nel with permanent tire protection. Pydreul fluids contain no wetor to evaporate and leave a flammable residue. During their millions ot hours ot machine use, Pydreul fluids have bean accidentally sprayed over molten metal, through electrical arcs. Into flames and lparhs--without causing lire. Pydraui fluids have never caused or con tributed to a hydraulic fire in any type ot equipment. They pass ail ot the Important Ignition lasts for lira-
resistance.
Monsanto introduced Pydrtul F-9 as industry's lirst straight synthetic, fira-resistani hydrau lic lluid. Pydraui F-9 rapidly be came the standard against which
all other synthetic hydraulic fluids were fudged. Today. It is still tumidered the basis for comparison. Pydreul F-9 is used in every maior type ol diecasting machine end a wide variety ot other equipment found in the metal-working, glass, and pro cess industries. No other fireresistant hydraulic fluid has more on-the-line proven per
formance to offer. Pydreul F-9 Is listed by Underwriters lab oratories for use in hazardous hydraulic applications. It is also approved by Factory Mutual and
U.S. Bureau ol mines.

Converting to
PYDRAUL is Easy
Regardless of llie type hydraulic fluid being used, converting a system Uo low-cost Pydraul fluids is easy. Virtually every type of equipment which uses lire-resistant hydraulic fluid hits been converted to Pydraul fluids. Most equip ment manufacturers are experienced in Pydraul lluid conversions and should be consulted.
If changing seals is necessary, equipment manu facturers can recommend wlmt seals to change, and many carry a supply of correct seals. Laboratory tests and operational experience show Vilon*, Tellon*, and silicone the preferred elastomers for compatible seals. For moderate temperatures ibelow I40K) butyl seals, hose, etc. are usually acceptable. Nylon and Teflon are satisfactory for higher temperatures.
To replace other fluids which are compatible with I'yd raul and where compatible seals are in the system, it is only necessary to add Pydraul as make-up fluid. It is not necessary to drain nr clean. When converting from petroleum oils, non-compatible synthetic fluids, water-glycol fluids, or water-in-oil emulsions, the following steps are recommended. These conform to USA Standard 1198.5-- 19(16. For best seal perform ance, make your future seal selection according to recommendations'on page 8 in this booklet.
please ask the Monsanto fluids specialist for recommendations and assistance, or telephone uur technical specialists in St. Louis directly 1814) 1194-2500.
Change-Over Procedures
CHANGING FROM PETROLEUM OIL
1. ('omplctcly drain and clean the system. Small amounts of oil will not interfere with the per formance of Pydraul, but resistance to fire is reduced by the amount of oil left in the system.
2. Drain and blow out pipelines. Manually clean valves and reservoirs.
9<J Iradamnrh of t. I, Du Pont do Nimour* 4 Co., Inc.
3. Open or remove and drain valves. Uoplare gaskets, packings, and seals with those com patible with Pydraul. It. is particularly im portant to change dynamic seals. Static seals do not necessarily have to be changed if they are not leaking. Non-compatible static seals will have to be replaced when the part is disassembled for maintenance.
4. Remove pumps, accumulators, and cylinders, if necessary, for draining. Replace packings, seals, gaskets, and bladders with those com patible with Pydraul.
5. Check component functions before the systern is closed and fluid is added.
6. If your system cannot bo completely drained, you may have to flush it with a small amount of Pydraul.
CHANGING FROM WATER-GLYCOL OR WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION
*
1. Drain and clean system thoroughly. Remove all traces of water. Kmpty all lines and low points or dead pockets in components.
2. Clean with steam or warm water. Follow by blowing with dry air.
3. Check sealing materials, hoses, ami accumu lator bags. Replace if necessary with com patible materials.
4. Install a minimum charge of Pydraul and operate the system from 16 to 24 hours. During this period, inspect the reservoir. If water or other contaminants float to the top, skim them olL
5. Drain the flushing charge immediately after shut-down while the fluid is warm. Drain all isolated points or parts which do not drain back to the reservoir. If water is apparent in fluid clinging to walls, wipe down all acces
sible parts.
CHANGING FROM PHOSPHATE ESTERS (OTHER THAN PYDRAUL)
1. Drain the system completely.
2. Cleaning is unnecessary.
3. Generally, soul changes are unnecessary at the time of conversion,, but installation of compatible seals is recommended during routine maintenance.

Reclaiming * PYDRAUL Fluids
machinery, more than half of the total Pydraul leakage has been reclaimed.
This dollar-saving recovery appears especially
Pydraul hydraulic fluid lost from leaks and spills can be reclaimed because it is exceptionally stable and resistant to water and other con taminates. If fluid losses are appreciable--fluid recovery can result in considerable savings.
advantageous because it isn't practical to re claim either water glycol or water-oil emulsions except to filter out large dirt particles. Re claiming Pydraul fluid helps make it the most economical fire-resistant fluid available.
Simply placing a container beneath leaks until
Reclaiming Pydraul consists of two steps: re
they can be repaired will stive some fluid. Where
moving waLer, and filtering dirt or other solid
drip pans have been used beneath hydraulic
particles.
WATER REMOVAL...Water does not mix with
Pydraul and will, therefore, form a layer on top. A drum reserved for contaminated fluid with a side and end bung, placet! horizontally on a cradle about two feet off the floor, is a simple
and effective settling chamber. Salvaged fluid can be added through a large funnel in the top opening and Pydraul periodically drained off through the lower opening.
(
For a more elaborate system, permanently in stalled settling tanks, or a commercial installa tion can be usetl.
A second method is centrifuging. Suitable units are nindfc_by Del-aval and Sharpies Co. Cen trifuges opera to swiftly . . . will separate water from large volumes of fluid in a short lime.
FINAL FILTRATION ... A number of filtration units are available complete with filler pump
and motor. Other systems use filter media such as cotton I inters, felt or metal screens. Attapulgus clay and Fuller's earth may be used to help keep the fluid clean, reduce moisture and lower neutralization number. Diatomaceous earth filtration is recommended for solid parti cles removal only. Paper and fiber type filters arc recommended for water and particle re moval but are ineffective for lowering neutra lization number (acidity) values.
Filters in the 3 lo 5 micron range are recommended lor Pydraul nitration and rec lamation. Such (ilter media will not altect the basic Py draul formulation.

Handling
Animal toxicity studies ami human experience indicate that the l'ydraul hydraulic fluids may la- used safely if a few reasonable precautions are taken. J<o|>cated or prolonged skin contact should be avoided not only to prevent absorp tion of the material and possible systemic effect but, also, because the fluids are excellent sol vents for the oils normally present in the skin. Thus, drying and irritation could occur.
When splashed or sprayed into the eyes, Fydraul causes painful smarting. I'llere is no evidence, however, of any ixirmuncnt eye injury. In the event of accidental contact with the eyes, the eyes should be flushed with copious amounts of water for 15 minutes and the workman re ferred to a physician; physicians have used 1% I'ootocaine solution and ophthalmic cortisone acetate solution to relieve irritation.
When Pydraul is kept at room temperature, it docs not constitute a vapor inhalation hazard except in a confined, unventilated space. Res piratory protection or mechanical exhaust ven tilation should be provided if there is repeated and prolonged contact of the fluid with heated surfaces with resulting volatilization or possible decomposition of the fluid. Where a ruptured oil hydraulic line near a white-hot surface means a fire, a ruptured hydraulic line containing Pydraul causes a va|Hir with an unpleasant odor that can help you locate the trouble. For short periods, such as turning off equipment follow ing the rupture of a hydraulic line or other mechanical failure, no protection is necessary.

PYDRAUI fluids
Development
Fire protection for industrial hydraulic opera tions began with Pydraul in 1951. Pydraul fluids have since provided industry with millions of machine hours of safe operation. Pydraul fluid has never caused a fire--not even when sprayed from broken high pressure hydraulic lines onto white-hot surfaces.
New ways are continuously being explored to improve the excellent performance records of Pydraul fluids. From the first Pydraul fluid,
(Pydraul F-9) the family has grown to a dozen-
plus specially tailored, fire-resistant safety
fluids. Each answers a major but specific hy
draulic fluid need for industrial use. In addi
tion to guarding against fire, each Pydraul
fluid lubricates as well as premium grade oil.
Pydraul fluids have answerer! the need of vir
tually every industrial hydraulic operation, in
doors and out--from the sub-zero, outdoor hy-.
draulic lift operations for refineries and blast
furnaces to the low-viscosity fluid demands of'
high-speed, precision machine tools.
'
Performance
Pydraul fluids offer a wide range of viscosities from which you can select the proper range speci fied by your hydraulic equipment manufacturer. Whichever Pydraul fluid you select, each pro vides the same protection against fire, premium lubricity, ease of maintenance, and freedom from corrosive action and foam. Pydraul hydraulic fluids also offer several additional benefits--
REDUCED FIRE INSURANCE RATES Pydraul eliminates fire hazards from hydraulic operations, reduces fire threats to surrounding structure and equipment Insurance premiums for plants using Pydraul are often lower than premiums for operations using petroleum oil.
LONGER PUMP LIFE Machines which operate on water-based fluids frequently require pump repair or replacement as often as every two or three months. Machines which use Pydraul hydraulic fluids can operate on the same pump for several years. Pydraul hydraulic fluids give the same long pump life as the finest grade petroleum oil.
NO CORROSION PROBLEMS
Any metal hydraulic system component in con tact with Pydraul will not rust. Pydraul hydrau lic fluids do not lose anti-rust properties even after extended use.
MAXIMUM EQUIPMENT RESPONSE
Pydraul never produces excessive froth or foam during normal operations to interfere with hy draulic equipment response. Because Pydraul hydraulic fluids lubricate as well as premium petroleum oils, Pydraul permits equipment to operate at optimum response capability.
INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT DOWN-TIME ARE VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED
Pydraul hydraulic fluids are designed to he permanent. Pydraul fluids do not wear out. Ex cept for normal "make-up" requirements, you never have to add new Pydraul to hydraulic systems. Pydraul eliminates "drain and change" periods; it does not have to be inspected in your system from month to month--or replaced from year to year.

Converting to PYDRAUL is Easy
Regardless of the type hydraulic fluid being used, converting a system t6 low-coat Pydraul fluids is easy. Virtually every type of equipment which uses flro-resistant hydraulic fluid has been converted to Pydraul fluids. Most equip ment manufacturers are experienced in Pydraul fluid conversions and should be consulted.
If changing seals is necessary, equipment manu facturers can recommend what seals to change, and many carry a supply of correct seals. Laboratory tests and operational experience show Vilon*, Teflon*, anti silicone the preferred elastomers for compatible seals. For moderate temperatures (below 140F) butyl seals, hose, etc. are usually acceptable. Nylon and Teflon are satisfactory for higher temperatures.
To replace other fluids which are compatible with Pydraul anti where compatible seals are in the system, it is only necessary to add Pydraul us mal(e-up fluid. It is not necessary to drain or clean. When converting from petroleum oils, non-compatible synthetic fluids, water-glycol fluids, or water-in-oil emulsions, the following steps are recommended. These conform to USA Standard B93.5--1966. For best seal perform ance, make your future seal selection according Lo recommendations on page 8 in this booklet.
Please ask the Monsanto fluids specialist for recommendations and assistance, or telephone our technical specialists in St. I-ouis directly (.314) 694-2500.
Change-Over Procedures
CHANGING FROM PETROLEUM OIL
1. Completely drain and clean the system. Small amounts of oil will not interfere with the per formance of Pydraul, but resistance to fire is reduced by the amount of oil left in the system.
2. Drain and blow out pipelines. Manually clean valves and reservoirs.
trdmrk of C. I. Ou Pont d Namourt & Co., Inc.
3. Open or remove and drain valves. Replace gaskets, packings, and seals with those com patible with Pydraul. It is particularly im portant to change dynamic seals. Static seals do not necessarily have to be changed if they are not leaking. Non-compatible static seals will have to be replaced when the part is disassembled for maintenance.
4. Remove pumps, accumulators, and cylinders, if necessary, for draining. Replace packings, seals, gaskets, and bladders with those com patible with Pydraul.
5. Check component functions before the sys tem is closed and fluid is added.
6. If your system cannot be completely drained, you may have to flush it with a small amount of Pydraul.
CHANGING FROM WATER-GLYCOL OR
WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION
.
1. Drain and clean system thoroughly. Remove all traces of water. Empty all lines and low
points or dead pockets in components.
2. Clean with steam or warm water. Follow bv blowing with dry air.
3. Check sealing materials, hoses, and accumu lator bags. Replace if necessary with com patible materials.
4. Install a minimum charge of Pydraul and operate the system from 16 to 24 hours. During this period, inspect the reservoir. If water or other contaminants float to the top, skim them off.
5. Drain the flushing charge immediately after shut-down while the fluid is warm. Drain all isolated points or parts which do not drain back to the reservoir. If water is apparent in fluid clinging to walls, wipe down all acces
sible parts.
CHANGING FROM PHOSPHATE ESTERS (OTHER THAN PYORAUL)
1. Drain the system completely.
2. Cleaning is unnecessary.
3. Generally, seal changes are unnecessary at the time of conversion, but installation of compatible seals is recommended (hiring routine maintenance.

Reclaiming PYDRAUL Fluids
Pydraul hydraulic fluid lost from leaks and spills can be reclaimed because it is exceptionally stable and resistant to water and other con taminates. If fluid losses are appreciable--fluid recovery can result in considerable savings. Simply placing a container beneath leaks until they can be repaired will save some fluid. Where drip pans have been used beneath hydraulic
WATER REMOVAL... Water does not mix with Pydraul and will, therefore, form a layer on top. A drum reserved for contaminated fluid with a side and end bung, placed horizontally on a cradle about two feet off the floor, is a simple
machinery, more than half of the total Pydraul leakage has been reclaimed.
This dollar-savmg recovery appears especially advantageous because it isn't practical to re claim either water glycol or water-oil emulsions except to filter out large dirt particles. Re claiming Pydraul fluid helps make it the most economical lire-resistant fluid available. Reclaiming Pydraul consists of two steps: re moving water, and filtering dirt or other solid particles.
and effective settling chamber. Salvaged fluid can be added through a large funnel in the top opening and Pydraul periodically drained off through the lower opening.
For a more elaborate system, permanently in stalled settling tanks, or a commercial installa tion can be used.
A second method is centrifuging. Suitable units are made by DeLaval and Sharpies Co. Cen trifuges operate swiftly . . . will separate water from large volumes of fluid in a short time.
FINAL FILTRATION ... A number of filtration units are available complete with filter pump
and motor. Other systems use filter media such
as cotton lintera, felt or metal screens. At-
tapulgus clay and Fuller's earth may be used In
help keep the fluid clean, reduce moisture and
lower neutralization number. Diatomacenus
earth filtration is recommended for solid parti
cles removal only. Paper and fiber type fillers
are recommended for water and particle re
moval but are ineffective for lowering neutra
lization number (acidity) values.

Filters in the 3 to 5 micron range are recommended lor Pydraul filtration and rec lamation. Such hlter media will not allect the basic Py draul formulation.

Handling
Animal toxicity studies and human experience indicate that the Pydraul hydraulic fluids may be used safely if a few reasonable precautions are taken. Repeated or prolonged skin contact should be avoided not only to prevent absorp tion of the material and possible systemic effect but, also, because the fluids are excellent sol vents for the oils normally present in the skin. Thus, drying and irritation could occur.
When splashed or sprayed into the eyes, Pydraul causes painful smarting. There is no evidence, however, of any permanent eye injury. In the event of accidental contact with the eyes, the eyes should be flushed with copious amounts of water for 15 minutes and the workman re ferred to a physician; physicians have used 1% Pontocaine solution ami ophthalmic cortisone acetate solution to relieve irritation.
When Pydraul is kept at room temperature, it does not constitute a vapor inhalation hazard except in a confined, unventilated space. Res piratory protection or mechanical exhaust ven tilation should be provided if there is repeated and prolonged contact of the fluid with heated surfaces with resulting volatilization or possible decomposition of the fluid. Where a ruptured oil hydraulic line near a white-hot surface means a fire, a ruptured hydraulic line containing Pydraul causes a vapor with an unpleasant odor that cun help you locate the trouble. For short periods, such as turning off equipment follow ing the rupture of a hydraulic line or other mechanical failure, no protection is necessary.

Protection from firs for hydraulic operations bsjan with PydrauL That was in 1961. Pydraul fluids havs sines served Industry with over ons billion machine hours of firs* free operation. Never during these billion hours of machine operations has a Pydraul fluid contributed to a Art--not even when sprayed from the broken ends of high pres sure hydraulic lines onto white-hot surfaces. New ways ass continuously being explored to improve ths excellent performance records of Pydraul fluids. The first Pydrsul fluid, general-purpose Pydrsul F-9. has grown to s family of six, specially tailored, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids and lubricants. Each answers a major but specific hydraulic fluid need for industrial use. In addition to guarding against fire, aach Pydraul fluid lubricates aa wall aa premium grade oil. Pydraul fluids have answered the need of virtually every indus trial hydraulic operation, indoors and out-- from ths eub-saro, outdoor hydraulic lift operations for refineries and blast furnace# to ths low-viscosity fluid demands of high speed, precision machine tools.

Whichever Pydraui fluid you select, each provides tha sama protection against Are, premium lubricity, ease of main tenance, and freedom from corroaive action

REDUCED FIRE INSURANCE RATES
Because Pydraui eliminates fire hazards from hydraulic equipment operations, Pydraui re
duces the threat of fire to surrounding struc
ture and equipment. Insurance premiums for plants using Pydraui, therefore, aura often
lower then premiums for operations using
petroleum oil.

LONGER PUMP LIFE
Machines that operate on water-based fluids frequently require pump repair or replace ment aa often aa every two or three months. Machine* that use Pydraui hydraulic fluids can operate on the same pump for several yeare. Pydraui hydraulic fluids give the same long pump Ufa as the finest grade petroleum

NO CORROSION PROBLEMS Any metal hydraulic system component in contact with Pydraul will not rust, And Pydraul hydraulic fluids do not loaa anti* rust proparties with us*.
MAXIMUM EQUIPMENT RESPONSE Pydraul navar produces excessive froth or foam during normal operations to interfere with hydraulic equipment response. Because Pydraul hydraulic fluids lubricate aa well aa premium petroleum oils, Pydraul permits equipment to operate at optimum response capability.
INSPECTION ANO REPLACEMENT DOWN-TIME ARE VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED Pydraul hydraulic fluids are designed to be permanent. Pydraul fluids do not wear out. Except for normal "make-up" requirements, you never have to add new Pydraul to hydraulic systems. Pydraul eliminates "drain and change" periods; it does not have to be Inspected in your system from month to month--or even replaced from year to year.

No matter what typo of hydraulic fluid you i
bow on in your equipment, you can easily
convert to PydrauL Virtually every type of hydraulic machinery requiring a fire-resistant
hydraulic fluid haa been converted to PydrauL 1
Equipment manufacturer* are experienced in i
converting machinery to Pydraul and ahould .
be consulted for their specific recommendations.
Some manufacturers will tell you exactly what
seals to change. Most can supply the comet .
seals.
Machines operating on a ttraight *ynth*tic, fire-
resistant fluid can be converted to Pydraul without interrupting your production. When converting to Pydraul A-200, Pydraul 628, or Pydraul AC, simply add Pydraul as make-up.
To convert to other Pydraul fluids, drain the old fluid and refill with the Pydraul fluid. No \ flush is necessary.
Machines operating on oil or water-based hy draulic fluids require the few simple steps out- j lined below. These steps are necessary to dean tbs system of the old fluid and to change to ; dynamic seals compatible with Pydraul.
Check for leaks.
;
Check the entire system before the equipment I
fa shut down for conversion. Mark these leaks j
foe later correction.
;
Drain fluid from the system.
J
Drain the reeervoir, lines, and cylinders aa j
completely as possible to remove all of the old j
fluid. This can sometimes be dons by opening ;
unions at low spots in the system and blowing !

Pydraul and naed not be replaced if they are in
good condition. In operations where eevere hose
flexing and bending take place, butyl-lined
hoses art recommended. Accumulator dia

other materials resistant to Pydraul
'
Reconnect lines.
When reconnecting lines, tighten carefully-- particularly those joints that leaked previously. Then fill with Pydraul to the proper leveL
Start and stop pump.
With the hydraulic controls la neutral, start and stop the pump several times, but do not allow the system to reach working pressure. This will help assure that fluid reaches the pump and lubricates It. The pump can than be left on, and the system can be brought to working pressure.

Aa with alt spocUllrsd lnduatrlal fluids, certain
precaution* art advisable whan handling Pydraul fluids. No problems will arias whan Pydraul fluids ars ussd as rcommanded.
Avoid repaalad or continuous akin contact. Repeated or prolonged contact can load to drying and akin "chapping." Where prolonged skin contact cannot be avoided, gloves should be worn.
At room temperatures, there is no vapor inhalation haaard from Pydraul; however, inhalation of vapors at high temperatures should be pre vented. In extensive animal experimentation, exposures to vapors for on# hour showed local respiratory irritation, although no systemic affects were produced.
Although eye irritation studies using Pydraul at hill strength indicate Pydraul is a mild irri tant, there is no evidence to show Pydraul causes permanent damage to ays tissues. If Pydraul fluid is splashed or sprayed Into the eyes, eyas should be thoroughly flushed with water and tbs workman referred to a physician. To relieve irritation, physicians have ussd 1% pontocaine solution, as well aa the ophthalmic cortisone acetate solution.
Pydraul hydraulic fluids can be stored at subaero temperatures without fluid damage. Be fore using, simply allow the fluid to warm to room temperature. Drums storsd outside should be sealed tightly and placed In a boriaontal position to keep out moisture.

You can convert to Pydraul straight synthetics no matter what type of hydraulic fluid you now use in your equipment--nearly every type of hydraulic equipment that needs a fire-resistant fluid has been converted to Pydraul. Equipment manufacturers ore experienced in conversion procedures and should be consulted for their recom mendations. Some manufacturers will tell you exactly what seals to change and -- several will supply them. You can use the check list on the opposite page as a general guide for converting hydraulic systems to any Pydraul fluid. For machines now running on a straight synthetic fluid, you can add Pydraul A-200 or Pydraul 625 as make-up without interrupting your production. Machines operating on oil or water-based fluids require a few simple conversion steps which primarily in volve cleaning the system of the old fluid and changing dynamic seals to resistantmaterials.

You can kamp fluid maka-up at a minimum with admquatm malntmnancm
The normal loss of Pydraul in a properly converted system will be no more than for petroleum fluids, and in many casea, it has been considerably less. The technique for holding down the make-up requirement for Pydraul is the same as for any fluid; namely, regular maintenance checks for loose joints. Losses of Pydraul in diecasting machines are generally as low as one pint, per eight-hour shift. If you reclaim leakage, your losses can be cut even further. It is not unusual to find the annual coat of hydraulic fluid actually decreases after Pydraul has been installed.
Packing and aaal Information
'
Availability of packings and seals for Pydraul fluids is no problem--manufacturers supply them in all configurations. Resistant materials are generally required only for dynamic (moving) seals. Static seals may be ordered in resistant materials if the user prefers. The chart at right lists the manufacturers who supply packings and seals resistant to Pydraul. The list is intended as a guide, and the equipment manufacturer or packing supplier should be contacted for latest recommendations.

To reclaim Pydraul, follow these simple Instructions
(You can actually reclaim Pydraul lost from leaks and spills because of its exceptional stability and resistance to water. If fluid losses are appreciable--such as in mining equipment that seems to leak despite careful maintenance--recovery of fluid can result in considerable savings. Simply placing a container beneath leaks until they can be repaired will save some fluid. Where drip pans have been'used beneath hydraulic machinery, more than half of the Pydraul purchased has been reclaimed. Savings like these reduce overall fluid costs and help make Pydraul the most economical straight synthetic fire-resistant fluid available.)
Reclaiming Pydraul consists of two steps: removing water, and filtering dirt or other

CHECK FOR LEAKS -- Check your en
tire system for leeks before you shut down. Mark any leaks for sealing after the system is drained.
DRAIN THE SYSTEM -- Drain your
present fluid as completely as possible from reservoir, linea and cylinders. Flush system with steam or warm water to avoid residual oil and water-glycol sludge that can reduce E'ydraut fluid flre-resietance. You may also be able to do this by opening unions at low spots La your system and blowing out with clean dry air. Seal any leaks.
CLEAN RESERVOIR AND FILTERS -- If your reservoir is
painted, -use a commercial paint remover or scrape out the Interior to prevent paint dete rioration later on. Wipe your reservoir clean with lint-free rags. Clean or change the car tridge In your Alter.
CHECK PUMPS -- Check your pumps
thoroughly for wear. Replace any worn parts.

If your noses undergo severe flexing, we recommend butyl or Teflon-lined hoses. Your accumulator diaphragms should be of butyl, Viton, EPR or silicone. Avoid buna elastomers, neoprene and natural rubber.
RECONNECT LINES -- Reconnect your

START ANO STOP PUMP-Withthe
hydraulic controls in neutral, start and sto^ your pump several times, without allowing the aystem to reach working pressure. This proce dure will lubricate the pump. Then you can leave the pump on to bring the system up to working pressure.
RUN THROUGH CYCLE-Run through

Animat toxicity studio* and human experi-
net indicate that tha Pydraul hydraulic
fluids may be used safely if a faw rson-
abla pracautions ara takan. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact should ba avoidad
not only to prevent absorption of tha mi-
tarlal and possible systemic affect but,
also, because the fluids are excellent sol
vents for tha oils normally present in the
skin. Thus, drying and irritation could
occur.
.
When splashed or sprayed Into the ayes, Pydraul causes painful smarting. There is no evidence, however, of any permanent
aye injury. In the event of accidental con tact with the eyes, the eyes should be flushed with copious amounts of water for 13 minutes and the workman referred to a physician; physicians have used 1% Panto caine solution and ophthalmic cortisone acetate solution to relieve irritation.
When Pydraul is kept at room temperature, it does not constitute a vapor Inhalation hazard except in a confined, unventilated space. Respiratory protection or mechani cal exhaust ventilation should ba provided if there is repeated and prolonged contact of tha fluid with heatad. surfseas with re suiting volatilization or possible decom position of the fluid. Where a ruptured oil hydraulic line near a white-hot surface means a fire, a ruptured hydraulic line containing Pydraul causes a vapor with an unpleasant odor that can help you locate the trouble. For short periods, sucii as turning off equipment following the rup ture of a hydraulic tins or other mechani cal failure, no protection is necessary.

I. INTRODUCTION
Aroclor 1248, chlorinated biphenyl, the safe and economical organic hydraulic fluid for metal dle-caatlng systems, eliminates the constant threat of serious fire hazard associated with the use of combustible hydraulic fluids in the die-casting industry.
There are not many available noncombustible organic fluids and only very few possess the over-all physioal requirements of hydraulic fluids for die-casting systems. Notwithstanding the possibility of sustaining costly fire damage when using relatively Inexpensive petroleum oils, the economics involved in replacing petroleum oils with the more expensive noncombustible organic hydraulio fluids is an important factor to the industry. In this connection, it is important to emphasize that Aroclor 1248 appears to be substantially less expensive than the few other available noncombustible organic hydraulic fluids for this purpose.
Aroclor 1248 has been used successfully in die-casting machines for many years and satisfactory continuous service records on Aroclor 1248 ex tend beyond ten years. It is used throughout the industry as widespread and leading die-casters have installed Aroclor 1248 to replace combus tible oils and also to replace other noncombustible organic fluids, because of the demonstrated good performance obtainable with Aroclor 1248 and because of its lower initial cost and lower "make-up" require ments in the system.
II. INDIVIDUALIZED DIE-CASTINO SYSTEMS
Aroclor 1248 has been used continuously for many years in individualized die-casting units using machines built by Lester Engineering Company
(13)* The Hydraulio Press Mfg. Co. (11), H. L. Harvill Mfg. Co. (9). and the Cleveland Automatic Machine Co. (4), as well as excellent home built" units. Frequently, these machines are equipped with vane type
centrifugal pumps such as the ones made by Vickers, Incorporated (21), but other types of centrifugals may also be used.
The Watson-Stlllman Company's (22) die-casting machines are used as individualized units equipped with Oilgear piston type pumps made by The Oilgear Company (15) Aroclor 1248 is suggested as a noncombustible hydraulic fluid for installations of this type.
In most instances, the normal operating temperature of the hydraulic
fluid is within the range of 80*-l20F. and this temperature may or
may not be controlled by Jaoketed water coolers, depending on the spe
cific design of the die-casting machine. Most of these machines use
60-200 gallons of the hydraulic fluid and operate at pressures ranging
as high as 1,000-3,000 p.s.l.

WATER PCB-SD0000074739
III. CENTRALIZED DIE-CASTING SYSTEMS
Aroclor 1248 has been In continuous satisfactory use for a number of years In centralized die-casting systems consisting of batteries of the machines connected to a central tank of the Aroclor hydraulic fluid. These systems are usually equipped with piston type pumps such as made by The Ollgear Company and have an accumulater In the line to maintain smooth operation. Such centralized systems may operate with 2,000 gallons, or even more, of Aroclor 1248. Systems of this type using Aroclor 1248 and Ollgear pumps have been in continuous service for a number of years with apparently satisfactory performance.
IV. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OP AROCLOR 1248
The physical properties of Aroclor 1248 are listed below with similar constants for Aroclor 1254. The reason for including Aroclor 1254 is that in some instances, especially for viscosity considerations, i't may be desirable to blend small portions of Aroclor 1254 with Aroclor 1248. Por more complete data about the low vapor pressure of Aroclors, their low vaporization rates, their viscosity ranges, their noncorrosive properties, high order of stability to heat and corrosive influences, as well as other pertinent qualities, please refer to Monsanto Techni cal Bulletin No. P-115 entitled, "The Aroclors" (14 bibliography reference).

V. NONCOMBUSTIBLE QUALITIES OP AROCLOR 1248
PLASH POINT. Limitations of this test for the prediction of the fire hazard of relatively nonvolatile organic fluids have been recognized by the ASTM committee (l).
FIRE POINT is a more significant measurement. The National Board of
Pire Underwriters Laboratories (20) concur that fire tests more truly
reflect the (lack of) fire hazard of Aroclor.
.
SPONTANEOUS IGNITION TEMPERATURE. The combustion resisting qualities of Aroclor 1248 are indicated by its high spontaneous ignition tempera ture of 704*C. (1,299F.) determined by Sullivan, Wolfe and Zisman (19), using the convenient apparatus described by Sortman, Beatty and
Heron (18).
Under industrial use conditions the spontaneous ignition temperature will be determined by factors including the nature of the hot surface, the amount of liquid lmplgnlng on it, the volume of enclosed space,
and the ventilation. In this connection, we wish to refer to an
4. NVF 003207
WATER PCB-SD0000074741
observation concerning the use of Aroclor 1248 as a noncombustible heat transfer medium in Aroclor heating systems. An accidental failure in one of our Aroclor heating systems demonstrated the nonflammability of Aroclor 1248 and its freedom from the hazard of fire propagation. An operator's failure to start the circulation of the heat-transfer medium when the gas heater was on resulted in excessive coll tempera tures, causing the lower coil (steel) to soften and sag into the fire chamber. A weld ruptured and Aroclor 1248 poured into the red hot fire chamber in contact with the flame. Smoke arose from the heater but there was no internal fire. After the gas flame was cut off, the smok ing stopped. SPRAY FLAMMABILITY. When a line ruptures in a die-casting system where the hydraulic fluid is under relatively high pressure, a spray or mist prevails. The possible fire hazard of Aroclor 1248 under these con ditions requires considerations not covered by the foregoing discussion relative to the material in the liquid form. In their comprehensive study, "Flammability of Higher Boiling Liquids and Their Mists", Sulliv Wolfe and Zisman determined the spray flammability limit of numerous materials in accordance with the percentage of oxygen required for com bustion. This value was then correlated with the results of incendiary firing tests of the fluid conducted at the Naval Proving around, Dahigren, Virginia. The per cent oxygen requirement for Aroclor 1248 combustion in the spray flammability limit studies was established at 64. It was observed that fluids requiring over 45-50# of oxygen in the 3pray test failed to cause a fire in the Incendiary test. These results firmly establish the nonflammable and noncombustible qualities of Aroclor 1248. Moreover, these results on spray flammability studies seem most pertinent since they reflect conditions prevailing in the case of pressurized systems such as used in metal die-casting. There fore, we are taking the liberty of presenting the data in the following Table II as taken from the publication by Sullivan, Wolfe and Zisman to compare this highly significant spray flammability rating given to selected chlorinated hydrocarbons, organic phosphates, etc. Benzene and a petroleum oil are included for comparison purposes.

VII. PACKINO MATERIALS AND (JASKETS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH AROCLOR 1248 IN DIE-CASTING SYSTEMS
Results of accelerated laboratory tests show that Hycar P. Koroseal, Perbunan, Neoprene and various other "rubbers" are softened by Aroclora. especially at elevated temperatures. Accordingly, questions arise about the use of these materials for gaskets on dle-castlng machines using Aroclor. However, from practical experience In the operation of die-oastlng machines, it has been noted that fittings, such as the ball Joints made by Chlksan Tool Company (3). containing a small Neoprene gasket have given very good service under long continuous use when Installed in die-casting systems operated with Aroclor. Also, Neoprene lined, metalized, flexible tubes used on the return lines of the dlecastlng machines appear to give good service with Aroclor. In some instances it appears almost necessary to use flexible tubes, especially on the return lines of the die-casting machines. If possible to do so, it would seem desirable to use rigid lines fitted with ball Joints such as made by Chlksan or Barco Swivel Joints (2).
For pipe connection, welded Joints are not necessary but in the case of welded flange connections, these may be satisfactorily gasketed by the use of a thin sheet of aluminum. Various packing materials suitable for use with Aroclor at elevated temperatures include Oarlock Packing Company's (8) #7021, 1/8 inch asbestos fiber sheet for flange connec tions. Oarlock's #117 braided packing is used in valves and Oarlock #234 packing is used for pumps; also, Oarlock #431 and Chevron 7050-C materials are suitable packings. Likewise. Durametalllc (6) spiral asbestos fiber may be used. Doubtless, Johns-Manville Corp. (12) and others have comparable packing materials which would be suitable. In all instances, when ordering packing, it should be Indicated to the supplier that the material is intended for use with Aroclor 1248.
Teflon, duPont's (7) polytetrafluroethylene, is not attacked by hot Aroclor (130#C.) and is to be recommended as a gasket material. Thioko is not attacked by Aroclors at ordinary temperatures and especially Thlokol I605-A appears of interest for use with Aroclors in die-casting systems. The maximum temperature ranges at which Thlokol is suitable are indicated as follows:
Thlokol Type A - 150-2008F. max. Thlokol Type FA - 150-200F. max. Thlokol Type ST - 250-300F. max.
Dow Coming's (5) Silastic, Silicone 180 is very resistant to hot Aroclor and use of thiB material is suggested. The changes in proper ties of Silicone 180 when immersed in hot Aroclor for 70 hours at 1508C. are summarized as follows:
NVF 003211
WATER PCB-SD0000074745
1. Lowering of the hardness by about 20 points. 2. Improvement in the elasticity by several points. 3. Practically no change In tensile strength. 4. An appreciable increase in the ultimate elongation.
Other types of packing materials recommended by the manufacturer for use in Aroclor installations include the following Palmetto (16) pack ings:
Hydraulic Service (Normal Temperatures)
Rod packing
U Ring packing Flange packing Kup packing Sheet packing St gaskets
- Palmetto Pyramid Packing #2510
- Palmetto U Ring Packing #2610 - Palmetto Flange Packing #2810 - Palmetto Kup Packing #2710 - Palmetto Hi-4 Sheet Packing #2910.
Heat-Transfer Service
Rod packing
- Palmetto High Pressure Packing #2200
Sheet packing St gaskets - Palmetto Hi-4 Sheet Packing #2910
With reference to the manufacturer and also the user of die-casting equipment, it is highly advantageous if the same packing materials generally used with oil can be used also with Aroclor 1248. In this connection, in the case of The Oilgear Company hydraulic equipment, it is noted that suoh paokings as Thiokol, which is used for gaskets,
and Oarlock #431, which is used as ram packings on most Oilgear equip ment, can be used either with oil or with Aroclor 1248.
Vickers, Incorporated advise that all packing materials will have to be other than those normally used for petroleum base fluids to prevent rapid deterioration, and these are available through Vickers, Incorpore for their own equipment, or many of the suppliers of standard sealing
elements.
VIII. LUBRICATION
Aroolor 1248 has lubricating properties and is used in die-casting systems most frequently without the addition of added lubricants. However, in the case of piston type pumps where high lubricity is a requirement, sometimes the practice is to add not more than of a hi. lubricity oil to the Aroclor. Oils of this type in use are DTE medium heavy high lubricity oil and Pennsylvania Refining Company's (17) #90 VI light stock oil. Other similar oils are available for this purpose
9.
NVF 003212
WATER PCB-SD0000074746
A roc lor 1248 la recognized In the Industry as an EP lubricant and Its heavy load carrying quality without seizure Is reflected by tests made with a hydraulic fluid containing a substantial proportion of Aroclor. The data pertains to results with an Almen test machine. During the standard tost, the hydraulic fluid carried the full 30-pound load nor mally used as maximum on the Almen test. The torque at maximum load
passed, average of 2 runs, was found to be 28.5 for the hydraulic fluid bull on Aroclor as compared with a value of 14.0 for SAE 10 motor oil.
IX. VISCOSITY
The viscosity of Aroclor 1248 seems to be within the range required In the normal operation of many industrial pumps and hydraulic equipment. As previously Indicated, the viscosity of Aroclor 1248 can be increased
by the addition of Aroclor 1254. In light of the influence of tempera ture on the viscosity of Aroclor, this factor should be given considers tion with reference to the operation of the pumps or hydraulic system
in which Aroclor is used.
As a general Indication of the viscosity requirements for different types of pumps, Vickers, Incorporated specifies the following for use
with its pumps:
Industrial Machinery Installations (Ambient Temperatux'e 50 *P. to 90* P.")
Type of Installation
Oil Viscosity
Vane Type Pumps
Machine tools operating at 150-225 S.S.U. pressures up to 1000 p.s.l 100F.
Presses and other heavy machinery
275-315 S.S.U.
@ 100F.
Piston Type Pumps
All industrial machinery
275-315 S.S.U. @ 100F.
Piston Type and
Gear Type Fluid Motors
All industrial machinery
150-315 S.S.U.
<9.1008F.
Vickers recommends that the oil temperatures in the hydraulic circuit should be maintained between 60 and 1308F. If, for reasons of non operation for extended periods, the temperature drops below 60 P., thn
fluid should be warmed to that temperature before starting operations.
NVF 003213
10.
WATER PCB-SD0000074747
Coolers should be provided to prevent temperatures in excess of 1309F., which will comply with the temperatures demanded by the Joint Industry' Conference Hydraulic Standards, and should also avoid the necessity of having to use vent ducks from any open or semi-open reservoir.
Referring to the fact that the specific gravity of Aroclor 1248 is greater than the similar value of average petroleum base fluids used, inlet conditions to pumps should be carefully scrutinized to insure the absence of cavitation.
X. FILTRATION
It seems prudent to maintain clean oil regardless of the specific hydraulic fluid used in die-casting systems. Small particles of dirt, metal chips and sand from the castings seem to work their way into the hydraulic fluid whether the installation is a new one or one that has been in service for many years. Aroclor 1248 has a tendency to suspend such impurities. Although it is not always practiced, neverthelese, it seems important to provide adequate filtration so that abrasive particles are removed from the system and the Aroclor 1248 is kept clean.
Many die-casting machines are equipped with internal fine mesh wire screens. These filters are suitable for removing the larger particles, but to keep the Aroclorin a satisfactorily clean condition, the recom mendation is to filter the Aroclor through a bed of suitably processed granular Fuller's earth. There are available a number of satisfactory filtering mechanisms or oil purifiers which may be used continuously or intermittently. Probably one of these filters available as a con venient portable model would be the most economical as it could be used to clean the oil in a number of die-casting machines. Ab one example of a supplier of such equipment, we wish to refer to the Honan-Crane Corporation (10).
XI. DERMATOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY
Results of standard skin patch tests using over 100 individuals show that Aroclor 1254 is neither a skin irritant nor a skin sensitizer (14). We would expect that these results would serve to indicate that Aroclor 1248, which is only slightly lower in chlorine content than Aroclor 1254, is also neither a skin irritant nor a skin sensitizer.
Although the vapor pressure of Aroclor 1248 is quite low and for all practical purposes the material is nonvolatile, nevertheless, when Aroclors are heated to elevated temperatures, vapors arise and these vapors bear a degree of toxicity and should not be breathed. This
11. NVF 003214
WATER PCB-SD0000074748
consideration Is, of course, minimized in the case of using Aroclor 1248 in die-casting'systems, which are necessarily thoroughly enclosed to prevent even the smallest kind of a leak, and the operating tempera ture is relatively low since practical operation never exceeds about 140F. Aroclor 1248 has been used for over ten years in individualized and centralized`die-casting systems with '?mplete freedom from any trouble or fear of any toxic effects. If Aroclor 1248 comes in contact with the worker's skin, the skin should be washed in an ordinary manner with soap and water. If the Aroclor is sufficiently hot so as to cause a burn when in contact with the skin, the burn should be treated in the same manner as any ordinary burn. Aroclor adhering to the burned area need not be removed immediately unless treatment of the burn demands it, in which case soap and water or repeated washings with a vegetable oil is recommended.

I. INTRODUCTION Aroolor 1248, chlorinated biphenyl, the safe and economical organic hydraulic fluid for metal die-casting systems, eliminates the constant threat of serious fire hazard associated with the use of combustible hydraullo fluids in the die-casting industry. There are not many available noncombustible organic fluids and only very few possess the over-all physical requirements of hydraulic fluids for die-'oasting systems. Notwithstanding the possibility of sustaining costly fire damage when using relatively Inexpensive petroleum oils, the economics involved in replacing petroleum oils with the more expensive nonoombustible organic hydraulic fluids is an important factor to the industry. In this connection, it is important to emphasize that Aroclor 1248 appears to be substantially less expensive than the few other available noncombustible organic hydraulic fluids for this purpose. Aroclor 1248 has been used successfully in die-casting machines for many years and satisfactory continuous servioe records on Aroclor 1248 ex tend beyond ten years. It is used throughout the industry as widespread and leading die-casters have Installed Aroclor 1248 to replace combus tible oils and also to replace other noncombustible organic fluids, beoause of the demonstrated good performance obtainable with Aroclor 1248 and because of its lower initial cost and lower "make-up" require ments in the system.
II. INDIVIDUALIZED DIE-CASTING SYSTEMS Aroolor 1248 has been used continuously for many years in individualized die-casting units using machines built by Lester Engineering Company (13), The Hydraulic Press Mfg. Co. (11), H. L. Harvlll Mfg. Co. (9), and the Cleveland Automatic Machine Co. (4), as well as excellent home built" units. Frequently, these machines are equipped with vane type centrifugal pumps such as the ones made by Vickers, Incorporated (21), but other types of centrifugals may also be used. The Watson-Stillman Company's (22) die-casting machines are used as individualized units equipped with Oilgear piston type pumps made by The Oilgear Company (15). Aroclor 1248 is suggested as a noncombustible hydraulic fluid for installations of this type. In most instances, the normal operating temperature of the hydraulic fluid is within the range of 80*-1209P. and this temperature may or may not be controlled by Jacketed water coolers, depending on the spe cific design of the die-casting machine. Most of these machines use 60-200 gallons of the hydraullo fluid and operate at pressures ranging as high as 1,000-3,000 p.s.i.

WATER PCB-SD0000074752
III. CENTRALIZED DIE-CASTINO SYSTEMS
Aroclor 1248 has been In continuous satisfactory use for a number of years In centralized dle-castlng systems consisting of batteries of the machines connected to a central tank of the Aroclor hydraulic fluid. These systems are usually equipped with piston type pumps such as made
by The Oilgear Company and have an accumulater in the line to maintain smooth operation. Such centralized systems may operate with 2,000 gallons, or even more, of Aroclor 1248, Systems of this type using
Aroclor 1248 and Oilgear pumps have been in continuous service for a number of years with apparently satisfactory performance.
17. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF AROCLOR 1248
The physical properties of Aroclor 1248 are listed below with similar constants for Aroclor 1254. The reason for Including Aroclor 1254 is
that in some instances, especially for viscosity considerations, it may be desirable to blend small portions of Aroclor 1254 with Aroclor 1248. For more complete data about the low vapor pressure of Aroclors, their
low vaporization rates, their viscosity ranges, their noncorrosive properties, high order of stability to heat and corrosive influences, as well as other pertinent qualities, please refer to Monsanto Techni
cal Bulletin No. P-115 entitled, "The Aroclors" (14 bibliography reference).

V. NONCOMBUSTIBLE QUALITIES OP AROCLOR 1248
PLASH POINT. Limitations of this test for the prediction of the fire hazard of relatively nonvolatile organic fluids have been recognized by the ASTM committee (l).
FIRE POINT Is a more significant measurement. The National Board of Fire Underwriters Laboratories (20) concur that fire tests more truly reflect the (iaok of) fire hazard of Aroclor.
SPONTANEOUS IGNITION TEMPERATURE. The oombustion resisting qualities of Aroclor 1248 are indicated by its high spontaneous ignition tempera ture of 704*C. (1,299#P.) determined by Sullivan, Wolfe and Zisman (19), using the convenient apparatus described by Sortman, Beatty and
Heron (18).
Under industrial use conditions the spontaneous ignition temperature will be determined by factors including the nature of the hot surface, the amount of liquid Impinging on it, the volume of enclosed space, and the ventilation. In this connection, we wiBh to refer to an
WATER PCB-SD0000074754
observation concerning the use of Aroclor 1248 as a noncombustible heattransfer medium in Aroclor heating systems. An accidental failure In one of our Aroclor heating systems demonstrated the nonflammability of Aroclor 1248 and its freedom from the hazard of fire propagation.
An operator's failure to start the circulation of the heat-transfer medium when the gas heater was on resulted In excessive coil tempera tures, causing the lower coil (steel) to soften and sag Into the fire chamber. A weld ruptured and Aroclor 1248 poured into the red hot fire chamber In contact with the flame. Smoke arose from the heater but there was no internal fire. After the gas flame was cut off, the smok ing stopped.
SPRAY FLAMMABILITY. When a line ruptures in a die-casting system where the hydraulic fluid is under relatively high pressure, a spray or mist prevails. The possible fire hazard of Aroclor 1248 under these con ditions requires considerations not covered by the foregoing discussions relative to the material in the liquid form. In their comprehensive study, "Flammability of Higher Boiling Liquids and Their Mists", Sullivan, Wolfe and Zisman determined the spray flammability limit of numerous materials in accordance with the percentage of oxygen required for com bustion. This value was then correlated with the results of incendiary firing tests of the fluid conducted at the Naval Proving Ground, Dahlgren, Virginia. The per cent oxygen requirement for Aroclor 1248 combustion in the spray flammability limit studies was established at 64$. It was observed that fluids requiring over 45-50# of oxygen in the spray test failed to cause a fire in the incendiary test. These results, firmly establish the nonflammable and noncombustible qualities of Aroclor 1248. Moreover, these results on spray flammability studies seem most pertinent since they reflect conditions prevailing in the case of pressurized systems such as UBed in metal die-casting. There fore, we are taking the liberty of presenting the data in the following Table II as taken from the publication by Sullivan, Wolfe and Zisman to compare this highly significant spray flammability rating given to selected chlorinated hydrocarbons, organic phosphates, etc. Benzene and a petroleum oil are included for comparison purposes.

In light of the importance of spray flammability as demonstrated to be the most significant determination of the noncombustible qualities of
higher boiling fluids and their mists, it is indeed interesting to note the lack of correlation between this value and other constants, such as

flash point, fire point and especially the spontaneous Ignition tempera ture .
VI.- RESISTANCE OP STRUCTURAL MATERIALS TO AROCLOR 1248
The noncorrosive qualities of Aroclor 1248 and the strong resistance of structural materials to Aroclor 1248 are highly important factors in the practical use of Aroclor as a hydraulic medium in die-casting sys
tems. The following Table III Indicates the resistance of structural materials to Aroclors 1248 and 1254.

VII. PACKING MATERIALS AND GASKETS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH AROCLOR 1248 IN DIE-CASTING SYSTEMS
.
Results of accelerated laboratory tests show that Hycar P., Koroseal,
Perbunan, Neoprene and various other "rubbers" are softened by Aroclors
especially at elevated temperatures. Accordingly, questions arise
'
about the use of these materials for gaskets on dle-castlng machines
using Aroclor. However, from practical experience in the operation of
dle-castlng machines, it has been noted that fittings, such as the ball
Joints made by Chiksan Tool Company (3), containing a small Neoprene
gasket have given very good service under long continuous use when
Installed In dle-castlng systems operated with Aroclor. Also, Neoprene
lined, metalized flexible tubes used on the return lines of the dle-
castlng machines appear to give good service with Aroclor. In some
instances it appears almost necessary to use flexible tubes, especially
on the return lines of the die-casting machines. If possible to do so,
it would seem desirable to use rigid lines fitted with ball Joints
such as made by Chiksan or Barco Swivel Joints (2).
,
For pipe connection, welded Joints are not necessary but in the case of welded flange connections, these may be satisfactorily gasketed by the use of a thin sheet of aluminum. Various packing materials suitable
for use with Aroclor at elevated temperatures include Oarlock Packing Company's (8) #7021, 1/8 inch asbestos fiber sheet for flange connec
tions. Oarlock's #117 braided packing ia used in valves and Oarlock #234 packing is used for pumps; also, Oarlock #431 and Chevron 7050-C materials are suitable packings. Likewise, Durametallic (6) spiral
asbestos fiber may be used. Doubtless, Johns-Manville Corp. (12) and others have comparable packing materials which would be suitable. In all instances, when ordering paoking, it should be indicated to the supplier that the material is intended for use with Aroclor 1248.
Teflon, duPont's (7) polytetrafluroethylene, is not attacked by hot Aroc Lor (130C.) and la to be recommended as a gasket material. Thiokol is not attacked by Aroclors at ordinary temperatures and especially Thiokol 1605-A appears of interest for use with Aroclors in die-casting systems. The maximum temperature ranges at which Thiokol is suitable
are indicated as follows:
Thiokol Type A - 150-200F. max. Thiokol Type FA - 150#-200*F. max. Thiokol Type ST - 250*-300F. max.
Dow Coming's (5) Silastic, Silicone 180 is very resistant to hot Aroclor and use of this material is suggested. The changes in proper ties of Silicone 180 when immersed in hot Aroclor for 70 hours at
150*0. are summarized as follows:
fiVF 003224
8.
WATER PCB-SD0000074758
1. Lowering of the hardness by about 20 points. 2. Improvement In the elasticity by several points.
3. Practically no change In tensile strength 4. An appreciable Increase in the ultimate elongation.
Other types of packing materials recommended by the manufacturer for
use in Aroclor installations Include the following Palmetto (16) pack ings:
Hydraulic Service (Normal Temperatures)
Rod packing
- Palmetto Pyramid Packing #2510
U Ring packing
- Palmetto U Ring Packing #2610
Flange packing
- Palmetto Flange Packing #2810
Kup packing
- Palmetto Kup Packing #2710
Sheet packing & gaskets - Palmetto Hi-4 Sheet Packing #2910 . '
Heat-Transfer Service
Rod packing
- Palmetto High Pressure Packing #2200
Sheet packing & gaskets - Palmetto Hi-4 Sheet Packing #2910
With reference to the manufacturer and also the user of die-casting equipment, it is highly advantageous if the same packing materials generally used with oilcan be used also with Aroclor 1248. In this connection, in the case of the Oilgear Company hydraulic equipment,
it is noted that such packings as Thiokol, which is used for gaskets, and Oarlock #431# which is used as ram packings on most Oilgear equip ment, can be used either with oil or with Aroclor 1248.
VickerS, Incorporated advise that all packing materials will have to be
other than those normally used for petroleum base fluids to prevent rapid deterioration, and these are available through Vickers, Incorporate for their own equipment, or many of the suppliers of standard sealing
elements.
VIII. LUBRICATION
Aroolor 1248 has lubricating properties and is used in. die-casting systems most frequently without the addition of added lubricants. However, in the case of piston type pumps where high lubricity is a
requirement, sometimes the practice is to add not more than 5$ of a high lubricity oil to the Aroclor. Oils of this type in use are DTE medium
heavy high lubricity oil and Pennsylvania Refining Company's (17) #90 VI light stock oil. Other similar oils are available for this purpose.
NVF 003225

WATER PCB-SD0000074759
Aroclor 1248 Is recognized In the Industry as an EP lubricant and Its heavy load carrying quality without seizure Is reflected by tests made with a hydraulic fluid containing a substantial proportion of Aroclor. The data pertains to results with an Almen test machine. During the * standard test, the hydraulic fluid carried the full 30-pound load nor
mally used as maximum on the Almen test. , The torque at maximum load
passed, average of 2 runs, was found to be 28.5 for the hydraulic fluid built on Aroclor as compared with a value of 14.0 for SAE 10 motor oil.
IX. VISCOSITY
The viscosity of Aroclor 1248 seems to be within the range required In
the normal operation of many industrial pumps and hydraulic equipment.
As previously indicated, the viscosity of Aroclor 1248 can be increased by the addition of Aroclor 1254. In light of the Influence of tempera ture on the viscosity of Aroclor, this factor should be given considera tion with reference to the operation of the pumps or hydraulic system in which Aroolor is used.
As a general indication of the viscosity requirements for different
types of pumps, Vickers, Incorporated specifies the following for use with Its pump8:
Industrial Machinery Installations (Ambient Temperature 50F. to 90F.)
Type of Installation
Oil Viscosity
Vane Type Pumps
Machine tools operating at pressures up to 1000 p.s.i.
150-225 S.S.U. @ 100F.
Presses and other heavy machinery
275-315 S.S.U. 9 100P.
Piston Type Pumps All industrial machinery
275-315 S.S.U. 9 100P.
Piston Type and Oear Type Fluid Motors
All industrial machinery
150-315 S.S.U. 9 100F.
Vickers recommends that the oil temperatures in the hydraulic circuit
should be maintained between 60 and 130F. . If, for reasons of non operation for extended periods, the temperature drops below 60F., the fluid should be warmed to that temperature before starting operations.
NVF 003226
10.
WATER PCB-SD0000074760
Coolers Bhould be provided to prevent temperatures In excess of 130?., which will comply with the temperatures demanded by the Joint Industry .
Conference Hydraulic Standards, and should also avoid the necessity of having to use vent ducts from any open or semi-open reservoir.
Referring to the fact that the specific gravity of Aroclor 1248 is
greater than the similar value of average petroleum base fluids used,
inlet conditions to pumps should be carefully scrutinized to insure the
absence of cavitation.
X. FILTRATION
It seems prudent to maintain clean oil regardless of the specific
hydraulic fluid used in die-casting systems. Small particles of dirt
metal chips and sand from the castings seem to work their way into the hydraulic fluid whether the installation is a new one or one that has been in service for many years. Aroclor 1248 has a tendency to suspend such impurities. Although it is not always practiced, nevertheless, it seems important to provide adequate filtration so that abrasive particles are removed from the system and the Aroclor 1248 is kept clean.
Many die-oasting machines are equipped with internal fine mesh wire screens. These filters are suitable for removing the larger particles but to keep the Aroolor in a satisfactory clean condition, the recom mendation is to filter the Aroclor through a bed of suitably processed granular Fuller's earth. There are available a number of satisfactory
filtering mechanisms or oil purifiers which may be used continuously or intermittently. Probably one of these filters available as a con venient portable model would be the most economical as it could be used to clean the oil in a number of die-casting machines. Ab one example of a supplier of such equipment, we wish to refer to the Honan-Crane
Corporation (10).
_ XI. DERMATOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY
Results of standard skin patch tests using over 100 individuals show that Aroclor 1254 is neither a skin irritant nor a skin sensitizer (14). We would expeot that these results would serve to indicate that Aroclor 1248, which is only slightly lower in chlorine content than Aroclor 1254, is also neither a skin irritant nor a skin sensitizer.
Although the vapor pressure of Aroclor 1248 is quite low and for all practical purposes the material is nonvolatile, nevertheless, when Aroolors are heated to elevated temperatures, vapors arise and these vapor* bear a degree of toxicity and should not be breathed. This
NVF 003227
WATER PCB-SD0000074761
consideration Is, of.course, minimized in the case of using Aroclor
1248 in die-casting systems, which are necessarily thoroughly enclosed
to prevent even the smallest ture is relatively low since
kind of a practical
leak, and operation
the operating never exceeds
temperaabout
1409P.
Aroclor 1249 has been used for over ten years in individualized and centralized die-casting systems with complete freedom from any trouble
or fear of any toxic effects. If Aroolor 1248 comes in contact with
the worker's skin, the skin should be washed in an ordinary manner with
soap and water. If the Aroclor is sufficiently hot so as to cause a burn when in contact with the skin, the burn should be treated in the
same manner as any ordinary burn. Aroclor adhering to the burned area
need not be removed immediately unless treatment of the burn demands it,
in which case soap and water or repeated washings with a vegetable oil
is reoommended.

Dear
Perhaps you are aware of the polyehlorinatjd biphenyl (?C2) environ mental pollution problem. If not, then the attacned material should provide background information.
The significance of this information is no longer oan we dump scrap Aroclor or spent transform.or ^.slcarel down the sever. Indiscriminate
dumping of suen nuterial can lead to serious repercussions for Che electrical industry, For this reason Monsanto ia building an incin erator which will be ready some time daring the first part of 1971
Effective immediately, you ir.sy ship scrap material for incineration, at your expanse, in p3 gal. arunuj, to the U, Ci. ilruvorich Plant, Sauget, Illinois, Attention Supervisor, Dept. 246. he have tenta
tively set a 3d per Id. incineration charge. However, this io sub ject to change based on our operational experience with this uni*.
Please use the attached label on all drums of scrap to be returned
for incineration. These may be obtained, at no cost, by writing tt the Supervisor, :ie?t. 246, U.G.K, Plant.
Additionally, we are working with the Rcllir.s ?urlo Company which is operating on incinerator in Hew Jersey, As scon as we can in spect th_s unit and give it cur approval, v;o will negocio-ts a pr.ce
for their service, I lope rally choir o-.urge will be in the 25^ to ;'V per gallon range inc.ludlng freight. This coupany r.: pa s to cons trust similar units in 100 locations through out the United bCures.
In line with this program we v;ould appreciate your supplying the
number of gallons of scrap you expect to generate during 1971 end
also a forecast for your 1971 Aroclor or transformer askarel re
quirements .

Wa feel that all possible ear* should ba taka a in the application, proce ning and affluent disposal of these products to prevent them becoming environ mental contaminants.. Of interest to you may be an article in Chemical Weak, October 29, 1969, regarding water pollution standards set by each state in the Union. It is attached. This article reflects that good manufacturing practice in the future may require that no product used by any company should find their way into waterways.
We realise that you have marketed or may now market transformers and
other slsetrical equipment containing dielectric fluids which include
-
Arcelor* 1234 and 1260. Although these fluids are sealed into such equip
ment it is recognised that occasionally the fluid may be lost through leaks
resulting from equipment misuse or equipment repair necessitating replace
ment of the fluid. Since the dielectric fluid contained in this equipment
is only an incidental part of the over-all unit manufactured by you, we are
not notifying the purchasers of such equipment of the potential environmental
contamination problem described in this letter. We do recommend, however,
that you notify such equipment users of this problem.
Sincerely yours.

MONSANTO REPLIES TO CHARGE THAT PCB THREATENS ENVIRONMENT
ST. LOUTS, April 10 -- Monsanto Company said today it
was vail svere of eh# concern ovsr possible environmental
contamination by polychlorinatad biphanyl (PCB), an industrial '
chemical made by the company. The cotspany began a six-point
program in 1966 to properly identify and measure PCI in the
environment. Steps have been taken to strictly control use of
the chemical and replace those grades of PCB which linger in
nature.
Monsanto's statement came in response to charges by
Congressman William ?. Ryan (Dam.) of New York that the discovery
of PCB in the ecology represented a major threat.
Howard L. Mlnckler, Monsanto vice president and general
manager of its Organic Chemicals Division, said, "We have and
will continue to eooperete fully with governmental agencies
investigating this problem. We also have been in close contact
with our customers. Monsanto has spent over $1 million to
verify or correct scientific reports, monitor the use of PCB
and search for substitute products where needed. This program
will be successfully concluded this yesr.

"It is unfortunate that Congreiiman Ryan evidently
did not-hava all thla information at hia disposal. Just laic
month wa partlclpatad In a U.S. Department of tha Intarior
meeting where wa exchanged idaaa with soma 40 iciantlata and
told tham of our findings and actionsMincklar said.
Tha Monsanto axacutive also notad that tha use of
PCB is misunderstood by soma Invastigators. "For example, we
do not know of any current use of PCB in insecticides. Evan so,
wa are asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture to reject any
insecticide which has PCB as an inert carrier," Mincklar said.
"PCB is not a household pro4uct, as some have suggested,"
Mincklar continued. "To our knowledge, it is not used in plastic
food wraps, house paints, cellophane, asphalt or tires. The
principal market is electrical applications where the chemical
performs a vital function as an insulating fluid. In this use,
PCB is completely sealed in a metal container. Other major
markets employ similar closed systems."
Monsanto's PCB program was initially directed at proper
Identification of chlorinated hydrocarbons appearing in the
i
environment. This research, confirmed by others, found only
the higher chlorinated materials. At the same time, Monsanto
undertook animal feeding studies which show PCB is not a highly
toxic material.

The second pert of Monsanto's investigation uu coordination with all customers and a rigid critique of lea PCI manufacturing units. Although loaa of PCB during nanufaccur ing was negligible, production techniquea vers further modernised and new pollution abatement devices are continually being upgraded.
Monsanto has concentrated its further reaearch on thoae few PCI compounds vhlch degrade slowly. Alternate produces for these grades, which retain the functional properties of PCI and present no potential threat, will be introduced later this year.
Mlnckler concluded, 'fcdnsento la sacking the beat solution to this potential environmental problem. Action not based on reason and selantlflc facts can only result in greetsr problems. For example, we have been advised by one electrical equipment manufacturer that an lsmedlate ban on PCB would result in major power fellurea throughout the world. This is not the answer. Proper use of this vital chemical and substitution, where appropriate, is the answer."

studies, sponsored by Monsaneo and using the usual species of
laboratory animals, have failed to produce such effaces.
"Scare eaceics and sensational reporting do not serve
the public interest nor solve ecological problems," he said.-
"Only a few reports have stated why PCIa were ever developed and
why they are used today. Nor have the consequences of not using
PCB been explained.
"Vhac should be emphasized," Mlncklar continued, "Is
chat PCI was developed over 40 years ago primarily for use as
a coolant In electrical tranaformers and capacitors. It Is also
used In coemerclal heating and cooling systems. It Is not a
'household' Item.
"Anyone who lives In a large city is familiar with power
failures. During periods of peak power needs, air conditioning
and refrigeration fall, lights go out and commuters are stranded.
If power companies were to remove PCB from equipment, we

Gustafson of tha Padaral Vatar Quality Administration appearing In "Environmental Sclance k Technology" and dealing with this subject is attached for your information. Because of Monsanto*s concern over this problem, we hava discon tinued sales of PCBs where tha usage waa in so-called "open systems." We hava discontinued sales of Therminol* PR materials where tha usage would be in food prooeaalng applications. In addition, we hava encouraged Thenalnol* PR fluid customers to switch to other materials. As a result of theas efforts, many of our haat tranafar fluid customers hava switched from Themlnol* PR series fluids to other materials or systems. Our action in discontinuing salat for uaa in heat transfer aystarns has baan taken because of the problems which may arise should there occur accidental laakage of PCBa from such systems. Wa believe this action is in the beet interest of all our customsra who hava continued using these materials in heat transfer applications.

The ability of the female bird to

hihited the ability to lay normal eggs
are in reeled with a metabolite of dot

the eggshell, they will ley thin-shelled eggs This indicates that nr alto in
hibits the activity of carbonic anby-
draie. the eiuyme that controls the tow of calcium frwn tht blood stream
of the bird into its oviduct. Since dieidrin seeme to have no
effect on carbonic anhydraae, we may assume that neither do the are's. How ever. these compounds delay breeding time significantly. Many ornithoiogitu
feci that late breeding haa a stronger
influence on the reduction of bird populations then docs the laying of
