Mr. Ferris Callihan 

Manager, Environmental Health and Safety 

Aristech Chemical Corporation 

600 Grant Street, Suite 1090 

Pittsburgh, PA 15230 

Dear Mr. Callihan: 

piiora 

|MU OCT I 91.3 5 '•fri 

W t 3. 

In response to your request during our telephone conversation on April 

21, 1993, this letter summarizes the type of information that we are seeking 

on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Under Section 112 of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, EPA is 

developing national emission standards pertaining to hazardous air pollutant 

(HAP) emissions from the plastic composites production source category. I 

have enclosed the HAP list from Section 112. These new standards will affect 

manufacturing operations at new and existing facilities where end-products are 

fabricated from resin matrices. The source category does not include the 

production facilities where the resins, gel coats, reinforcements, etc., are 

themselves produced. In this early stage of the project, EPA is collecting 

technical background information on the component materials, processes, and 

control measures in use within the industry, as well as other general industry 

information that will support the future standards. 

The EPA has contracted Pacific Environmental Services, Inc. (PES) 

(Contract No. 68D10116) to obtain information necessary for the development of 

standards. As a designated representative of the Agency, PES is subject to 

the provisions of 42 U.S.C. 7414(c) respecting confidentiality of methods or 

processes entitled to protection as trade secrets. 

We have contacted Aristech due to the company's prominent position in 

supplying resin materials to the plastic composites industry. The EPA wishes 

to understand the range of thermoset and thermoplastic polyester resins 

supplied to the plastic composites industry, their compositions, applications, 

and properties. Since the focus of the information gathering is to understand 

ways of reducing HAP emissions (styrene and any others listed in Title III of 

the 1990 Amendments), we are particularly interested in resins and gel coats 

(in use or under development) that utilize reduced styrene, vapor 

suppressants, monomer substitution, or other means to minimize or eliminate 

HAP emissions during application and curing. We would also appreciate 

receiving information on any additional areas relating to HAP control 

measures, or contacts known to Aristech who may be able to provide such 

information.
