H.B. Fuller Company World Headquarters 1200 Willow Lake Boulevard P.O. 64683 St. Paul, MN 55164-0683 April 17, 2013 Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics Document Control Office (7407M) U.S. EPA 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20460 Dear PMN Program Manager: Enclosed please find documents for PMN submission TS-13BR01. Please note, one of the reactants we use to make our new polymer is not yet on TSCA. Our raw material supplier, Bayer Material Science, recently submitted a PMN for it, and I believe the 90-day review period is in progress. This reactant is CAS number 185700-61-2. During our research and development work, Bayer supplied this reactant to H.B. Fuller under the trade name Desmodur E XP 2715. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding our PMN. Kind regards, Pam Svedberg Chemical Control Law Specialist H.B. Fuller Company pam.svedberg@hbfuller.com Phone: 651-236-5184 Fax: 651-236-5125
