CONTACT REPORT 

From: Madeleine Strum, US EPA, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Emission 

Standards Division, Coatings and Consumer Products Group, Phone: 919 541 2383 fax (5689) 

Date of Contact: December 10, 1996 

Contact: David Prior 

Company/Agency: Ashland Chemical Company 

Telephone Number: 909 985 9850 (phone) 7315 (fax number) 

i$»s*. EPA AIR DOCKET 

CONTACT SUMMARY: 

Mr. Prior was contacted to get more information on two of Ashland's resins: UB1043-11 and 

LB1043-02, which were each reported (on the attached material safety data sheets [MSDS]) to 

have 28 % by weight hazardous air pollutant (ETAP) monomer. Tnese resins are used by 

Bristol Fiberlite for making sky lights. Mr. Prior confirmed the values on the MSDS and 

confirmed that no other HAP are contained in these resins. Mr. Prior confirmed that these 

resins axe orthophthalic. 

Mr. Prior was asked about the low quantity of HAP contained in this resin. Mr. Prior stated 

that flame retardant contained in these resins helps to lower the viscosity. This, in turn, allows 

a monomer content as low as 28% by weight to be used. Mr. Prior staled that the fire 

retardant acts as a plasticizer and, as such, results in a produa with reduced physical 

properties (strength) than a produa made with a resin which does not have a plasticizer. 

Mr. Prior stated that he knew of no other application than the sky lights for which these resins 

are used.

C 3 . HAZARD!) IDENTIFICATION 

Potentia l Health effects 

Eye 

Exposure causes eye irritation. 

redness, and swelling. 

Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, 

Skin 

Exposure causes skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated exposure may dry the 

skin. Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying and cracking, skin burns 

and skin damage. Skin absorption is possible, but harmful effects are not 

expected from this route of exposure under normal conditions of handling and 

use. 

Swallowing 

Single dose oral toxicity is low. Swallowing small amounts during normal 

handling is not likely to cause harmful effects; swallowing large amounts may 

be harmful. This material can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting 

and cause lung inflammation and/or damage. 

Inhalation 

Exposure to vapor or mist is possible. Exposure to aerosol and/or mist is 

possible when material is sprayed. Aerosol and mist may present a greater risk 

of injury because more material may be present in the air than from vapor 

alone. Short-term inhalation toxicity is low. Breathing small amounts during 

normal handling is not likely to cause narmful effects; breathing large amounts 

may be harmful, symptoms are more typically seen at air concentrations 

exceeding the recommended exposure limits.
