Contact Summary: 

Mr. Thomas Eber was contacted on behalf of the U.S. HHA to update information provided 

in the 1993 EPA Reinforced Plastic Composites Screening Survey submitted by Oxford CMP, Inc. 

for their facility located in Oxford, Mississippi. In response to my questions Mr. Eber indicated die 

following: 

The facility uses polymer casting and atomized spray lay-up (gel coats only) to produce hath 

tubs, bathroom vanity tops, whirlpools, panels, shower bases, columns, and miscellaneous trim 

pieces. 

The facility uses atomired spray lay-up (via an HVLP spray gun) to apply a clear gel coat 

in the fabrication of the products listed above. The facility does not use pigmented production gel 

coats in die fabrication of any product. The clear gel coat used by the facility contains SO.0% HAP 

by weight (SO.0% styrene and 0.0% methyl methacrylate). No additional HAP is added lo this clear 

gel coat during or prior to the fabrication process with the exception of small amounts of HAP that 

may (or may not) be present in initiators, promoters and/or catalysts added to the clear get coat. 

The facility uses a casting machine to conduct the mixing and polymer casting operations 

necessary to produce the products listed above. The resin, filler, and catalyst are mixed in a mixing 

lube thai is located inside die casting machine. The casting machine is completely closed during the 

mixing operation. After the mixing process is completed the resulting mixture is ejected from the 

casting machine into an empty open mold (or molds). 

Hie polyester resin used by the facility for its polymer casting operations contains 30.43% 

HAP by weight as supplied (30.43% styrene and 0.0% methyl methacrylate) and docs not contain 

a vapor suppressant. No additional HAP is added to the polyester resin during or prior to the 

polymer casting process with the exception of small amounts of HAP that may (or may not) be 

present in initiators, promoters And/or catalysts added to the resin. The facility has reduced the gel 

time of the polyester resin from approximately 30-40 minutes to approximately 12-14 minutes in 

uidei to reduce the amount of HAP emitted during the curing process.

The facility uses the process of hand lay-up (bucket <k brush) to apply a polyester resin in 

the manufacture of molds. The molds arc used only by the facility. The polyester resin used for 

mold manufacturing contains 50.0% HAP by weight (50.0% styiene and 0.0% methyl meihacrylate). 

No additional HAP is added to the polyester resin during or prior to the mold manufacturing prowess 

with the exception of small amounts of HAP that may (or may not) be present in initiators, promoters 

and/or catalysts added to the resin. 

The facility use9 atomized 9pray lay-up (via an HVLP spray gun) to apply a pigmented 

tooling gel coat in the manufacture of the molds discussed above. The tooling gel coat used by the 

facility contains "W.0% te 41.0% HAP by weight (39.0% to 41.0% styrene and 0.0% methyl 

methacrylate). No additional HAP is added to this tooling gel coat during or prior to the fabrication 

piocess with the exception of small amounts of HAP that may (or may not) be present in initiators, 

promoters and/or catalysts added to the tooling gel coat.
