# OPTIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATION To claim information in this section as confidential circle orbracket the specific information that you claim as confidential. 

# In this section you may provide information not reported elsewhere in this form regarding your efforts to reduce or minimize potential risks associated with activities surrounding manufacturing, processing, use and disposal ofthe PMN substance. Please include new information pertinent to pollution prevention, including source reduction, recycling activities and safer processes or products available due to the new chemical substance. Source reduction i 

# includes the reduction in the amountor toxicity of chemical wastes by technological modification, process and procedure modification, product reformulation, raw materials substitution, and/or inventory control. Recycling refers to the reclamation ofuseful chemical components from wastes that would otherwise be 

# treated or released as air

# emissions or water discharges, or land disposal. Descriptions ofpollution prevention, source reduction and recycling should emphasize potential risk reduction subsequent to compliance with existing regulatory requirements and can be 

# either quantitative or qualitative. The EPA is interested in this information to assess Qverall netreductions in toxicity or environmental releases and exposures, not the shifting ofrisks to other environmental media or non-environmental areas (e.g., occupational or consumer exposure). In 

# addition, information onthe relative cost or performance characteristics of the PMN substance to potential alternatives may be 

# provided. i 

# All information provided 

# in this section will be taken into consideration during the review of this substance. See the revised Instructions Manual that includes a Pollution Prevention manual for guidance and examples. Describe the expected net benefits, such as (1) 

### an overall reduction in risk. to humanhealth orthe environment; (2) a reduction in 

### the volume manufactured; (3) a reduction in the generation of waste materials through recycling, source reduction orother means; (4) a reduction in potential toxicity orhuman exposure and/or environmental release; (5) an increase in product performance, a decrease in 

### the cost ofproduction and/or improved operation efficiency ofthe new chemical substance in comparison to existing chemical substances used in similar applications; or (6) the extent to which the new chemical substance maybe a substitute for an existing substance that poses a greateroverall risk. to human health or the environment.

# Pollution Prevention Information SIL50DA-1957 will be produced specifically for pollution prevention. It 

# will be used to reduce the amount ofstyrene in unsaturated polyester resins. The Southern California Air Quality Management District has revised rule 1162 as ofJuly 1, 2002. The effect ofthis revision is that maximum styrene percentage for certain unsaturated polyester resins, is 35 percent. SIL50DA1957 is a mixture, which has low volatility and low viscosity. When a polyester resin with 38 percent styrene is combined with SIL50DA-1957 in the ratio of92 parts by weight to 8 parts by weight ofSIL50DA-1957 the styrene percentage is reduced to approximately 34.5. The specific processing for SIL50DA-1957 described in Part II Section b is a resin casting operation. This product may also be used to reduce styrene content for unsaturated polyester resins used in other processes.

### It FTIR analysis of SIL50DA-1957 Project 

## 02C-01-08. NMR NMR I 

### FORMULA PA 

## .059 .02 i 

### FA 

## .941 .98 BenzYl Alcohol 

## .974 .98

. Cyclohexanol 

## .840 .96 ·2EH Trace 

## .02

PG 

## .128 

## .14 PA overlaps the much larger benzyl alcohol peak, so the accuracy is poor. 

## 2EH is visible in the spectrum, but too low to quantify, and it's just coincidental that the PG appears quite accurate. All of its peaks overlap other peaks. Please see the spectrum attached below the mR spectrum.
