Aroclor 1232 Use and Manufacturing

In polyvinyl acetate to improve fiber-tear properties; as an insulator fluid for electric condensers and as an additive in very high pressure lubricants. In fluorescent and high-intensity discharge ballasts manufactured prior to 1979 (U.S. EPA, 1998).
May have been added to automotive transmission oils to swell shrunken transmission seals in place (Monsanto, 1960).
At a concentration of 5 to 25 wt %, increased the effective kill-life of the lindane spray up to 10 times. May have been used in chlordane and BHC insecticide formulations. In polyvinyl acetate emsulsions to impart strong bonding power in adhesives (Monsanto, 1960).
