In 1989 chlorine was produced by 25 companies at 52 locations in the United States (Table 4). Approximately half of these plants are located in the Southeast (Eig. 2). Two companies, Dow Chemical USA and Occidental Chemical Corporation, accounted for 54.3% of the total operating capacity the top five companies accounted for 77.5%. Although 0.8 million tons per year of chlorine capacity is presendy idle (Table 4), announced expansions are expected to bring an additional 660,000 t of new chlorine capacity onstream by 1992, increasing total capacity by about 6%/yr (Table 5).

Carbon tetrachloride is produced by exhaustive chlorination of a variety of low molecular weight hydrocarbons such as carbon disulfide, methanol, methane, propane, and ethylene dichloride (CEH 1985 lARC 1979). It is also produced by thermal chlorination in the production of tetrachloroethylene. Since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of carbon tetrachloride in any product used in the home, its production initially declined at approximately 8% a year from 1974 to 1981 (HSDB 1992). From 1981 to 1988 the United States consistently produced between 573-761 million pounds (260,000-350,000 metric tons) of carbon tetrachloride per year (C EN 1992 SRI 1988 USITC 1986). Carbon tetrachloride production dropped to 413 million pounds (187,000 metric tons) per year in 1990, and to 315 million pounds (143,000 metric tons) in 1991 (C EN 1992, 1993 USITC 1986, 1991). Carbon tetrachloride is currently manufactured at five facilities in the United States Akzo Chemical, Inc., New York, New York Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Michigan Vulcan Materials Company, Birmingham, Alabama Occidental Chemical Corporation, Dallas, Texas and LCP Chemicals, West Virginia Inc., Moundsville, West Virginia (USITC 1991 HSDB 1992).

Many of the presently used chlorocarbon and hydrocarbon solvents have come under increasing scrutiny because of environmental and toxicological concerns. PCBTF, and 3,4-DCBTF were introduced by Occidental Chemical Corporation in 1992 for industrial solvent uses under the trademark of OXSOL [15]. BTF was... 

The aromatic diamines and dianhydrides used in the preparation of the polyamic acid resins and the diamic acid additives are listed in Figure 1. The 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA), 4,4 -oxydianiline (4,4 -ODA), and 3,3 -diaminodiphenylsulfone (3,3 -DDS02) were obtained from commercial sources. The remaining monomers were obtained as experimental materials as follows (1) 4,4 -bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy) diphenylsulfide dianhydride (BDSDA) from General Electric Corporate R D Center (2) 4,4 -oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) from Occidental Chemical Corporation (3) 2,2-bis[4(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]hexafluoropropane (4-BDAF) from Ethyl Corporation and (4) 2,2-bis[4(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl]hexafluoropropane (3-BDAF) and 3,3 -oxydianiline (3,3 -ODA) from Mitsui Toatsu, Inc.
