Aroclor 1016 Use and Manufacturing

Insulator fluid for electric condensers; additive in high pressure lubricants. In fluorescent and high-intensity discharge ballasts manufactured prior to 1979 (U.S. EPA, 1998).
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 (Monsanto, 1960).
