Not quite, it was the Tungstone product that had the group bar corrosion, they put them down their automotive lines and used antimony in the neg group casting. The Chloride product was fine in most cases unless the temp of the exchange went too high, as the telecoms industry boomed they crammed more and more equipment into the exchanges this gave off allot of heat and that speeded up the pos grid corrosion. Ive been in one central London exchange that was at 37 deg C even in mid January. Even the Gates cells couldn't take that sort of temp for too long, nor could some of the exchange equipment, so they put air con eventually.
