FILE NAME: Asten Hill (AH) DATE: 1967 Dec 15 DOC#: AH038 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION: M em o KDH December 1 5 , 1967 }, MEMORANDUM TO: E. A. WALTHER ASBESTOS FELTS I realize that some time ago we discussed this subject and you did not agree with me. However, it has come up again and I feel that I should convey the information to you. Yesterday, up*at the St. Regis Mill, in Rhinelander, Joe was trying to convince the super intendent he should use a 71-L/XSP. The Superinten dent was interested until he noted that it was an asbestos felt and he wanted to part of it. Joe then tried to interest him in a BESTMESH ^5-R-50. Again, the word "BEST" indicated "asbestos"' and the superintendent refused to discuss it further even though we pointed out that the felt is heavily saturated with resin so that there is no absorbency. My point is that on selected mills where there is an aversion to asbestos, we should refer to it as a "45-R-50" leaving out the word "BESTMESH". KDH:ym \ K. D. Hay o 'll-;. - - I '( ? . . ,1 .
