Project No. 18-6 Evaluate Substitute for Asbestos
INTER-OFFICE MaiORANDUM Date: July 19, 1975
As we discussed, please go ahead with yarn trials to develop a high tem perature yarn that we can technically and economically substitute for the present Raybestos yarn used as filling in spun warp, hi temp dryer felts.
' Several alternatives we discussed were -
1. a spun acrylic yarn twisted around the phosphor bronze wire - possibly with a polyester multifilament yarn for strength in winding and weaving.
2. to keep the percent synthetic content low in this yarn you mentioned, we could investigate the' use of glass, a non-synthetic material.
I think we both agree that the metal wire is still necessary to maintain a stable width in the felt. Albany Felt is still actively pursuing the patent appli cation on the wire content yarn.
A substitute for asbestos seems very feasible since it's the warp yarn that
is the key to the felt and the filling in those styles "just goes along for the ride".
The warp yarns receive the heat and abrasive wear, not the filling yarn (as is the cas<
in Style 5702).
`
We'll handle the yarn trials on a FWO basis in the Albany Plant.
, Let's not get into the marketing-price of felt considerations at this time. Please request yarn cost studies as the trials are developed.
The cost of the asbestos yarn is $2.80 per lb. and far outweighs the amoipn of relatively inexpensive warp yarn used. On a cost basis, the filling yarn used^in an average felt of style 5878 costs about $ times the cost of the warp yam - and the warp is the key to a long life on the paper machine.
As we discussed, we would expect the use of asbestos to decrease greatly in future use in the dryer felt industry.

From:

Date: September 5, 1975
Subject: Low Cost Dryer Felt
Dryer Felt Design is creating a project to investigate the production of a low cost (probably low P/V) dryer felt; essentially 100% synthetic.
Before going full steam. I'd like some additional information from mar keting before spending development money:
, 1. What do you estimate as an attractive selling price? This will determine what synthetic materials will be used.
2. What P/V is acceptable to you?
3. What is the estimated market potential?
4. What selling points should be incorporated into this fabric? Do you need a pin seam to sell it? What kind of range of permeabilities?
5. What specific paper grades are you aiming at? Do we need a smooth
surface?
* ' v*
*
6. Have you considered dropping the P/V to vhat we can afford with styles 5877 or 5878 and going with that?
7. Does the fact that this dryer felt will be 90-100% synthetic pose any problems? What % synthetic did you have in mind?
8. Our present style 5877 sells at $2.10 per sq. ft. - the IBM report ' Design's Order Report shows only 12 orders Jan. - Aug. 1975. To me
this does not reflect any demand for a cheaper dryer felt.
Would this new less expensive felt have to outperform a 5877? 5877v " is now offered in CP and CDP versions. Recently a 5877 completed a record 950 day run at C. Z., St. Francisville. The record with 5877 is excellent and yet sales are minimal. Remember, we're even throwing * in a free B-32 seam (to date with a perfect .track record) and this end of the product line isn't moving. There were only 2 multifil. seam orders of any style felt in August.
9. Do you want to reevaluate the Marketing Dept, decision to drop cotton Dri-Weaves? Remember, we could not sell too many Dri-Weaves either.
Any additional guidance you can give us will be appreciated.

Subject: Low Cost Dryer Felt
As you know. Dryer Felt Design is working on several alternatives to de^ velop a low cost dryer felt. Harry Flint has been in charge of this project. Harry submitted design information to Accounting to make cost estimates. Attached are Jeff Brown's figures.
1. Style EX831 would use a warp yarn of spun acrylic yarns in combination
with a multifilament polyester yarn (to prevent stretching) and use
spun acrylic yarns twisted around a bronze wire in the cross machine
direction.
'
The direct labor and material cost is $1.01 per square foot.
.
The big savings is in the filling yarn as in EX832.
2. EX832 would use the standard 5878 warp yarn (757. acrylic and 25% HT-
Green) and use acrylic wrapped wire in the cross machine direction
(same as in EX831).
.* '
The cost is $0.97 per square foot.
'
3. You can compare these costs to the $1.49 it now costs us to manufacture our standard.5878 style we sell for $2.48 per square foot.
One way to increase the P/V of style 5878 would be to replace the
asbestos/wire filling with the acrylic/wire filling. Trials would be
* necessary to compare performance.
.
Floyd - I would be interested in your comments regarding what direction we should go with this data.

^ We are sending to your attention a cone of asbestos yarn made by Raybestos -which they are p.ushing to all felt manufacturers. It is similar to our C154 except that it is gang spun instead of twisted and uses an inhibited brass wire core instead of phosphorus' bronze . The current price of the gang spun yarn is $2. 25 per lb. and the C154 we are using is $2. 85 per lb. Raybestos says prices will go up on both yarns about 8% the first of the year.
Raybestos has tried to get us to try this yarn before,
but we were not satisfied with the quality of the yarn.
felt it was.
too- flaky on the surface. They have since improved the quality and we
feel it should be tried at least on a xrial basis-.
Their term gang spinning is the same as what we call core spinning. They are twisting the asbestos roving ground the wire
core directly instead of spinning and then twisting. Inhibited brass is brass that has been treated to prevent oxidation which forms the green color on brass. They say they are able to offer a lower price on this yarn for two reasons.
1. Gang spinning costs less than spinning and twisting. j 2. Inhibited brass costs less than phosphorus bronze. '
They can supply the inhibited brass core in our present ^ yarn and this would also reduce the price to*us.
Following is a comparison of test results of the gang
spun yarn and current Cl54. ' ''

From: W. H. Dutt Subject: ACRYLIC WIRE ASBESTOS SUBSTITUTE
Since we have elected to make across-the-board change on the acrylic wire substitute for asbestos wire, it would be desirable to compare our yarn structure to that used by NE.
Would you please take the following action:
1) If you do not now already have samples of the Nordiska
yarn please obtain them.
.
2) Compare the stress/strain and other physical characteris tics of NT's yam to the product being made by St. Stephen.
3) Review the results with MJ and me.
If you have to request sample from NE, do it via Telex to Wille Grondahl.

Replacement for Asbestos/wire Dryer Felt Yarn
INTER-OFFICE M BIORANDUN Date: March 23, 1976 ` -
This memo is intended to update the Manufacturing Dept, on the status of replacing the asbestos/wire filling yam with an acrylic/wire yarn made by AFC.
The change over will be made on a controlled basis over the next 6 month period. We have decided to assign approximately SOX of new orders which use a wire filling yarn, to be made with the X139C223ZAVF acrylic/wire yarn. The Designers will specify the trials with acrylic/wire yarn.
Since we have not fully evaluated a finished felt made with the acrylic/wiri yarn, the above plans obviously are open to change.
Manufacturing should continue to order 165C154ZDFZM until Design issues
instructions to eliminate this yarn. For the next 6 months you can plan on a usage
rate 5OX of what it is presently.
*
This memo should supersede any previous instructions.

4. " " AFC 3206 #1, 3-1,2,3 Bot. 200 x 224 in process
We also have two orders on the books for Arkansas" Kraft #1-2T and #1-4T
which are held before manufacturing due to high inventories. When released, they
will be of the EX832 layout.

M. J. Josef
Subject: Elimination of Asbestos Yarn from Dryer Felts .
.
As you know, almost all orders for dryer felts that used to require asbestos yarn have now been changed over to the acrylic/wire yarn. Each plant (Albany & St. Stephen) is now making this yarn. From a manufacturing/quality standpoint, Dryer Felt Design does not see a problem.
As far as I know, we have not yet Installed a felt using the acrylic/wire yarn, but we don't foresee any problems.
I would like to eliminate the use of asbestos entirely by the end of 1976 we're well on our way to elimination right now.
Please notify the salesmen that this across-the-board decision has been made.
Our reasons are:
< ., i/it IT?
'
1. cost - the asbestos/wire yarn now costs over
per lb. compared to
$1.12/lb. for the acrylic/wire yarn. On a felt 150' x 150" it means a material cost saving of over $1,000.00, ^ '
2. need - the warp yam is the key yam in the success of a felt, not the filling. The wire wfll still be there for stability.
3. 0SHA standards - Ralph Hendricks informed me that the n@w health stan dards call for sectioning off that part of the plant where asbestos is used; monitoring the level of asbestos in the aix; sending employees for expensive physicals each year; and the plain fact that the asbestos must be dangerous. This may be why U. C., Franklin wants to know when the first non-asbestos content felts will be delivered to them.
4. the substitute yam looks very good and will provide work for Albany ''
employees.
-
5. Albany Felt will be able to reduce its inventory costs for this expensive yam.
Important: If anyone disagrees with this decision, please let me know as
soon as possible.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: November 4, -1976
From: C. J. Skubel
Subject: Asbestos Yarn Used in Oven Belts
As we discussed recently, the oven belts styles 5769, 5706, 5881 made using asbestos in the crosswise yarn will be made using acrylic yarn starting in Jan. 5 77.
Previously, I have sent you comparative samples of 5881 made with asbestos
and acrylic yarns. We have every confidence in the proposed changeover and do not
anticipate any difficulties.
.
As you know, the manufacture of asbestos yarns has become too regulated and restricted to continue.with this fabric.
Should you require new sample and other information, please let me know.
