CALIDRIA Asbestos. These proper ties are cons i st ent from batch to batch and improve the uniformity of tape joint compounds using CALIDRIA Asbestos. Red uces Crocking The fibers of CALIDRIA Asbestos behave as an active lyophobic colloid in aqueous dispersion; by this mecha nism CALIDRIA Asbestos increases tape joint compound liquid cohesive strength during drying. Increased liquid cohesive strength greatly re duces the tendency for cracks over nail holes, in thick sections at the center of the joint, and along the feathered edges. Suggestions for Use of CALIDRIA Asbestos CALIDRIA Asbestos can be readily used in your present tape joint compound formulation. Add approximately one-half the proportion of asbestos you now use. Increase the proportion of calcium carbon ate or other inert filler to make up for the lower quantity of a s b e s t o s .

TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES It has been known for many years that same persons working in asbestos produc tion were prone to develop a disabling lung disease. In time, this condition became known a s as be s co si s and was related to exposure to high concentrations of a s b e s tos dust. With further experience, it was found that men could work with a s b e s t o s thout development of lung disease if dust concentrations were kept below a certain level. It is now generally accepted that a man can work a 40-bour week for a lifetime without developing asbestosis if the asbestos dust particle count is kept at or below 5 million particles per cubic foot of air. This dust concentration of 5 million particles per cubic foot of air is the Thresh old Limic Value for asbestos, and no cases U C C 005970 3 C A U D R IA " A SBESTO S S G -130 AN D SG -210 or Tope J o i n t Compounds CTl o 0o.

This concen tration of dust is generally not visible in the average work area unl es s a beam of light causing a Tyndall effect is present. Usually the dust concentration must be from 8 - 1 0 million particles per cubic foot before its presence is visible in average lighting conditions. Several years ago, it was reported that there was an increase in the inci dence of cancerous tumors, espe ci al l y of the lung, associated with asbestosis. Recently there have been reports of some cancers occurring in individuals exposed to asbestos dust, but who have not developed clinical a s b e st o s i s. It is believed by most authorities that these cases have been associated with exposures significantly exceeding the Threshold Limit Value. A major manufac turer of a s b e s t o s producis who also mines asbestos has not been able to show an in cr ea se in cancerous growths in men work ing where dust concentrations were main tained at the Threshold Limit Value. Control of asb e stos dust exposure is therefore necessary. The control methods are the standard ones applicable to a variety of ,dusty operations. They include closed flow systems, wet p r o c e s s e s where p o s s i ble, and adequate exhaust ventilation where openings in the system are necessary. P el let izi ng is sometimes used to improve the handling characteristics of otherwise dusty materials. U'here s at is fac tory con tainment to stay within the Threshold Limit Value is impractical or impossible, effi cient and reliable respirators are available for the protection of the employee. A pro gram of environmental monitoring in manu facturing operations is highly desirable to determine that Threshold Limit Values are not being exceeded. Employees should wear respirators where dusting occurs in finishing products such as sanding taped joints. Pre-employment and periodic physical examinations of workers are desirable. These should include chest X-rays to in sure that the worker has no chest con dition prior to work with asbestos and to determine that no lung changes are result ing from work with a s b e s t o s . in conclusion, while asbe sios dust in excess of the Threshold Limit Value is potentially harmful, as are many other dusts encountered in industry, it is as readily controlled as other such dusts and it can be used safely with appropriate precaut ions. f vy . o UCC 005972 4 r T THE DISCOVERY COMPANY Sales Offices UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION CHEMICALS AND PLASTICS 270 p a r k a v e n u e , n e w y o r k , n .v . 10017 United State ATIAN Tft, GEORGIA 30309....................................... 1371 Peachtree St., N.
