Therefore, he wants to know why our client wants to know if it was used on their project. The fact that the client was inquiring if it was used was not justification enough for him, it seems, to research. SGP 0002124 September 25, 1979 Illinois Valley Community College Rural Route One Oglesby, Illinois 61348 ... Gentlemen: \ ~ - r' We have had a request to furnish you information regarding our marketing of Bestex texture which contained asbestos. The manufacture of Bestex with asbestos was discontinued in late ' 1973. This came over two years before the Consumer Products Safety Commission ban in 1976. Bestex texture, after being applied-, is in. a hardened state such that the asbestos fibers are unlikely to become airborne. The health hazard associated with asbestos is bpeathing air with high concentrations of asbestos fibers, over long periods of time. You might wish to confirm this with the Consumer Products Safety,Commission or others who have conducted studies on the effect of asbestos fibers..; Let me know if I can be of further help.
