FILE NAME: WR Grace (WRG) DATE: November 16, 1970 DOC#: WRG129 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION: 1970 memo from TF Egan regarding new direct-to-steel fireproofing. calibhdg: 7131493 TO- FROM: All Zonolits Sales Representative T. F . Egan date: November 15, 1970 SUBJECT: CC: As you all know, there has been substantial attention and con cern about the use of asbestos in fireproofing for health reasons. Government officials, anti-pollution authorities, and medical spokesmen have joined in the cry. The New York Times, Philadelphia Bulletin, and many trade pub lications have dealt at length with the problem. The inherent dangers of asbestos was the subject of a cover story in Engi neering News Record on April 2nd. Big jobs have been halted while a more suitable fireproofing material could be found. When this issue initially developed, W. R. Grace & Co. took immediate steps to develop an asbestos-free fireproofing. We are pleased to announce that our research people came through with flying colors. Our new direct-to-steel fireproofing pro duct is called: R MONO-NOTE IV MONO-KOTE IV has been field tested and found to have the same excellent characteristics as the original M0N0-K07E. It pumps beautifully and gives high yields. I t 's cementitious. That means it has uniform, tamper-proof density. You can't cheat on MONO-KOTE IV as you can with sprayed fiber fireproofing. We are confident that new MONO-KOTE IV will help you to continue to provide your architect-engineer-contractor accounts the finest spray fireproofing materials on the market. TFE/lmf T. F.
