Dear Mr. 3iltcn:
Ibank 'J,ou fer your letter of February 2, 1973 requesting infurration on Keiiastonits. Studies by our insuivnsa carrier end the Oeciurmar.t of Industrial Hygiene indicate that there is less than 1% free silica in v.'cllastonite. Attached is the canpletad .Material Safety and ilealc: Data sheet that you requested. If we can be of further half., cissse contact us.
Very truly yours,

Wollnstonitc is a natural mineral identified chemi cally as calcium metasilicate CnSiOj. It is cxtrcmciy white, and has acicubr sltapcd particles. High strength imjarlcd to finished products results from uniform fibers with length for some grades averaging 13 to 15 times diameter. It has a high melting point of 2S2Q*F. which contributes to its versatility and diversified uses.
