RM X3580. Improvements can be made by having vendor supply material with more drum' space, for mixing. Supplier will be contacted to see if this is possible.

Due to the crisis in FYAC and the real uncertainty of whether future availability of PVAC could support asbestos-free recipes EF 5484 and EP 5492, no testing was scheduled. 2.1 Modifications of Mark IV holding tank agitator have not accomplished the intended effects.

We have ordered 2 truckloads (80,000#) - one scheduled for delivery by k/22/74, the second by May 7. 3.2 If for any reason this shipment is delayed beyond 4/22/74, we would have to convert all EP 5465A production to EP 5465D (starch) and P-31C production to P-31B. 4.0 Finalization of recipes. 4.1 AS will issue modifications of existing recipes, i.e., EP 5484A and EP 5492A.

There are several interdepartmental work orders outstanding, and he would like to have these expedited as quickly 2S possible in order to keep manufacturing expenses in line. Action: WJV 2838 ) AsbesCos-Free Meeting 'Tuesday, 4/16/74 'I April 18, 1974 Page 3 5.0 (continued) 5.2 WJB is concerned about future dependency upon Interpace as a single Wollastonite supplier. AS has investigated the West Coast supply of Wollastonite and fbund it to be unacceptable-- not acicular and contaminated with iron. Alternate sources of Wollastonite or asbestos substitute cannot be evaluated at present time due to lack of personnel. 5.3 WJB inquired when this plant would be capable of using Interpace's scheduled increased production. The concern lies in the fact that once Interpace begins to produce at 600 tons/month and we can only consume 200 tons/month, they may very well search for other customers and if found, may not support our requirements when our capabilities have been improved. MSW recommended that he and WJB visit Interpace. Action: MSW 5.4 WCF inquired about the status of the #386 injection formed cool. RTC replied that the tool will be complete by the end of this month.
