UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION METALS DIVISION P.O.BOX 579 NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. 14302 TEL: 716-278-3376 September 6, 1978 Mr. W. D. Bybee Gulf Oil Chemicals Co. Product Development Plastics Division Cedar Bayou Plant Baytown, TX 77520 Dear Mr. Bybee: At the request of Mr. L. &. Krauskopf we are enclosing a brochure on "Calidria" asbestos RG-600 and a copy of "Cost Effectiveness Optimization of Reinforced Polyolefins" which explain many of the merits of polypropylene rein forced with RG-600. We believe RG-600 is effective in producing low cost mineral filled PP with good heat deflection temperature and for good paintability and surface finish. It affords a formulator an additional degree of flexibility for tailoring product properties. Mr. Jack Walsh, our representative in the Houston area, will contact you to provide additional information on RG-600 and its applications in polypropylene. Very truly yours, R. E. Byrr,t, Assistant/Marketing Manager REBrdal Enclosures
