KjETALCLAD KIRCHER -October 5, 1979 *19 W. FAI MAIUINS ADDRESS P.O. BOX 279*9 TEMPE, ARIZONA *52*2 | *02) *94-2123 Phelps Dodge Corp. Purchasing Dept. P.O. Drawer 1278 Douglas, AZ 85607 Attn: Gordon Newman Re: Inquiry #408497; Morenci Gentlemen: After several months of deliberation we have finally decided to discontinue asbestos paper and eventually, millboard. We have been searching for a replacement product for some time. It appears that a ceramic fiber material in paper and/or board form would be the best application in most cases. Samples of the paper material will be sent to all smelteis within the next ten days for their evaluation. We hope to hear some comments. Very truly yours, METALCLAD KIRCHER GS/pc cc: John Pope Supply Depts.: Ajo . Douglas / Morenci Playas
