Gentlemen 0 a: Ef.GOT'.A K APR'v Hir.u. mO.'m .i CA Recently there has been much discussion and speculation regarding OSHA regulations'on asbestos reinforced thermoset molding materials. We have been concerned for some time that current and proposed regulations will have the effect of rendering it difficult or impossible to continue.the use of asbestos bearing products., because of this we have been working to develop non^asbestos replacements for our asbestos containing materials. We believe that this- approach offers both health and economic benefits for . your company and customers. It is our plan to withdraw from the use of asbestos. fillers in all of our products'over the next nine months. It is impossible to generalize on our entire program or our time schedule at this time. ' We plan to correspond, with you at a later date regarding the status of.the materials you purchase from us. Please adviseus if you require assistance in the proper material selection for your specific applications. We value the business-you have been placing with us, and intend to do every thing possible to insure an orderly transition to non-asbestos materials. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Very truly-yours E. F. borro,- Jr. . Sales Manager Molding Materials CUTLER 395/399 12/1/2006 SC-EEI-1065
