Hr. 0. C. Sraddy F.I.L. D. 5. Cutler - Tcchnicr i S.K.I'.D October 5, 1C72 Dear Hr. Brsddy: Our R ft D lob here lies recently received an "asbestos substitute" lawn ns ll.-dman Cationic Fibre. Tnio ia a mineral fiber mined in Canada avid Hrdcan's roanufactur ins representative has assured us that it i3 not asbestos. Ua would 1 ike to have an analysis run on this material to tell us if this material is not asbestos. One su^.cr.tion that we have alone these lines is an' X-ray diffraction test checking the eryctal structure. Ve favor this since there seems to be no difference in the chcaisal compounds making up this oAtnrial and those malting up chrysotile asbestos. Enclosed is a copy of the oupplicr'c data shoot. Sincerely yourc. DSC/mot Enclosure Donald Cutler I 1284 4
