His primary reason for this move was to improve the resistance of t coated fabric to mildew.

It can lo:isally be rre*im*d that the use of t * Sanitised nane by one infUtable manufacturer will result in Its use by other*. This being the case, we will be called cm to supply a product with the Sanitised additive or face the possibility of loiin^ the ouslness to tnose c.mi*tltors K.a have signed the license sgreement.

This course would relieve us of having to justify the claUsj however, I would not reesaaend it. Such an arrangement would take the initiative out of our hands and could result in rretsure on both our price and policies. It is ay recommendation t: at we immediately consider signing the license acre?lent with the subject. As a second step, we should establish wnat claims, if any, *e are in e position to utilise In the sale of Krone* incorporating the additive. In thii way we will at least be able to me.t the possible material reqArtsent* of certain large volume accounts and not eause then to look to our competition.

A copy le attached. With this limitation, tr^re ie little reason for as to sign t'.e license agreement with them at this tins, it is rocon- oended that we consider an alternate approach trough the uee of Taneide or a similar material along with w.atevar promotional claim* can be nio for such a formulation in anticipation of requirements for v.ia type product from the Inflatable industry.
