Division Headquarters, Toronto, April 2, 1969 P. 3KXNDER - WINNIPEG ec: L.J. Robinson - Edmonton G.B. ' Lnnipeg File STYLE 61 SHEET FOR DOKTaR By coincidence both you k Larry requested information on the above within the last 10 days. Because Larry may not be familiar with this application etc*, X thought X should give him some history* Paper box makers have found that compressed asbestos sheet makes - * an excellent die-backing material for their rubber dies with which they print their boxes* This market is a huge one k Feraanite (sold in Canada by Albion) enjoys most of it because its properties are particularly suited for this purpose by sheer chancd* It is a natural rubber sheet, so has very high tear strength; its surface is such that the dies adhere well; it is pink in colour, so that pencilled lines used to position the dies, can be easily seen* (They can't on a blaek sheet)* About 5 or ? years ago Research developed a high tear sheet for us for this market which we identified as style 61 PB. Its formula included long fibres for strength* For a while, we enjoyed some nice business with this product, partially because of reciprocity, because JM spends a lot of money with various paper box suppliers. However, our quality was inconsistent k because our cost was too high to stay in this competitive market, we withdrew* The "caliper" of our sheet was also a problem* George Birtwhlstle has continued to supply our regular 61 sheet to Domtar k this is the only account we have now. While we were continuing to supply from Asbestos, we extended the special price of 2 per 60" x 63" x 1/16" sheet. How that we no longer make at Asbestos, we can only extend the F price. In ordering you should be sure to specify "without parting agent". A.J.
