They include binder direct our 1. the stress corrosion batch program Obtain final from duPont and get the product into production stated that if the physical properties are not equivalent to present KIO Kaylo he will market it as a special He further to upgrade Otherwise he will extend it across the board directed us not to spend a lot of time attempting the strengths of the product so as to be able to extend it across the board Conduct feasibility study to determine whether asbestos fiber used to reinforce Kaylo can be replaced with other types of reinforcing fibers Conduct a feasibility study to determine whether cotton can be used to reinforce Kaylo - en, Ladd stated the nine points for product improvement as outlined by Vyverberg were all desirable and could be used as long term objectives However in view of the completely sold out position of the Berlin his belief that properties of Kaylo cannot be improved improved to plant and the any measurable degree urgency of the program directed toward elimination of asbestos from Kthaeyliotemhse wrheiqcuhested we postpone items 2 3 and 4 of Mr. Vyverberg's lists lists Vyverberg Vyverberg had requested us to work on in 1967 to a later date Items 2 3 and 4 include improved breakage 1600 F product and water water repellency Rithan Rithannn R.
