Rose Mr. Ernie Oox | RE: POINT CPMFORT ASBESTOS CONTROL PROGRAM In keeping vith the captioned program, I have asked Mr. End* Cox, Purchasing Department, to investigate tha araliability of suitabla substitutes for aabastos materials used is our plant. In order for us to minimise exposure to asbestos, the best solution is sot to use it if at all possible, ^closed is a sample of "Fiberfrax" from lir. Cox and attached is a brochure by Carborundum Company describing the uses of Piberfrax. Please arrange to obtain a roll of Piberfrax as a substitute for your Stock #210-235-0002, 1/32", 16# vt., 9-inch asbestos paper, currently obtained from Triplex. Upon receipt of this material, please arrange to have it evaluated and determine whether or not ve can promptly convert to the Fiberfrax. I would suggest that first you should consult with our other Ingot Casting Plants and/or Pittsburgh to determine what is used for your same purpose; perhaps they have already evaluated Fiberfrax or other substitutes for covering molten aluminum transfer troughs and etc. REP/gac Enclosure Attachment AI R A PC 005039 Carborundum riberirax ceramic fiber insulation: V"--" r " fiji asbestos : r: r.i\ li ramie fibi-r - i ! : e it may sur- cases, fiberfrax :e-. beS'OS. i-'Mii.mon can replace res of applications ' ;:*< : : -r.t as a mold, pipe o' '.\.

In rnunv applications, you can replace asbestos with a considerably thinner barrier of Fiberlrax. reduc ing the weight while reducing the T ENGINEERING APRIL 27 1978 Circle 336 on Pest Card heat loss through the insulation.
