Thank you Tor your letter dated June, 22nd, 1966, in connection with The Buberoid Co. Ve can assure you that the physical characteristics as regards .length and strength of our Blue Fibre in comparison with Amosite grades . W3 and 1)X, mentioned by them, are very similar as regards the length. The average tensile strength of blue (5000.00-lbs/sq. in.) is much bigger .than Amosite (17S.000-lbs/sq. ins.) .' Zt is rather difficult to compare Cape Blue fibres with Amosite as . they both belong to two different groups. They have both however, more in common and similar characteristics than these of Chrysotile. For instance, the Blue fibres are outstanding fn their resistance .... '.to;aeids, whereas the Amosite has good resistance to acids but not as good' '.aa'the Blue. Chrysotile has virtually no resistance to acids. Both - 'Blue and Amosite - have good resistance to alkalis, neutral salts and or- * . ganie * solvents. ^ As we have ho long Amosite available we suggest to offer to Messrs ;'/ Buberoid the Grade 2210 which is a long and strong fibre. . Ve attach an r ~: average result of Canadian Grading'Box Test, Grit and dust contents, and ;V;Bauer KcNett test to give Buberoid ah idea of the quality. : ' Looking forward to your reply, we remain. --.t *,-.* r , * A i ^7 STAClIELSKIv--. ^M^naging Lirecto^. , all errus without ehcaccmor AATu A. .
