As we discussed I am attaching a copy of the ASTM 119-69 method
for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials This is the
successfully test we must meet if we are going to
of building steel market
enter into the spraying
I am also attaching for your information a copy of proposed legislation
in New York to prohibit asbestos or asbestos bearing spray coating As you realize the implication of the proposed legislation could rule
out the spraying of panelag and insulag which we are just getting off
the ground
Although this proposed legislation halt our spraying of asbestos -* based materials it could also be a blessing in disguise for if we arer stopped in spraying on materials all other manufacturers will also stopped This more or less will put us on the same footing our competitors In essence instead of attempting to penetrate a market which could possibly be served up by a few manufacturers we will be . entiring into a situation whereby we enter into a huge market the same time as our competitors

For these reasons if we are going to show growth in sales of our in-
sulating products we must have a relatively inexpensive light weight
material without asbestos which we can gun continuously that meets . ::-
the ASTM 119-69 test If we are fortunate enough to develop this
material then it or a derivation of it should also be available for . -

You agreed to discuss the above request with the lab and for us to
tentatively get together the week of April 11 to review the situation |
