Mr. G. F. Willey (Mr. C. R. Daaiels) Pittsburgh Plant
In his September 22 letter on the above subject. Dr. Kassinger, of the Products Research Division, recommends the use of high purity .colloidal asbestos (Union Carbide) as a replacement for Cab-O-Sil pyrogenic silica as an anticaking agent in pulverized sodium nitrite. y*A
We would appreciate your comments on Dr. Kassinger's proposal and an approximate estimate of the annual savings which would accrue to Humble as a result of substituting asbestos for Cab-O-Sil.
