Seven pages on Union Carbide's contacts with H. B. Fuller Company, a maker of adhesives and sealants, between 1975 and 1979. The exhibit has call reports of 1975, 1978 and 1979 on efforts to interest Fuller in Calidria RG-244, HPO and RG-144 asbestos, and letters of 1977 and 1978 sending Fuller a Material Safety Data Sheet, a sample and literature. One call report records a Fuller technical director saying an OSHA inspector had told the plant it could not use asbestos.
