Three Union Carbide reports of calls on Freeman Chemical (Port Washington, Wisconsin), dated 1971 and 1975, plus a 1977 letter to Freeman's purchasing director enclosing a Material Safety Data Sheet for RG-244. The reports cover Freeman's trials of Calidria 244/RG-244 in polyester resins, its questions about toxicology, a fiber count, and a rumored letter calling the asbestos hazardous. The letter explains a delay in sending the MSDS.
