Union Carbide Coatings Materials Division to Sal Lombardo (Spraflex Roofing System) on UCAR Acrylic Roof Mastic Exposure Data, with Attachments (1982)

A handwritten file-cabinet cover sheet is followed by a May 26, 1982 letter from Union Carbide's Coatings Materials Division to a roofing-system customer. The letter follows up a phone call about exposure data on UCAR acrylic flexible roof mastic and coating binders. It describes nine years of test-panel exposure and says the asbestos fibers in the E-1297 formulation could be replaced with Mini-Fiber. The attachments are an E-1297 formulation listing Calidria fibers, test data tables, a reprinted trade article by J. A. Moore, a roof-coating pigmentation guide, and a second topcoat formulation.
