A March 1974 market study of U.S. demand for short-fiber (Group 7) chrysotile asbestos, with forecasts to 1980. It covers floor tile, oil well drilling muds, joint compounds, paints, adhesives, ceiling tile, paper, phenolic compounds and new uses such as rubber and reinforced plastics. It also covers competitors, Calidria sales, and OSHA and EPA uncertainty, and it recommends plant expansion. Appendices hold rig and well data and a technical paper on coupled chrysotile-reinforced thermoplastics.
