A handwritten cover note dated 7/14/82 from L. B. Hewitt to W. B. Troutman forwards a June 22, 1982 Technical Center memorandum on non-asbestos compressed non-metallic gasketing materials. The memo said the non-asbestos gaskets had not been proven in Union Carbide's services, that limited testing showed poorer chemical resistance and lower maximum temperature than compressed asbestos, and that approved compressed asbestos gaskets should continue to be used.
