A short Owens-Corning Fiberglas sales booklet from its Industrial Textile Division in New York, form IT-5201, offering "case histories on the successful use of Fiberglas glass products in combination with asbestos, gypsum, plaster, magnesia and foam rubber." The first case is "Asbestos lagging fabric and tapes for Navy use": to "stretch a limited supply of long fibered asbestos," Fiberglas chopped strands were mixed with the asbestos before carding and woven into fabric, and "Government specifications approved by Bureau of Ships permit use of 20%" Fiberglas chopped strand. Another describes reinforcing magnesia insulation with 5 percent Fiberglas roving and 12 percent asbestos.

What it shows
The booklet shows Owens-Corning selling glass fiber as an additive to asbestos products, including Navy lagging cloth and magnesia pipe insulation, at a time when long asbestos fiber was in short supply. It says tests of Fiberglas admixtures "in high temperature block and pipe insulation" were under way.
