An internal Union Carbide Metals Division memo from John L. Myers reported that Montello had sent a bulletin on UNIVIS, an oil-wetted 1/8" pelletized asbestos product, to about 250 mud service companies. It also said Chemical Sealing planned to produce UNIVIS, that Union Carbide engineering would estimate the cost of an oil-wetting system at King City, and that Dresser's silane-treated asbestos producer expected to need 200-300 TPM of CSV. The enclosures are Ashland Chemicals solvent specification sheets and the Montello UNIVIS bulletin, which described dust-control testing against the OSHA 0.1 fibers/cc level.
