Compilation of four Union Carbide Research and Development summary reports from 1962 to 1965. They cover an X-ray diffraction determination of alpha-quartz in Kaylo and Thermo-Bestos insulation, chemical resistance tests of asbestos-phenolic pipe, use of high purity asbestos as a thixotrope in polyester resin, and evaluation of asbestos as an isophorone catalyst. The first report states that high concentrations of alpha-quartz or asbestos dust from the insulation would be a health hazard to the personnel applying it.
