Compilation of two Union Carbide informal research reports on Calidria asbestos. The 1969 Fields report evaluated Calidria Resin-Grade 144 and 244 as opacifiers and viscosity control agents in light-duty liquid detergents and found them unsuitable. The 1974 Foster report tested phenolic-coated asbestos as a thickener for oil base drilling muds and compared it with Bentone 34. The exhibit also includes a file-room request slip, a distribution page, data tables and a graph.
