Letter from a Union Carbide coatings scientist to Tex-Hide Inc. enclosing a suggested starting formulation (4JG-171A) for a dark green acrylic tennis-court topcoat based on UCAR Acrylic 505 or TPX-6211 latex. The letter says the formulation contains an asbestos-like fiber extender, that employees must wear a dust mask, and that Calidria-type extender has less dusting problem than conventional asbestos fillers. The attached formulation sheet lists CALIDRIA HPO FIBERS at 45.0 lbs.
