Internal letter-memo describing a five-part protective program for ethylene oxide units at the Institute, West Virginia plant. The program covered eliminating asbestos (chiefly gaskets) from contact with ethylene oxide, cleaning equipment, insulating lines, replacing corroded equipment with stainless steel, and installing fire water sprays. The asbestos discussion concerns gasket deterioration, possible fires and polymerization of ethylene oxide, not health effects.
