Two pages of a Business Confidential project report (Project No. 322B30) on lowering the raw-material cost of UCAR Latex 130, a vinyl acetate latex used as binder in tape joint compound, by replacing its CELLOSIZE stabilizer with acrylic acid copolymer stabilizers. The page 1 summary reports a pilot-plant latex with an estimated saving of 2.5 cents per wet pound. The second page, numbered 4, describes stabilizer variations and states that later testing was done in asbestos-free tape joint formulations.
