Union Carbide's written objections and responses in Patricia Ann McDonald v. GAF Corporation, et al. (Dallas County, Texas), answering the plaintiff's second set of interrogatories, requests for production and requests for admission about asbestos in Bakelite, UDEL Polysulfone, polyethylene and polystyrene made at Bound Brook, NJ and Marietta, OH. Union Carbide admitted that some phenolic molding compound formulations contained asbestos filler until 1974 and denied or objected to the other requests. The last pages are an excerpt from a Bakelite Corporation booklet that mentions asbestos used as a filler in heat-resistant plastics.
