Compilation of a Calidria Asbestos sales report of a call on Chevron Chemical Co. and a Degussa customer letter with a toxicological summary. The 1971 call report says Chevron's initial tests of RG 244 as a replacement for Cabosil M-5 in a pesticide application were satisfactory. The Degussa letter (English and German) announces that Degussa is withdrawing asbestos thickening agents A 14 and A 28 from the market because of concerns about the health effects of asbestos fibres. The German enclosure summarizes toxicological literature on asbestos.
