A restricted Dow Chemical U.S.A. Analytical Laboratories report (ML-AL 80-619) from Midland, by L. R. Ruhberg, dated August 16, 1974. Because supplier GAF was leaving the business, the author examined eighteen asbestos samples by microscopy and X-ray diffraction for impurities that could cause problems in chlorine cell diaphragms: nine chrysotile, eight anthophyllite and one crocidolite, including GAF, Carey and Asbestos Corp. Ltd. grades. It reports magnetite and brucite in the chrysotile and talc in the anthophyllite; "JM 4A12" appears the most impurity-free chrysotile. The copy is a plaintiff's exhibit.
