A paper by M. S. Badollet of the Johns-Manville Research Center, Manville, N.J., given at the April 1951 Annual General Meeting in Quebec City and printed in Transactions, Volume LIV. It gathers properties of six commercial asbestos varieties and reports tests of their solubility in acids and caustic, weight loss on heating, impurities in chrysotile from five countries, and tensile strength. It also compares surface area and fibre diameter and includes electron micrographs made with RCA Laboratories. The author concludes chrysotile is readily attacked by acids. The pages carry UCC numbers.
