early 1940s/WWII Info on the PLASTIC INDUSTRY'S ASBESTOS USE
Informative harcover book in good condition gives at least 1000 pgs of detailed info on all types of plastics in use in the early 40s-their trade names,manufacturers & usages. One of the authors/advisors even worked for the Technical Service Division of Plaskon Co. so was very familiar with these products,what they were made from & how they were designed to be used for industrial,military & commercial purposes.
MANY pages on ASBESTOS use throughout the book, from applications in a base for laminates, as fillers, how ASBESTOS paper was used, as well as the why properties of ASBESTOS made it ideal for many purposes. There are also many pages on MICARTA-it's applications, fabrication, molding, physical properties, manufacture of plates.(see scan)

Everything you want to know about PLASTICS & the use of ASBESTOS in industrial & everyday products! Great for the ASBESTOS litigator! I have marked many of the ASBESTOS pages with post-it tabs but this book is just too thick & full of information to do a thorough study myself-no doubt you'll find even more than I have when you examine it more closely with your needs in mind!
