Secret formula sparks civil suit over fabric use
Arnold Schaivoir of Beamford claims a rubber glue cork based formula for cushion fabric used between glass and metal, especially windshields, was exploited by American Rebonded Leather in a pending Superior Court case heard yesterday before Judge John R. Booth. Schaivoir says he hired the defendant for experiments and shared the formula with officials who pledged confidentiality.
