Asbestos Paper: Fire and Water Resistant Pulp Process
Ladewig develops a process to make asbestos fiber pulp and paper that resist fire and water and absorb no moisture. The method mixes asbestos fiber with alumina sulfate, treats with zinc chloride solution, uses resin soap wash, then adds more asbestos and barytes. The pulp can form fireproof cardboard and may be used for cigarette manufacture.
