Travelers Asbestos Seminar Booklet (1980): Armstrong Cork Company Product Information

Armstrong Cork Company's section of the 1980 Travelers seminar booklet: a two-page list of its insulation products in the company's own words, then Travelers' data sheet compiled from its answers. Armstrong said the asbestos products it made itself were LT cork pipe covering, faced with an asbestos-paper laminate, and Armaspray, a sprayed mineral-fiber insulation with about 9% amosite and chrysotile, both made at Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania (the dates differ between pages), and it lists 17 products it marketed but did not make, among them Kaylo, 85% Magnesia and Air Cell. The sheet gives its first knowledge of hazards as 1968, from The New Yorker article "The Magic Mineral", and records that it never labeled, had destroyed its records of sales to co-defendants and the government, and sold Armaspray only to A.C. & S.
