The Navy's list of qualified products, in its 1984 edition, gives a plant address at "Lincoln Parrish Parrish Road 336 Grambling, LA 71245" for Super Caltemp insulation; that entry does not name the company that ran the plant.1 Other entries in the Navy's lists name the product's maker as Pabco Div., Fibreboard Corp., and later as Pabco Industrial Div., Louisiana-Pacific Corp., and qualify it as "Pabco Super Caltemp Type 1200 NA."1 Fibreboard described Super Caltemp in general as "Hydrous Calcium Silicate with less than 15% Asbestos," and said its entire production was converted to asbestos-free products on September 15, 1971, naming "Super Caltemp Tyle 1200NA" as insulation that "does not contain asbestos."2,3 The rows do not say what was made at Grambling before 1984.1 That 1984 listing is dated after the September 15, 1971 conversion that Fibreboard described, so these sources do not show an asbestos-containing Super Caltemp being made at Grambling.1,3
