Detrick Mhd (Combustion Engineering)

Detrick MHD Finishing Cement was a finishing cement made by R & I Refractory and Insulation Corporation, a subsidiary of Combustion Engineering, Inc., and packaged in 50 pound bags.1,2 It is one of the materials that R & I "began, on or about April 2, 1964, to manufacture," according to sworn answers that R & I and Combustion Engineering gave in a lawsuit in February 1968, and Combustion Engineering's own answers in March 1970.2,3

The answers describe its ingredients differently. The 1968 answers give "mineral wool, asbestos and Portland cement."3 Combustion Engineering's answers of December 1969 and March 1970 give "asbestos and Portland cement."1,2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Detrick MHD cement under Combustion Engineering, without dates or a figure.4
