Mix A (Combustion Engineering)

Mix A was a semi-expansion insulation made by R & I Refractory and Insulation Corporation, a subsidiary of Combustion Engineering, Inc., and packaged in 50 pound bags.1,2 In sworn answers given in a lawsuit in February 1968, R & I and Combustion Engineering described it as "comprised of asbestos and wool."3 Combustion Engineering's own answers in two later lawsuits, in December 1969 and March 1970, describe it as "comprised of asbestos, mineral wool and clay."1,2

The sources give different dates: the 1968 answers list Mix A among the materials R & I had made "from the year 1959 to the present time."3 Combustion Engineering's March 1970 answers say R & I made it "beginning prior to the year 1940" and still made it then.2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Mix A cement under Combustion Engineering as made from 1963 to 1972, with 61 in the column read as percent asbestos.4
