Utility (Combustion Engineering)

Utility was a thermal finishing cement made by R & I Refractory and Insulation Corporation and listed under Combustion Engineering.1,2 In sworn answers given in a lawsuit in February 1968, Combustion Engineering, Inc. and R & I together described "Utility Thermal Finish Cement" as a thermal finishing cement "comprised of asbestos and wool, packaged in 50 pound bags."3 Combustion Engineering's own answers in two other lawsuits, in December 1969 and March 1970, list asbestos, wool, Portland cement and clay, in 50-pound bags.1,4

The 1968 and 1970 answers list it among the insulating materials R & I "began, on or about April 2, 1964, to manufacture."1,3 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives Utility cement under Combustion Engineering as made from 1964 to 1972, with 5 in the column read as percent asbestos.2
