Weatherkote (Combustion Engineering)

Weatherkote was a coating listed under Combustion Engineering.¹ An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists it as an emulsion made from 1963 to 1981, with 3 in the column read as percent asbestos; 1981 was the list's own year, so the end date may mean it was still being made.¹

Sworn answers in two lawsuits, given by Combustion Engineering, Inc. and R & I Refractory and Insulation Corporation together in February 1968, and by Combustion Engineering in December 1969, name a "Weathercoat," spelled that way, which is probably the same product.^2,3 Both describe it as a "protective coating, comprised of asphalt and asbestos fibers," packaged in 5, 10 and 55 gallon drums, "and obtained pre-packaged."^2,3
