33 was an Eagle-Picher insulating cement, which the company's sworn answers in two lawsuits, given in 1969 and 1970, describe as "A vermiculite based insulating cement used on masonry surfaces, primarily in the steel industry."1,2 The answers list its composition as vermiculite, clay and asbestos.1,2
The answers give its first year of manufacture as "Pre-1940," and a footnote says it was "Discontinued since 1944."1,2 A later page of the same answers says something different: until 1965, 33 Insulating Cement was distributed only in the northern Mid-west and northern Mid-east, and since 1965 Eagle-Picher had supplied it only in limited quantities to one customer in Steubenville, Ohio.1,2
An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as made from 1936 to 1944, and gives 10 in the column read as percent asbestos.3
