43 (Eagle-Picher)

43 was an Eagle-Picher finishing cement, which the company's sworn answers in three lawsuits, given from 1968 to 1970, describe as a "Durable, hard, white finish coating for indoor insulation on heated surfaces."1,2,3 All three list its composition as asbestos and portland cement.1,2,3

The answers differ on when it was first made: the 1968 answers say "Pre-1950," and the 1969 and 1970 answers say 1942.1,2,3 The 1969 and 1970 answers carry a footnote saying it was "Discontinued since 1963."2,3 Yet a later page of the 1970 answers lists "43" Finishing Cement among the products Eagle-Picher "packages and sells to contractors and to its distributors."3

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as made from 1945 to 1971, and gives 75 in the column read as percent asbestos.4
