99 was an Eagle-Picher finishing cement, which the company's sworn answers in two lawsuits, given in 1969 and 1970, describe as "A hard, durable finishing cement used primarily as a finish for other insulating materials."1,2,3 The answers list its composition as diatomaceous earth, asbestos, clay and calcium sulphate.2,3
The answers give 1944 as the year it was first made, and a footnote says it was "Discontinued in the 1950's."2,3 Elsewhere the same answers say Eagle-Picher sold "99 Finishing Cement" to its contractors and distributors before 1960, but not after.2,3
An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives a different start: made from 1942 to 1960.1 It gives 75 in the column read as percent asbestos.1
