Fireproofing (Eagle-Picher)

Fireproofing was an Eagle-Picher cement, which the company's sworn answers in three lawsuits, given from 1968 to 1970, call Fire-proofing Cement and describe as "A dry, bulk, high temperature cement composed of Asbestos Fiber and Bentonite Clay thoroughly blended with suitable binding, rust inhibitive and plasticizing ingredients."1,2,3 All three list its composition as portland cement, bentonite clay, asbestos, perlite, fly ash, coke and glass fiber.1,2,3

The answers give 1947 as the year it was first made, and the 1968 answers add that it was "Discontinued since 1963."1,2,3 All three say Eagle-Picher packaged "Eagle-Picher Fireproofing Cement" and sold it to contractors and to its distributors before 1963, but not after.1,2,3

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as made from 1947 to 1965, and gives 3 in the column read as percent asbestos.4
