Hi-stick (Eagle-Picher)

Hi-Stick was an Eagle-Picher insulating cement, which the company's sworn answers in three lawsuits, given from 1968 to 1970, describe as "A new insulating cement specially formulated to give maximum adhesion to valves and fittings."1,2,3 All three give 1964 as the year it was first made.1,2,3

The answers list its composition as granulated wool, bentonite clay, sodium nitrite, a sudsing agent, portland cement, plaster and asbestos; the 1970 answers print sodium nitrate instead of sodium nitrite.1,2,3 The 1970 answers list "High-Stick Cement" among the products Eagle-Picher then packaged and sold to contractors and to its distributors.3 The same answers say Eagle-Picher began putting the warning "Caution: This product contains asbestos fiber" on the bags or packages of its asbestos cements in May or June of 1964; they say this of those cements generally, without naming Hi-Stick.3

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as made from 1964 to 1969, and gives 5 in the column read as percent asbestos.4
