Insulstic (Eagle-Picher)

Insulstic was an Eagle-Picher adhesive, which the company's sworn answers in two lawsuits, given in 1969 and 1970, spell "Insulstick" and describe as "An adhesive material used to retain in place temporarily and to speed the application of rigid and semi-rigid types of insulation."1,2 The answers list its composition as asbestos and sodium silicate, and give its first year of manufacture as "Pre-1940."1,2 The 1970 answers list "its adhesive, 'Insulstick'" among the products Eagle-Picher then packaged and sold.2

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, files Insulstic as a cement made from 1938 to 1962, and gives 8 in the column read as percent asbestos.3 Its note column reads "CAREY/EP:1962-74," which the list does not explain.3
