One-cote (Eagle-Picher)

One-Cote was an insulating and finishing cement made by Eagle-Picher.1,2 In sworn answers given in a lawsuit in 1970, Eagle-Picher described it as "a dry, bulk cement composed of Eagle-Picher granulated mineral wool and diatomaceous earth thoroughly blended with suitable binding, rust inhibitive, and plasticizing ingredients," and listed asbestos among its ingredients, with bentonite clay, portland cement, plaster, sodium nitrate and a sudsing agent.3 A 1990 EPA notice that published what the company reported calls it a hydraulic setting cement that dried to "a smooth, white to off-white, hard finish with high compressive strength and abrasion resistance."2

Eagle-Picher packaged One-Cote under its own name and sold it to contractors, to its distributors and to certain large users, and also packaged such cements for other companies to sell under their own names.3,4

The documents disagree about when it was first made: Eagle-Picher's 1970 answers give 1951, and so does an insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, which gives it as made from 1951 to 1971.1,3 The 1990 notice says One-Cote was made from 1960 to August 1971.2

The 1990 notice also says One-Cote contained no asbestos before April 1960 or after August 1971.2 In between, it gives 5 to 6% chrysotile asbestos by weight from April 1960 to 1967, and 2 to 5% from 1968 to August 1971.2 The insurer's 1981 list gives 3-5 in the column read as percent asbestos.1
