Super 66 (Eagle-Picher)

Super 66 was an insulating cement made by Eagle-Picher from mineral wool and asbestos.1,2,3 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 thoroughly blended with suitable binding, rust inhibitive, and plasticizing ingredients," and listed asbestos among its ingredients, with bentonite clay, tri-sodium phosphate, sodium nitrate and a sudsing agent.3 Its 1968 answers in another lawsuit give the same list, but with sodium nitrite.4 A 1990 EPA notice that published what the company reported says it dried to a grayish-white color, with dark mineral wool nodules of generally uniform size.2

Eagle-Picher packaged Super 66 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 As early as September 1936, an article in Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, described an insulation "composed of mineral wool, asbestos fibre and a binding agent," and named Eagle Super "66" Plastic Insulation, a product of Eagle Picher Lead Co., in a footnote.5 The article said the mineral wool pellets were "thoroly mixed with long asbestos fibre."5

When it was made

The documents give different start dates: Eagle-Picher's 1968 answers say Super 66 was first made before 1950, and its 1970 answers say before 1940.3,4 The 1990 notice says Super "66," formerly called Eagle "66," was made from 1930 to August 1971.2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as made from 1931 to 1971.1

How much asbestos it contained

The 1990 notice says Super 66 contained 8 to 10% chrysotile asbestos by weight from 1931 to 1963, and 3 to 4% from 1964 to 1971, as the formula came to use more bentonite clay.2 The insurer's 1981 list gives 2-9 in the column read as percent asbestos.1
