Precision-molded (Fibreboard)

Precision-Molded is a term that appears with Fibreboard insulation.1,2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Precision-Molded pipe covering and block under Fibreboard, marks the name as a generic term used by several makers, and gives 15 in the column read as percent asbestos.1 It gives only one year of manufacture, 1941.1

In sworn answers given in a lawsuit in 1970, Fibreboard used "Precision Molded" to describe its 85% Magnesia, Caltemp and Super Caltemp pipe covering, block and cement.2

Related: 85 Magnesia, Caltemp.
