Frost-Proof Pipe Covering was a pipe covering listed under GAF's name about which, the company said, "practically nothing is known."1 GAF's 1989 filing with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Asbestos Information Act, made for itself and The Ruberoid Co., says it was apparently made of a layer of felt from cattle, goat or other animal hair, with layers of asphalt-saturated asbestos paper and a layer of woolfelt.1,2 GAF said its years of manufacture, appearance and temperature limit were unknown.1
