0352 Cement (Johns-Manville)

0352 Cement was a Johns-Manville cement.1 In sworn answers in two lawsuits, in 1969 and 1970, J-M listed "#0352 Asbestos Cement" among the products on which it began putting a caution label on or about December 15, 1964.2,3,4 The label began: "CAUTION THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBER."3,4

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists 0352 Cement under Johns-Manville as a cement made from 1931 to 1969.1

A 1990 EPA notice that published what Manville reported gives figures only for a group of fifteen asbestos-binder cements: 0352, 300, 301, 302, 304, 319, 340, 352, 364, 400, 450, 500, 678, Superex and 85% Magnesia.5 For the group as a whole, it gives the years of production as 1930 to 1973, and the contents as asbestos, 10 to 100%, with diatomaceous earth, clay, portland cement and mineral wool each 0 to 30%.5 It describes the group's cements as off-white to grey in color, packaged in cans or pails.5
