106 Millboard was a Johns-Manville asbestos millboard.1,2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists 106 Millboard under Johns-Manville as a sheet made from 1918 to 1981; 1981 was the list's own year, so the end date may mean it was still being made.2
A 1990 EPA notice that published what Manville reported names 106 among twelve kinds of Asbestos Millboard: C, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 106-B, 106-H, 219, Type A and XXX.1 It gives figures only for the twelve as a group: produced 1878 to 1980, as sheets or board furnished in thicknesses 1/32" to ½", containing asbestos fibers, 65 to 75%; clay and lime, 15 to 25%; starch, 2 to 8%; and sodium silicate, 2 to 5%.1
