15A Asbestos Jacket (Johns-Manville)

15A Asbestos Jacket was a Johns-Manville asbestos felt jacket.1,2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists it under Johns-Manville among papers, felts and blankets, made from 1931 to 1981; 1981 was the list's own year, so the end date may mean it was still being made.1

A 1990 EPA notice that published what Manville reported lists 15A Asbestos Jacket in a group it calls Asbestos Weatherproof Felt, with 50 Asbestos Weatherproofing, 45A Asbestos Jacket and 7700 Coated Asbestos Jacket.2 For the group as a whole, it gives felt and jacket, produced 1931 to 1969, containing asbestos fiber, 95 to 98%.2
