45A Asbestos Jacket (Johns-Manville)

45A Asbestos Jacket was a Johns-Manville product that an insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, files under paper, felt and blankets.1 The list gives it as made from 1931 to 1981; 1981 is the printout's own year, so the entry may mean it was still being made.1

A 1990 EPA notice that published what Manville reported gives figures only for a group it calls "Asbestos Weatherproof Felt": 50 Asbestos Weatherproofing, 15A Asbestos Jacket, 45A Asbestos Jacket and 7700 Coated Asbestos Jacket.2 For that group it says the products were produced from 1931 to 1969 and contained 95 to 98% asbestos fiber, and it describes them as felt and jacket.2 The two documents agree on the first year but not the last.1,2
