Anti-sweat (Johns-Manville)

Anti-Sweat was a Johns-Manville pipe covering.1,2 J-M's sworn answers in two lawsuits, given in 1969 and 1970, list it simply as "(Pipe Insulation) A pipe covering," and say nothing there about what it was made of.2,3

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives Anti-Sweat as made from 1903 to 1965.1
