ARP-40 was a Johns-Manville insulation for aerospace use.1 In sworn answers in two lawsuits, given in 1969 and 1970, J-M listed it as "A.R.P. 40" and described it as "(Aero Space Insulation) Asbestos-reinforced plastic."1,2
An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, files ARP-40 among papers, felts and blankets.3 It prints an "X" instead of a start year and gives 1975 as the last year it was made.3
