Min-klad (Johns-Manville)

Min-Klad was a Johns-Manville molded insulation.1,2 In sworn answers in two lawsuits against Fibreboard and others, the Borel and Potter cases, J-M described it in 1969 and 1970 as "a molded combination of MIN-K and asbestos-reinforced plastic faces."1,2

A 1990 EPA notice that published what Manville reported lists Min-Klad in one entry with the molded Min-K grades (1301, 2000 and 500) and the flexible Min-K blankets, produced from 1958 to 1974, and describes the entry as the solid form for molded Min-K and flexible blankets.3 For that whole group, not for Min-Klad alone, it gives 5 to 20% asbestos fiber and 70 to 80% colloidal silica, with up to 20% titanium dioxide, up to 10% carbon black and up to 6% phenol-formaldehyde resin among the other ingredients.3

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Min-Klad under paper, felt and blankets, made by Johns-Manville from 1958 to 1972.4
