Pallite (Johns-Manville)

Pallite was a Johns-Manville asbestos board.1,2 In sworn answers in two lawsuits, in 1969 and 1970, J-M listed it as "PAL-LITE," a foundry board "made from asbestos fiber and inorganic binder."2,3

The sources give different years. An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives Pallite, listed as board, as made from 1937 to 1973.1 A 1990 EPA notice that published what Manville reported gives 1938 to 1978, but as one date range for a group of asbestos-cement sheets and boards that includes Pallite, along with Marine Veneer, Transite Core Plate and Dekeran Transite Board.4

For that group the notice gives a single set of figures: asbestos fiber, 5 to 50%; portland cement, 40 to 45%; and silica, 25 to 30%.4
