Transite Panel was a Johns-Manville acoustical panel.1,2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists it as a board with the note "acoustical panel," but prints an X where its years of manufacture would be.1
A 1990 EPA notice that published what Manville reported lists "transite acoustical panel" in one group of asbestos-cement construction products with corrugated and flat Transite, produced from 1930 to 1982.2 For the group as a whole it gives asbestos fiber, 25 to 35%; portland cement, 40 to 45%; and silica, 25 to 30%.2
