Type A Millboard (Johns-Manville)

Type A Millboard was an asbestos millboard made by Johns-Manville, sold in sheets.1,2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as a sheet product made from 1918 to 1981; 1981 was the list's own year, so the end date may mean it was still being made.1

A 1990 EPA notice that published what Manville reported lists Type A in a group of asbestos millboards, with C, 101 through 106, 219 and XXX, produced from 1878 to 1980.2 For the group as a whole, it gives asbestos fibers, 65 to 75%, with clay and lime, 15 to 25%; starch, 2 to 8%; and sodium silicate, 2 to 5%, and describes the millboards as sheets or board.2 These are group figures, not figures for Type A alone.2
