303 (Philip Carey)

No. 303 was an asbestos finishing cement made by Philip Carey.1,2,3 In sworn answers given in two lawsuits, in 1969 and 1970, the Philip Carey Corporation listed #303 in one line with its other asbestos finishing cements, #100, #707, #LF20 and #7M90, as made from 1940 to 1967 of asbestos fiber, ground gypsum and bentonite clay.1,4

Later sources give other years and figures: in a 1990 EPA notice that published what the Celotex Corporation reported, naming Philip Carey as its predecessor, 303 Cement is given as produced from 1906 to 1967, containing 55% asbestos, 35% gypsum and 10% kaolin clay.3 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as made from 1906 to 1960, with 60 in the column read as percent asbestos.2

Related: No. 100 and No. 707.
