7M was a cement listed under Philip Carey's name in an insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits.1 That list gives it as made from 1906 to 1972, with 90 in the column read as percent asbestos, and the note "CELOTEX:1972-77."1
A 1990 EPA notice that published what the Celotex Corporation reported, naming Philip Carey as its predecessor, lists 7M–0 Asbestos Shorts Cement as produced from 1950 to 1977 and "brokered," and says it contained 100% asbestos.2 The notice does not say that Philip Carey or Celotex made it.2 A Philip Carey product picture in the Library's collection carries the marking "7M-5 ASBESTOS."3
