A-1 was a cement made by Philip Carey.1,2 A 1990 EPA notice that published what the Celotex Corporation reported, naming Philip Carey as its predecessor, lists it as A–01 Cement, produced from 1906 to 1967, and says it contained 100% asbestos.2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives A-1 as made from 1906 to 1967, with 100 in the column read as percent asbestos.1
