LF 20 was a Philip Carey cement.1 In sworn answers to interrogatories in two lawsuits against Fibreboard and others, the Potter case in December 1969 and the Borel case in April 1970, Philip Carey Corporation listed "#LF20" in one line with four other "Asbestos Finishing Cements," numbered #100, #303, #707 and #7M90, for 1940 to 1967.2,3 It described that line as "Asbestos fiber, ground gypsum and Bentonite clay."2,3
An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists LF 20 cement under Philip Carey as made from 1906 to 1967.1 That list gives no asbestos figure for it, and its start year is earlier than the 1940 in Philip Carey's own answers.1,2
