MW 1 (Philip Carey)

MW 1 was a Philip Carey cement.^1,2 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 "MW 1 Cement" for 1950 to 1967.^1,3 Its Borel answers name Lockland, Ohio.³ Both sets of answers give its contents as "Mineral wool fiber, Portland cement and Bentonite clay," and neither lists asbestos among them.^1,3

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists MW 1 cement under "PHILIP-CAREY" as made from 1956 to 1968, with 5 in the column read as percent asbestos.² The two sources differ on the years as well as on asbestos.^1,2,3
