MW-50 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 50 Cement" for 1940 to 1967 and gave its contents as "Mineral Wool fiber, asbestos fiber and Bentonite clay."2,3 The Borel question asked for dates starting in 1940, so that first year may reflect the question rather than the product's start.3 Its Borel answers name Lockland, Ohio.3
An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists MW-50 cement under Philip Carey as made from 1940 to 1967, with 10 in the column read as percent asbestos.1
