Allbestos was an insulating tape sold by Raybestos-Manhattan.1,2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as made from 1941 to 1981, with 80 in the column read as percent asbestos.1 The end year is the list's own year, and may mean the tape was still being made.1
On December 20, 1973, Raybestos-Manhattan's North Charleston Division quoted "R/M L-9906 Allbestos Weatherproofed Insulating Tape" to North Brothers, Inc.2
