IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS BUTLER COUNTY, OHIO ROGER DALE BLAKE, ET AL., Plaintiffs, vs. A-BEST PRODUCTS COMPANY ET AL., Defendants. CASE NO. CV96 01 0191 DEFENDANT COMBUSTION ENGINEERING, INC.'S RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFFS' MASTER SET OF INTERROGATORIES PRELIMINARY STATEMENT AND GENERAL OBJECTIONS Defendant Combustion Engineering, Inc.'s responses to these Interrogatories each incorporate this Preliminary Statement and these General Objections. Combustion Engineering, Inc. began manufacturing asbestos-containing insulation products on June 5,1963 and discontinued the manufacture of all such products on August 30, 1972. As a result, its responses to these Interrogatories respond within that time frame. To the extent that these Interrogatories call for information outside of that time frame, this Defendant objects on the grounds that they are overly broad, unduly burdensome, seek information neither relevant nor material to the subject matter of this case, and are not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Combustion Engineering, Inc. makes the following additional General Objections to each ofthese Interrogatories: 1. This Defendant objects to these Interrogatories to the extent that they purport to require it to "identify" documents on the grounds that such requests to "identify" are overly broad, unduly burdensome and oppressive. 2. This Defendant objects to these Interrogatories to the extent that information subject to the attomey/client privilege and/or which constitutes privileged attorney work product is sought. 3. This Defendant objects to the definitions provided with these Interrogatories as being overly broad, unduly burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. This Defendant asserts that all terms should be given their usual and ordinary interpretation. 4. This Defendant objects to those Interrogatories that request information regarding the ultimate sales or distribution of products manufactured by this Defendant, which may not lead to the discovery of admissible evidence regarding product shipments that may have been utilized at job sites where Plaintiffs are claiming exposure, because information sought regarding other sales or distribution of Combustion Engineering, Inc.'s products is irrelevant and immaterial and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.

Tho quality and/or typo of bosk asphalt dotormincs tho aorvica tempemOrre of tho product WATER EMULSION ASPHALT MASTICS Tho water emulsion typo of asphalt weather coating sjch as Thermal Coot, is -normally a blond of petroleum asphalt, asbestos liber and Bentonite day, emulsified in water. . Water emulsions ere primarily used as e breathing mostie, U, If suitable pressure is built up beneath its surface, moisture present will pass through to the atmosphere. However, atmospheric pressure is normally' not sufficient to pats moisture back through to the insulation, except, of course, on low temperatury work, in this case, e vapor barrier type mestic such as Ouriseet is essential. . . Summer grade water emulsions, becuaie of the water present, wBI freeze and should be protected at aO times prior to end during application. Alcohol is usually added to Winter grade emulsions. The amount used determines the resistance to freezing of the resultant product Water emulsions should always be stored and used at temperatures above freezing in any event A water emulsion diet has been frozen is useless and will "alligator- if applied. Water emulsions usually are suitable only for trowel application and era ueed wherever a breathing mastk Is required. Because they leek the adhesive qualities and resiliency of a cutback type mastic, they should be mechanically bended to poultry netting except on extremely smeB surfaces. They should be used in conjunction with a cutback or dispersion type flashing compound. Water emufsians can only be repaired with such types of mestks since they do not bond to themselves. It is imperative diet they be repaired as soon as possible if e break in the applied surface should occur to insure service life of the product . Thermal Coat may be applied at temperatures up to 200*F. and wit! withstand a maximum temperature of 450*F. after drying. * CAUTION: Water emulsions are soluble in water and should not be applied if there b e possibility of rain washing the product within twelve hours of the initial application time. Keep Winter Grade above 20*F. . CHEMICAL DISPERSION TYPE ASPHALT MASTICS . ` Chemical dispersion type asphalt mestks, such as PEflMISEAL, Incorporate a unique combination of the desirable qualities of the water emulsion and cutback types. They normally. consist of petroleum asphalt dispersed in a non-flammabts chemical with suitable fillers, blended in one consistency suitable for bruds, trowel or spray applications. Containing non-flammable solvents, they era fire-safe for use around open flame, welding torches and similar hazardous job conditions. They have the breathing charactsristk of a water emulsion for a period of sixty to ninety days aflar application. This controlled curing proce prevents shrinkage of the surface film and permits trapped moisture to escape. The result b a flexible, blister free, vapor seal type coating of exceptional toughness. A good chemical dispersion produet is not affected by freezing and resists most acids and etkafies. However, solubility in water is a factor, depending upon humidity conditions, for a period of tight to twelve hewn or longer after application. The anodizing and rust inhibiting agents contained in FERMISEAL make thk product excefient for metal protection purposes. FEBMISEAL has a useful service temperature up to 300*F. and a maximum of 400*F. CAUTION: . . Dispersion type mestks should be treated the sen* as water emulsion types, in that they should not be applied if there is e danger of rain washing within eight to twelve hours of she application time. Under proper temperature and humidity conditions. PERMISEAL wilt be dry to touch in four hours or tax. CtAStStCATtON OjflllllMlttrt Moeutwm Temperature >limlw TwtwiK> Cwmr-Wfi CwivOtM Tm--< or Alath Coat Uliulwciwuiil when required Goner* Uee A<inif SutAfth Cm!a| (w Sett Anultt flm Rimmam fmn Ritimnct Correuiaw AetittaftCe VlptrRmUAM feet apod Shipp*wp tdeipht WEATHER COATINGS ANO SEALERS WATt A CM(JLSION THERMAL COAT ~ TwO 4 A.

USES: Fyrotcat providet a lightweight, fire-retardent protective treatment for atruetural steel column*, beam*, tower skirts, LP gat tank*, and other exposed application* in refineries and chemieal plants, Pyroseat set* up to a hard, durable sheath capable of withstanding for hours the 10001\ flame temperature# and Kigh-pressur* water streams commonly encoun tered In industrial fires. : . RECOMMENDED THICKNESSES: Fire-retardent materials are customarily rated in Hours, based on agiven thickness used and on the method of application. For example, fire ratings for steel columns represent the number of hours required for heat from a "standard fire" to penetrate* the protective treatment as applied, and to increase the steel column temperature to a critical level (1200FJ. The thermal conductivity and heat capacity of a material are of some impor tance in an ASTM Fire Test. But the ability of the complete treatments withstand thermal shock without destruction is one of the most significant factors in determining practical fire ratings in industrial installations. * The Pyroseat thicknesses recommended below were determined by physical tests on a scries of sprayed, cast and trowelled applications. Tests in cluded direct exposure to 100 psi hose pressure, both before and after subjecting the Pyroseat treatment to severe flame conditions. Thickness of Pyroseat Approx.

The result, is a quick setting, smooth finish, thermal resistant and flexible one coat insulating and finishing cement. Hilite successfully combines the excellent low shrinkage, smooth finish and wet strength features of a one coat-type insulating finish cement, and the flexibility, high temperature resistance and thermal qualities of mineral fiber insulating cements. Hilite is designed for use at temperatures up to 1400F. QUICK SETTING Hilite Insulating & Finishing Cement develops a smooth, durable, protective finish within a few hours after, application and without the presence of heat. Subsequent drying produces no excessive surface cracking or shrinkage in thickness, and occa sional wetting does no damage after hydraulic set. Long drying periods under nor mal conditions are eliminated. Saves time in applying weatherproofing, paint, or other finishes. Jobs are easier to schedule; scaffolding costs are reduced. ONE COAT APPLICATION Hilite is normally applied in a single layer application. A second layer is needed only when multiple layer thicknesses are specified. Hilite is virtually an all-purpose insulating and finishing cement, designed primarily for use over Griptex block or blanket insulations. Hilite is especially suited for application over calcium silicate or 85% magnesia insulation products. The high water absorption of these products causes ordinary one coat cements to lose the water necessary for hydration. Hilite effectively resists this tendency. Hilite is widely used for insulating valves, fittings, heated equipment, pumps, etc. Hilite trowels with a good key on block insulation, blanket insulation and insulating cement. It has good wet adhesion to clean steel surfaces, such as valves and fittings. PLEASING APPEARANCE Hilite dries to a smooth, light reflectant surface which as an interior finish, re quires no further treatment. Hilite, however, is easily painted if desired.
