Was Sprayed Insulation Inc. — Spray-Applied asbestos documented in litigation?

Sprayed Insulation Inc. — Spray-Applied is documented in public asbestos litigation records as a manufacturer whose products contained asbestos during the mid-twentieth century. Workers in industrial facilities, power plants, refineries, shipyards, and commercial construction who handled or worked near these products may have experienced occupational exposure.

Which trades had the most exposure?

Pipe coverers and insulators, pipefitters, boilermakers, millwrights, and maintenance workers are among the trades most frequently documented in asbestos exposure claims. Workers who cut, fitted, or removed asbestos-containing products — and those working in close proximity during that work — typically had the highest fiber concentrations.

How long do workers have to file an asbestos claim?

Statutes of limitations for asbestos personal injury claims vary by state, typically ranging from one to five years from the date of an asbestos-related diagnosis. The clock generally starts at diagnosis, not exposure — mesothelioma can have a latency period of 20 to 50 years. An asbestos attorney can identify the deadlines that apply to your specific situation.

Can workers file claims related to Sprayed Insulation Inc. — Spray-Applied asbestos exposure?

Yes. Workers diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, or asbestosis after exposure to Sprayed Insulation Inc. — Spray-Applied products may pursue claims through civil litigation. An experienced asbestos attorney can assess available defendants, applicable trust funds from co-defendants, and the states where claims can be filed most effectively.

Can family members file secondary exposure claims?

Spouses, children, and household members who developed asbestos-related disease through contact with contaminated work clothing brought home by an exposed worker may be eligible for secondary (household) exposure claims. Wrongful-death claims can also be filed by surviving family members of workers who died from asbestos-related disease.

Sprayed Insulation Inc. Spray-Applied Asbestos Structural Fireproofing

⚖ Litigation Recordc. 1958-1973Chrysotile and amosite asbestos fiber allegedly the principal reinforcing component of wet-mix and dry-mix spray-applied fireproofing installed by Sprayed Insulation Inc. crews on structural steel, decking, and columns in commercial high-rise, industrial, and institutional construction

Overview Product Facts Trades

Litigation Record: Information below reflects allegations in publicly filed asbestos litigation — plaintiff allegations, not findings of fact.

Product Description

Sprayed Insulation Inc. was among the specialty contracting firms that applied spray-on asbestos structural fireproofing to steel-frame commercial high-rise, industrial, and institutional buildings during the peak asbestos-spray era of approximately 1958 through 1973 — the interval bracketed by the first commercial availability of dry-mix asbestos fireproofing products (Cafco Blaze-Shield, U.S. Mineral Products Cafco Spray, W.R. Grace Monokote, and comparable formulations) and the effective ban on spray-applied asbestos fireproofing under EPA’s 1973 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).

Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that spray-applied fireproofing installed by Sprayed Insulation Inc. crews used wet-mix and dry-mix formulations in which chrysotile and amosite asbestos fiber were the principal reinforcing components, delivered by pressurized hose to a spray nozzle and applied at high volume to:

Structural steel columns, beams, and girders
Underside of composite steel-and-concrete floor decking
Bar-joist ceilings and structural framing
Fluted metal decking in office, retail, and industrial construction
Fire-rated enclosures around elevator shafts, stairwells, and mechanical penetrations

Spray-applied fireproofing was among the highest fiber-release construction operations of the asbestos era. Plaintiffs allege that spray nozzlemen, mixer operators, adjacent iron and sheet-metal trades, and general-construction workers on the same floor plates were exposed to substantial respirable asbestos fiber loads during application, from overspray drift, and from the rebound and sweep-up of dry fallen material.

Sprayed Insulation Inc. has been named as a defendant in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation.
