Industrial Chemicals & Talc
Certain industrial talc deposits — particularly those mined in Vermont, New York, and California — were naturally co-mingled with asbestos minerals including tremolite and anthophyllite. Talc used in industrial applications such as paper coatings, rubber compounding, and plastics manufacturing carried asbestos contamination into occupational settings. R.T. Vanderbilt Company and American Talc Company were among the major distributors of industrial talc that has been the subject of asbestos litigation. DuPont, Celanese, and other chemical manufacturers also used asbestos-containing materials in various production processes.
