Product Description
Henry Company (historically headquartered Huntington Park, California; later Houston, Texas) manufactured through the asbestos era a major U.S. line of asphalt-based roofing mastics, plastic cements, wet-patch repair compounds, fibered driveway sealers, and building-envelope waterproofing coatings. Henry brand products were standard inventory at hardware stores, lumberyards, and roofing-supply distributors nationally — sold to both professional contractors and to homeowners and apartment maintenance crews for in-place leak repair and routine waterproofing.
