Did you work with Monsanto Chemical Company phosphate plant asbestos-fabric transfer-hose and pipe lagging on molten elemental phosphorus (P4) and phosphorus-pentoxide transfer lines, asbestos-refractory tap-hole and phos-furnace hearth patch, and asbestos-packed flange gaskets used at Soda Springs ID, Columbia TN, and Sauget IL phosphate operations? According to publicly filed asbestos litigation records, it allegedly contained asbestos. Here is what it was, who was exposed, and who is responsible. Monsanto Chemical Company phosphate plant asbestos-fabric transfer-hose and pipe lagging on molten elemental phosphorus (P4) and phosphorus-pentoxide transfer lines, asbestos-refractory tap-hole and phos-furnace hearth patch, and asbestos-packed flange gaskets used at Soda Springs ID, Columbia TN, and Sauget IL phosphate operations, sold from the 1940s until the 1980s. Plaintiffs allegedly worked with or around Monsanto phosphate plant asbestos-fabric transfer-hose lagging, asbestos-refractory phos-furnace tap-hole packing, and asbestos-packed flange gaskets at Soda Springs ID, Columbia TN, Sauget IL, and other Monsanto phosphate operations. Allegedly asbestos-woven fabric outer lagging on steam-jacketed molten-phosphorus and P2O5 transfer lines, asbestos-block hot-side lagging on phos-furnace hoods and off-gas ducts, asbestos-refractory tap-hole packing and hearth patch, and asbestos-packed flange gaskets — released fiber during hot-work strip / re-lag, tap-hole repack, and turnaround at Monsanto phosphate plants. Workers allegedly exposed around this product included Phosphate plant workers, Chemical plant pipefitters, Refractory masons, and Chemical plant turnaround crews. Asbestos claims are brought against the companies that made the products. If you worked with or around Monsanto Chemical Company phosphate plant asbestos-fabric transfer-hose and pipe lagging on molten elemental phosphorus (P4) and phosphorus-pentoxide transfer lines, asbestos-refractory tap-hole and phos-furnace hearth patch, and asbestos-packed flange gaskets used at Soda Springs ID, Columbia TN, and Sauget IL phosphate operations and were later diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, or another asbestos-related disease, you may have a legal claim against the manufacturer.

Product Description
Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Monsanto Chemical Company operated electric-arc phosphate furnaces and phosphorus derivatives plants at Soda Springs ID, Columbia TN, Sauget IL, and other sites that used asbestos-fabric outer lagging on steam-jacketed molten elemental phosphorus (P4) and phosphorus-pentoxide (P2O5) transfer lines, asbestos-block hot-side lagging on phos-furnace hoods and off-gas ducts, asbestos-refractory tap-hole packing and hearth patch material on the phos-furnaces, and asbestos-packed flange gaskets on hot process piping. According to those publicly filed asbestos litigation records, the asbestos-fabric lagging allegedly held skin temperatures down on the transfer piping to keep P4 molten and prevent solidification.
Plaintiffs alleged that Monsanto phosphate furnaces required frequent tap-hole repack and hearth patch on a rolling schedule, and that transfer-hose lagging was allegedly stripped and re-lagged during scheduled turnarounds.
Workers Exposed
Plaintiffs allegedly exposed to Monsanto phosphate plant asbestos-containing components include:
- Phosphate plant workers and phos-furnace operators tapping the furnaces
- Chemical plant pipefitters cutting into P4 and P2O5 transfer piping at the flanges
- Refractory masons and bricklayers repacking tap-holes and patching furnace hearths
- Chemical plant boilermakers rebuilding furnace hoods and off-gas ducts
- Chemical plant turnaround crews stripping and re-lagging asbestos-fabric transfer-hose lagging
- Chemical plant electricians on electrode-column work at the arc furnaces
- Chemical plant maintenance on flange packing and gasket renewal
