Did you work with Spraycraft sprayed asbestos fireproofing for structural steel and floor-deck applications? According to publicly filed asbestos litigation records, it allegedly contained asbestos. Here is what it was, who was exposed, and who is responsible. Spraycraft sprayed asbestos fireproofing for structural steel and floor-deck applications, sold from the 1960s until 1973. Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Spraycraft Corporation's sprayed asbestos fireproofing was allegedly applied to structural steel and floor-deck assemblies in commercial high-rise construction through the 1973 U.S. EPA ban. Alleged asbestos fiber sprayed with a binder onto structural steel columns, beams, and floor decks in commercial high-rise construction, generating airborne fiber during application, overspray cleanup, and subsequent trade work. Workers allegedly exposed around this product included Sprayed fireproofing applicators, Ironworkers, Insulators, and Drywall finishers. Asbestos claims are brought against the companies that made the products. If you worked with or around Spraycraft sprayed asbestos fireproofing for structural steel and floor-deck applications and were later diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, or another asbestos-related disease, you may have a legal claim against the manufacturer. This is educational information from an independent publisher — not a law firm — and is not legal advice.
Product Description
Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Spraycraft Corporation manufactured and applied sprayed asbestos fireproofing systems used on structural steel columns, beams, and metal floor decks in U.S. commercial high-rise construction. According to publicly filed asbestos litigation records, Spraycraft sprayed fireproofing was allegedly formulated with asbestos fiber and a binder, applied via hopper-fed spray gun to achieve code-required fire-resistance ratings on structural assemblies.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency banned spray-applied asbestos fireproofing in 1973 under 40 CFR Part 61. Plaintiffs alleged that Spraycraft asbestos-containing products were applied through the 1973 EPA cutoff, and that sprayed material remained in place in commercial buildings constructed during that era.
