Armstrong World Industries, Inc. employees exposed to asbestos

During the last century, Armstrong World Industries, Inc. made use of asbestos in large amounts, as the mineral has numerous convenient properties, such as excellent resistance to fire, electricity and a wide range of chemicals. Furthermore, it was also very cheap at the time. It is worthy of note that veterans may also have been exposed to asbestos by using the products of this company while they were serving in the military. With over 150 years of professional activity, Armstrong World Industries, Inc. enjoyed global success as a building products manufacturer throughout the last century and is still one of the leading companies in the industry nowadays. The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of exposure to the asbestos products of this company are:

• factory workers
• construction workers
• roofers
• pipefitters
• remodelers
• auto mechanics

Between the 1930s and the 1970s, it employed large amounts of asbestos in the majority of their products, which included pipe insulation, vinyl floor tiles, mastic, as well as cement. Some of the brand names of the Armstrong World Industries, Inc. asbestos products are Armstrong Asphalt Tile, CC Navy Sealer, Accobest Gasketing Material, and Hydrocord Flooring Felt. These building materials were used in the construction of residential and commercial structures, but also for industrial and military facilities.
