Flintkote

The Flintkote Company was an American roofing and building-products maker that made or sold asbestos roof coatings, felts, cements, asbestos-cement pipe and siding, and asphalt and vinyl asbestos floor tile, and for 25 years mined its own asbestos in Quebec. It moved away from asbestos in the early 1980s, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2004, and its asbestos claims are now paid by the Flintkote asbestos trust, in effect since 2015.

Draft. The history on this page was written from the documents in our library and has not yet been reviewed by a person.

History

Our trust page, drawn from the bankruptcy record, says Flintkote began in 1901 as a roofing manufacturer best known for asphalt shingles.¹ According to the 1986 Sourcebook on Asbestos Diseases, a compilation by plaintiffs' attorneys, The Flintkote Company was incorporated in Massachusetts on July 12, 1917, as successor to the Flintkote Mfg. Co., a New Jersey corporation formed in 1901, and acquired felting and roofing plants from 1901 to 1930.³² Asbestos entered its line early. In May 1929 Johns-Manville's employee magazine reported an arrangement under which J-M would make a line of asbestos shingles for Flintkote to sell under the name "Rex."⁶ Asbestos magazine later recalled that in November 1928 Flintkote, then of Boston, had agreed with the Royal Dutch Shell group to exchange technical information on asphalt, asphalt emulsions and roofing.⁷ In its review of 1937 the magazine reported that Flintkote had announced a new line of asbestos-cement shingles and siding.⁸

A 1960 profile in Asbestos says I. J. Harvey, Jr. came to Flintkote from Shell Oil in 1930, became president in 1934 and chairman in 1957, and that under him the business was "diversified."⁹ In April 1945 Harvey reported that Flintkote had completed its purchase of the Tile-Tex Company of Chicago Heights, Illinois, a maker of asphalt tile wall and floor products.¹⁰ In 1956 the company announced a $20 million program of expansion and diversification that included the Insulrock business, a plant at Ennis, Texas, a gypsum plant at Sweetwater, Texas, and the Van-Packer chimney company.¹¹ The 1986 Sourcebook says Flintkote merged with the Blue Diamond Corp. of Los Angeles, a gypsum maker, in 1959, acquired the assets of Orangeburg Mfg. Co., Inc. on December 31, 1963, and in August 1977 bought 44 percent of Polymer Building Systems Inc. of Riverside, California, a maker of urethane core insulation.³³

Flintkote also became an asbestos producer. Asbestos reported that a new subsidiary, Flintkote Mines Ltd., had bought a property near Thetford Mines, and the U.S. Bureau of Mines yearbook says its mine and mill went into production in June 1946.² The company advertised its fiber for sale to other manufacturers from the 1950s into the 1970s, and a 1973 advertisement called Flintkote "our very best customer," naming floor tile, roofing shingles, felts, industrial coatings and pipe.¹²¹³ Asbestos reported that the mine closed as of December 31, 1971.² A 1974 Union Carbide market study still listed Flintkote Mines, Ltd. as a captive source with a capacity of 33,000 tons a year.¹⁴ The 1986 Sourcebook names Flintkote Mines Ltd., which it says mines asbestos fiber, and Flintkote Holdings Ltd. as Flintkote's two Canadian subsidiaries.³³ In the data sheet The Travelers Insurance Company compiled for a 1980 asbestos seminar from defendants' interrogatory answers, The Flintkote Company answered "No" to whether it had mined or milled asbestos, and said its fiber had come from a variety of Canadian, South African, Russian and U.S. mines since the 1930s.³⁴ That answer spoke for the manufacturing company itself; the mining was done by its subsidiary, Flintkote Mines Ltd.

In 1960 Asbestos reported that Johns-Manville had licensed Flintkote to make asbestos-cement pressure pipe of the kind J-M sold as "Transite."¹⁵ The next January, Flintkote president George J. Pecaro wrote that the company planned "to enter into the asbestos cement pipe field."¹⁶ By January 1964 he reported a new asbestos-cement pipe plant at Ravenna, Ohio, selling pipe under the brand name Flintite, and an expanded vinyl-asbestos floor plant in Canada.¹⁷

Asbestos products

Most of what our library knows about Flintkote's products comes from its own sworn answers to the master interrogatories used in asbestos cases in the Eastern District of Texas, certified on October 10, 1985.⁴ An exhibit to those answers lists about 100 coatings, cements, mastics and adhesives with the years they were made at East Rutherford, New Jersey, New Orleans, Chicago Heights and Vernon, California, and their asbestos content.⁴ Examples:

• Rexalt asphalt roof coating, listed as made from 1950 to 1978 at East Rutherford and New Orleans and to 1981 at Chicago Heights.¹⁸
• Railroad car cements, metal protective coatings "used by railroad car builders or repair shops," made from the late 1940s and discontinued before 1968.¹⁹
• Decoralt coatings, used mainly for surfacing tennis courts, listed at 4.5–6.0 percent asbestos.²⁰
• Asphalt-saturated asbestos felt for built-up roofing, listed at 65 percent; the answers say Flintkote bought the felt from other makers and saturated it with asphalt.²¹
• Asbestos-cement pipe, listed as made from 1962 to 1977 at 16 percent; the answers say the line "was closed down in 1977."²²
• Vinyl asbestos floor tile, listed at 8–14 percent; a trademark file gives June 1, 1959 as its first use in commerce.²³

In the same answers Flintkote said it had "not manufactured, sold or distributed insulation products containing asbestos within the normal and usual meaning of the term," and took the position that "the asbestos contained in its products is encapsulated and therefore asbestos dust was not released into the ambient air."⁴ In the 1980 Travelers data sheet, which gives its principal place of business as Stamford, Connecticut, Flintkote likewise said it had never made insulation products, and said all its products contained chrysotile except asbestos-cement pipe, which contained chrysotile and crocidolite.³⁴

What the documents show

Flintkote took part in the industry's trade groups. Stuart H. Ralph of Flintkote served two terms as president of the Asbestos Cement Products Association, until 1948.²⁴ A 1968 Johns-Manville memo confirming a "Seminar on Asbestos Environmental Control" was addressed to directors of the Mineral Fiber Products Bureau, including J. D. Moran of Flintkote, and to the Asbestos Building Products Manufacturers Environmental Health Council, which listed John Tuffy of Flintkote.²⁵ The Labor Department's certified record of its March 1972 hearings on a permanent asbestos standard lists comments or exhibits from J. D. Moran of Flintkote.²⁶ An undated description of the Asbestos Information Association/North America names Flintkote as one of the eight companies that formed it in December 1970.²⁷

Union Carbide's sales records follow Flintkote as a buyer of its Calidria asbestos. An August 1973 Union Carbide call report records that a Flintkote technical man called the new OSHA and EPA rules "a pain in the neck" but said the company intended to continue with asbestos wherever possible.⁵ A January 1974 call report records Flintkote using about 20,000 tons of fiber a year in floor tile.²⁸ In February 1980 Flintkote's flooring division told its suppliers that the Chicago Heights plant would stop making asbestos vinyl floor tile after March 28, 1980.²⁹ A November 1981 call report on Flintkote's Pioneer division in Los Angeles records its aim to move away from asbestos.⁵ In June 1982 Flintkote's purchasing manager in Los Angeles, writing on letterhead that reads "A Genstar Company," told Union Carbide that Flintkote had discontinued using asbestos and asked how to return its remaining stock.³⁰

In the 1980 Travelers data sheet, Flintkote gave the late 1960s as its first knowledge of hazards and said it "has never labeled" its products. It said changes in its products' makeup were made for quality and economy, "not changed due to safety considerations." It denied sales to the Navy, named the GSA as a government buyer, and named C & E Refractories (a division of Combustion Engineering), GAF, Johns-Manville and Celotex among its co-defendants as customers.³⁴

Flintkote was a defendant in asbestos lawsuits for decades; our case-law library lists 39 decisions naming it, from 1982 to 2013.³¹

Bankruptcy and trust

Our trust page says Flintkote sold its manufacturing divisions in the 1980s. It says The Flintkote Company filed for Chapter 11 in 2004 and its mining subsidiary, Flintkote Mines Limited, filed soon after, with the two cases handled together.¹ After a long case, the plan was confirmed and the Flintkote Company and Flintkote Mines Limited Asbestos Personal Injury Trust took effect in 2015, funded with more than $700 million.¹ The trust pays claims for exposure to Flintkote asbestos before December 31, 1982.¹
