GAF Corporation

GAF Corporation, earlier General Aniline & Film Corporation, was a chemical and photographic company that took over The Ruberoid Company, a roofing and building-materials maker with its own Vermont asbestos mine, in 1967. Through Ruberoid it made or sold Calsilite pipe insulation, asbestos-cement roofing, siding and sheets, and vinyl asbestos floor tile. Its asbestos liability passed to G-I Holdings, which filed for bankruptcy in 2001; claims are now paid by the G-I Holdings asbestos trust, in effect since 2009.

Corporate history

According to the 1986 Sourcebook on Asbestos Diseases, the company was first incorporated in Delaware on August 26, 1929, as the American IG Chemical Corporation, apparently under the sponsorship of I.G. Farbenindustrie AG, to promote and finance chemical and allied industries in the United States and elsewhere.²² On October 31, 1939, American IG Chemical was merged into its wholly owned subsidiary, General Aniline & Film Corp., and the company took that name.²² The book dates the takeover of Ruberoid to May 26, 1967, paid for with convertible preferred shares, and says GAF ran Ruberoid as two divisions, Floor Products and Building and Industrial Products; the June 1967 Asbestos report speaks of a single new division.²²¹ The company changed its name to GAF Corporation on April 23, 1968.²² The book says GAF ended its asbestos-cement and mineral fiber operations at its St. Louis and South Bound Brook, New Jersey, plants in 1979, and converted the St. Louis plant to make urethane roof insulation.²²

Ruberoid and the Vermont mine

Ruberoid was the older asbestos business. Asbestos magazine noted its 70th anniversary in 1956.⁷ In February 1936 Ruberoid announced that it had bought the Vermont Asbestos Corporation and its mine at Eden, Vermont.² By 1939 the trade journal called the mine and mill "the source of about 90% of all the asbestos fibre produced in the United States," and government yearbooks of the 1950s called it the one large asbestos producer in the country.² The yearbooks say Ruberoid used part of the output in its own asbestos-products plants.²

When Ruberoid merged into General Aniline & Film in 1967, GAF was the surviving company and Ruberoid became a division.¹ Ruberoid's former chairman, E. J. O'Leary, became a GAF vice president and president of the new division.¹ The April 1969 cover of Asbestos carried the caption "Crude Chrysotile from GAF Vermont Mines, GAF Corporation."⁸ For 1968 the Bureau of Mines reported that most of the mine's output went to GAF's own plants to make asbestos-cement roofing and siding, industrial board and corrugated sheets.²

The Bureau's yearbook for 1974 said that the cost of meeting environmental rules was GAF's announced reason for leaving asbestos mining, and that the mine was scheduled to close in March 1975.² Instead, the workers bought the quarry and mill; as of March 13, 1975, the Vermont Asbestos Group owned the operation.² A 1978 government monograph noted the decline in U.S. output after GAF's Lowell, Vermont mine was "acquired by the Vermont Asbestos Group."⁹

Asbestos products

GAF described its own products in sworn answers and in a report to the government. In 1981 answers in shipyard asbestos cases in Maryland, made for itself and Ruberoid, GAF said Calsilite was "a white-colored high temperature pipe covering and block containing approximately 10% amosite, 2% chrysotile," made at Gloucester City, New Jersey, and discontinued in mid-1970 when an asbestos-free Calsilite II replaced it.³ In a 1989 submission to the EPA under the Asbestos Information Act, GAF Building Materials Corporation said Ruberoid built its Calsilite plant in 1944 at the government's behest to increase wartime production of shipboard insulation, that it believed all wartime Calsilite went to the U.S. Navy, and listed asbestos paper, millboard, corrugated air cell and insulating cements, with their formulas.¹⁰ The two statements give different end dates for Calsilite: mid-1970 in 1981, October 1971 in 1989.³ A one-page list headed "Competitor's Products," filed under Ruberoid in the data sheets The Travelers Insurance Company compiled for a 1980 asbestos seminar, dates Calsilite's start differently from both; the page does not say who wrote it, and its heading suggests a company other than Ruberoid.²³ It says Calsilite had been made "by Ruberoid or one of its predecessors since about 1967," and that asbestos paper and millboard had been made at an Erie, Pennsylvania, plant since about 1927.²³

Labels and cartons in the library name asbestos in other GAF and Ruberoid products. Color-Tex and Panelstone asbestos-cement sheets list 1952 as their first use in commerce.⁴ A 1966 label for Ruberoid Weather Coat roofing emulsion states its asbestos fiber content.¹¹ A 1968 carton of Ruberoid vinyl asbestos tile carries "Important" and "Caution" notices on its top.⁵

GAF was also a large buyer of asbestos for floor tile. A 1969 Union Carbide business plan set a sales target for "GAF-Ruberoid (4 plants)" of 4,500 tons a year of its Calidria asbestos.¹² Union Carbide's call reports from 1975 to 1981 cover GAF floor-tile plants at Whitehall, Pennsylvania; Vails Gate, New York; Long Beach, California; and Houston.¹³ In 1975 Union Carbide's John L. Myers assumed that "much of the Vermont production is used captively by GAF."¹⁴ In October 1980 a Union Carbide salesman met GAF at Wayne, New Jersey, to discuss its 1981 asbestos needs for the Long Beach and Vails Gate plants.¹⁵

What the documents show

In its 1981 answers GAF said that "in approximately 1964" it became aware of opinions of some doctors, "such as Dr. Irving Selikoff," that asbestosis could occur among insulation workers, and that Ruberoid began placing warning notices on packages of its asbestos thermal insulation in approximately 1965.³ GAF took part in industry groups. A 1946 Industrial Hygiene Foundation circular lists General Aniline & Film Corporation among its members.¹⁶ A 1968 Johns-Manville memo confirming a "Seminar on Asbestos Environmental Control" was addressed in part to GAF representatives on the Mineral Fiber Products Bureau and the Asbestos Building Products Manufacturers Environmental Health Council.¹⁷ An undated description of the Asbestos Information Association/North America names GAF as one of the eight companies that formed it in December 1970.¹⁸

GAF's Ruberoid division was a defendant in Borel v. Fibreboard, the Texas asbestos case whose court file runs from 1969 to 1972.¹⁹ As quoted in a later defense motion, the jury answered "Yes" when asked whether Ruberoid Company, Division of GAF Corporation, had been negligent and whether that negligence was a proximate cause of the harm; it found no defendant guilty of gross negligence.¹⁹ In a related case, Potter v. Fibreboard, the plaintiff asked the court to treat the Borel findings as binding on Ruberoid and other defendants.²⁰ Our case-law library lists 84 later decisions naming GAF as a defendant.²¹

Bankruptcy and trust

According to our trust page, GAF's asbestos liability was gathered into a successor holding company, G-I Holdings, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2001.⁶ A plan of reorganization was confirmed in November 2009, and the G-I Holdings asbestos trust took effect that month, funded with more than $700 million.⁶ The trust pays claims for exposure before December 31, 1982.⁶ The roofing company that uses the GAF name today is a separate business with no connection to the trust.⁶
