United States Gypsum Company plant at Corsicana, Texas

United States Gypsum Company named its plant at Corsicana, Texas, as the manufacturing location of one product in its sworn answers to interrogatories in two lawsuits, in 1986 and in 1988: SprayDon Powercote, a thermal insulation, "First Produced: 1969 Last Produced: 1971."^1,2 The same answers give the product's asbestos content as "30.0% by volume" (1986) and "30.00% by volume" (1988), a figure for the product in general rather than for Corsicana's output alone.^1,2 Asked why the product was discontinued, the company answered in 1988: "At the direction of Sprayon Research Corporation."²
