W. R. Grace's sworn answers in a 1987 lawsuit list Dallas, Texas among the plants where two versions of its fireproofing were made: Zonolite Mono-Kote MK-1, with no dates ("approximate dates of production are not known"), and Zonolite Mono-Kote MK-3, for which no years are listed.1 For both, the answers say only that "the product was manufactured at some or all of the plants listed below."1 They say Mono-Kote was produced by Zonolite Company from 1959 and MK-3 by Grace from 1963 until 1973, without saying which company ran this plant.1 Grace described MK-1 in general as a "cementitious light beige fireproofing material" with "approximately 11.9% short fiber Chrysotile asbestos," and MK-3 as a "light beige cementitious material" with approximately 13.23 percent or 12.18 percent short fiber chrysotile asbestos by weight (marked 7M and 7R in the answers); those figures describe the products, not this plant's output in particular.1
