The Flintkote Company plant at East Rutherford, New Jersey

The Flintkote Company made asphalt coatings, cements and mastics at East Rutherford, New Jersey: in its sworn answers in a 1985 lawsuit in the Eastern District of Texas, the company gave a key to its manufacturing locations, with "ER = EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ" beside Chicago Heights, New Orleans and Vernon, and listed which products each plant made and when.1 For most of the East Rutherford products, that list ends production there in 1978, while it carries many of them on at Chicago Heights to 1981 and at Vernon to 1982.1

What the plant made

The earliest lines on Flintkote's list date from the 1940s: C-13-C4 from 1940, Fiber Roof Coating from 1945, #229 Anti-Sweat Compound from 1947, and, from the "Early 1940's," Fibrex Cement, GF-8 Tile Cement and Plastic Cement 810-21.1 C-13-A and Thermalkote are dated from the "Late 1940's," and Weldon Cement (Weld-On) from the "1940's."1 Flintkote said its railroad car cements, "about 20 grades," "were made from the late 1940's and discontinued prior to 1968 at ER, NO and CH, depending on shipping destination."1

The 1950s added #227 Underbody Coating and Rexalt roof coating in 1950, #245 in the "1950's," C-19 and Nu-Static in 1954, All-Weather Mastic in 1956 and Static Levelkote in 1958.1 In the 1960s came Trowel Mastic in 1961, FR-100 in the "Early 1960's," Filler Coat in 1964, FR-300 in the "Mid 1960's," NFR 300 in the "Late 1960's," and in 1969 Aluminum Roof Coating 810-19, Rain Patch and Rexglas.1 FR-100, FR-300 and NFR 300 are listed at East Rutherford alone.1

Not every line lasted to 1978: Flintkote's list ends #245 at East Rutherford in 1974, C-19, NFR 300 and #227 in 1975, and for #229 gives a start of 1947, no end year, and the word "Discontinued."1

What the products were

The same answers describe each product and give its asbestos content; these figures describe the products in general, not East Rutherford's output in particular.1 Roof products included Fiber Roof Coating, a "Spray or brush grade asphalt cutback roof coating" with "6-9%"; Rexalt, with "12-15%"; C-13-C4, an asphalt emulsion roof coating with "3%"; Nu-Static, "A spray grade of C-13-C4," with "6%"; Static Levelkote with "2.5%"; Rexglas with "2.5%"; Aluminum Roof Coating 810-19 with "10-13%"; Plastic Cement 810-21, for "roof flashings and repairs," with "16-19%"; and Rain Patch, "Plastic cement treated to bond to damp surfaces," with "13-19%."1 Fibrex Cement, an adhesive "for cementing roofing base sheets," had "10%," and Weld-On, an adhesive "for roof membranes," "5%."1

For insulation, C-13-A was a "Trowel grade emulsion weather protection" with "12%"; C-19 an "insulation protective coating" with "20-25%"; Thermalkote a "Heavy trowel grade asphalt emulsion-weatherproof coating" with "14-19%"; and FR-100 and FR-300 fire-retardant coatings with "7.5%" and "6%," with NFR 300, their "non-fire retardant version," at "3%."1 Other lines were GF-8, a "Floor tile cement" with "10%"; Trowel Mastic, a waterproofing compound with "22-25%"; Filler Coat, a levelling compound "for pavements" with "6%"; #227, a "Military spec. underbody coating" with "8.5-17%"; #245, for "underbody coating and waterproofing," with "30%"; #229, "for condensation control," with "12%"; and the railroad car cements, "metal protective coatings used by railroad car builders or repair shops."1
