Zonolite Company / W. R. Grace & Co. plant at Ellwood City, Pennsylvania

W. R. Grace & Co.'s sworn answers in a 1987 lawsuit, Williams against National Gypsum, list Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, among the plants where its Zonolite Mono-Kote MK-3 fireproofing was made, dated only "mid-1960's," while saying the product "was manufactured at some or all of the plants listed."¹ The same answers say MK-3 was produced by Zonolite Company "from 1959 to 1963" and by Grace "from 1963 until 1973"; they do not say which company ran the Ellwood City plant.¹ Grace described the product as a "Light beige cementitious material" used for fireproofing, with "approximately 13.23 percent 7M" and "12.18 7R" short fiber chrysotile asbestos by weight; those figures describe the product, not the Ellwood City plant's output in particular.¹
