Zonolite Company / W. R. Grace & Co. plant at Kearney, South Carolina

Kearney, South Carolina, appears in W. R. Grace & Co.'s sworn answers to interrogatories in a 1987 lawsuit as one of the plants that made the fireproofing Zonolite Mono-Kote MK-3, with the dates "1966 or 1967-1973"; the answers say the product "was manufactured at some or all of the plants listed," so the list does not prove that every plant made it.¹ The same answers describe MK-3 in general, not this plant's output in particular, as a light beige cementitious fireproofing containing short fiber chrysotile asbestos, "approximately 13.23 percent 7M" and 12.18 percent "7R" by weight.¹ They say Zonolite Company produced it from 1959 to 1963 and Grace from 1963 until 1973, without saying which company ran each plant.¹
