United States Gypsum Company plant at Midland, California

The United States Gypsum Company made plasters at Midland, California, according to its own sworn answers in lawsuits; its 1986 answers list three products made at Midland: Sabinite, an acoustical plaster, first produced in 1930 and last produced in 1945; Red Top Wood Fiber Plaster - Regular, a basecoat, from 1945 to 1959; and Bondcrete, also a basecoat, from 1940 to 1943.1 Its 1988 answers in the Northern District of Oklahoma give the same years for an acoustical plaster, a basecoat and Bondcrete at Midland, though the names of the first two are cut off on the page.2

The company's descriptions of its products, reported to the EPA and published in 1990, say that its Red Top Firecode "V" Plaster (part of Firecode D & V) was made from 1962 to 1969 at 16 plants, Midland among them.3 The company called that product a "fireproofing plaster."3
