Zonolite Company / W. R. Grace & Co. plant at Newark, California

In its sworn answers to interrogatories in a 1987 lawsuit, W. R. Grace & Co. listed Newark, California, with the dates "1965-1973," among the plants for its fireproofing Zonolite Mono-Kote MK-3, 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 "Produced by Grace from 1963 until 1973," without saying which company ran Newark.¹ Grace described MK-3 as a "light beige cementitious material" containing "approximately 13.23 percent 7M" and "12.18 7R short fiber chrysotile asbestos by weight"; those figures describe the product, not Newark's output in particular.¹
