Zonolite Company / W. R. Grace & Co. plant at Omaha, Nebraska

Omaha, Nebraska, appears in the lists of plants that W. R. Grace & Co. gave in its sworn answers in a 1987 lawsuit, for two grades of its fireproofing, Zonolite Mono-Kote.1 For each grade, Grace wrote that "The product was manufactured at some or all of the plants listed below," so the answers do not say for certain that either grade was made at Omaha.1

The lists name Omaha for Mono-Kote MK-1, with no dates ("Approximate dates of production are not known"), and for Mono-Kote MK-3, with the dates "1962-1973."1 The same answers say MK-3 was "Produced by Zonolite Company from 1959 to 1963" and "Produced by Grace from 1963 until 1973," and that MK-1 was "Produced by Zonolite Company from 1959"; they do not say which company ran the Omaha plant.1

Grace described MK-1 as a "Cementitious light beige fireproofing material" with "approximately 11.9% short fiber Chrysotile asbestos," and MK-3 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.1 Those figures describe the products in general, not what Omaha made in particular.1
