GAF Corporation plant at South Bound Brook, New Jersey

In July 1952, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, put an aerial view of The Ruberoid Co.'s South Bound Brook, New Jersey plant on its cover, describing it as the plant "where asbestos-cement and asphalt building products are manufactured."1 The journal said it was "the first Ruberoid plant," established in 1886 in a remodelled sawmill "with a total working force of only 18 men."1 The sworn answers of GAF Corporation in a 1981 shipyard lawsuit say that its T/NA-100 Insulation Jacketing, "manufactured from 1962 to September 1971," was made at South Bound Brook.2 GAF described it as a two-ply laminate of asbestos paper, with chrysotile asbestos fibers bonded with Neoprene, and a plastic film, used for covering insulated tanks and protecting insulated piping.2
