DAP, Inc. employees exposed to asbestos

During the last century, DAP, Inc. made use of asbestos in large amounts, as the mineral has numerous convenient properties, such as excellent resistance to fire, electricity and a wide range of chemicals. Furthermore, it was also very cheap at the time. Specializing in the manufacturing of home repair products and building materials such as caulk, sealant, cement, and spackling, DAP, Inc. was another company that employed asbestos for the better part of the last century. Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the use of asbestos had become more and more popular, as the fibrous mineral has numerous convenient aspects – fire resistance, durability, insulating properties, as well as low cost. The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of exposure to the asbestos products of this company are:

• construction workers
• painters
• remodelers

The individuals who were most heavily exposed to asbestos at DAP, Inc. and are thereby now at risk for developing serious diseases were those who participated in the production of their building materials. Furthermore, construction workers and plumbers might have also come in contact with the company’s toxic products. While DAP, Inc. claimed that they ceased asbestos use in 1977, a study from 2007 found that two of their products, namely Crack Shot Spackling Paste and 33 Glazing Compound, still contained the carcinogenic agent.
