About Missouri Plastic and Phenolic Parts Molding Facilities — Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos-impregnated phenolic molding compounds were used in electrical components, automotive parts (brake pads, clutch facings, distributor caps), appliance handles, and industrial parts. Workers were exposed during compounding (handling raw asbestos with phenolic resin), at the press (where heated compounds released fibers), during deflashing and machining of finished parts, and through ambient dust in molding facilities. Documented defendants include UCC/Bakelite, Durez, Monsanto Resinox, Rogers Corp, Plenco, GE, and Westinghouse.
