Overview

The Owens Corning/Fibreboard Trust compensates victims exposed to asbestos products manufactured by Owens Corning and Fibreboard Corporation. Owens Corning's Kaylo pipe insulation was one of the most widely used industrial insulation products in America, and Fibreboard manufactured asbestos-cement products used in construction.

History & Background

Owens Corning, known for its pink fiberglass insulation, also manufactured asbestos-containing products including the widely used Kaylo pipe insulation. Kaylo was installed in commercial buildings, industrial plants, power stations, and ships from the 1940s through the 1970s. Workers who installed, removed, or worked near Kaylo insulation were exposed to asbestos fibers. Fibreboard Corporation manufactured asbestos-cement products. Both companies filed for bankruptcy due to asbestos litigation, and the combined trust was established in 2006.
