Garlock Asbestos Use<\/h2>\n

Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC used asbestos<\/a>, a cancer-causing mineral, to make industrial sealing and insulation products like gaskets and packing materials for decades. Asbestos was durable, heat-resistant, and insulating, which allowed gaskets to withstand high temperatures and corrosive conditions.<\/p>\n

Even a single exposure<\/strong> to asbestos can cause mesothelioma<\/a> and other serious diseases 10-50 years later.<\/p>\n

Garlock stopped making asbestos products in 1980 when the dangers began to be revealed. However, by that time, workers across many different industries had already been exposed, and thousands of them sued the company for damages.<\/p>\n

As Garlock\u2019s legal liabilities grew, it declared bankruptcy to protect itself against asbestos lawsuits<\/a>. In order to stay in business, it established an asbestos trust fund to compensate current and future victims who were exposed to its products.<\/p>\n
