📊 Facts About Asbestos in Putty Products

• 🪨 Asbestos was added to putty products for strength, heat resistance, and durability until the 1980s.
• 🚨 Asbestos Exposure: High during mixing, application, sanding, and removal of hardened putty.
• 💢 Asbestos-Related Disease Risk: Severe for glaziers, painters, construction workers, pipefitters, and shipyard crews.

📜 History of Asbestos Use in Putty Products

From the 1920s through the 1980s, asbestos was a key additive in putty compounds due to its fire resistance, tensile strength, and thermal stability. It was commonly used to seal windows, joints, seams, and machinery gaps — and to insulate against heat, flames, and chemical exposure.

Unfortunately, workers were exposed to hazardous asbestos fibers during the mixing, smoothing, sanding, and removal of these materials. Even dried putty could release microscopic fibers when chipped or scraped away during maintenance, renovations, or demolition. Confined indoor spaces like boiler rooms, ship compartments, and wall cavities made exposure even more dangerous.

🧮 Number of U.S. Workers Exposed to Asbestos from Putty Products

📈 Total Estimated Exposure:
Over 3.7 million U.S. workers were exposed to asbestos from putty products.
