📊 Facts About Asbestos in Textured Products

• 🧱 Asbestos was added to textured coatings for durability, fire resistance, and binding strength.
• 🚨 Asbestos Exposure: Extremely high during mixing, application, sanding, scraping, or demolition.
• 💢 Asbestos-Related Disease Risk: Severe for drywall workers, painters, plasterers, insulators, demolition crews, and Navy personnel.
• 🔥 Popcorn ceilings and textured plasters often contained friable asbestos, which easily became airborne.
• 👷 Similar Occupations: Construction laborers, renovation crews, electricians, HVAC technicians, and shipyard workers.


📜 History of Asbestos Use in Textured Products

From the 1940s through the 1980s, asbestos was a standard ingredient in textured wall and ceiling materials due to its strength, fire resistance, and acoustic dampening properties. These products were used in residential homes, schools, hospitals, office buildings, and industrial facilities. They were often sprayed or troweled onto surfaces to create decorative finishes such as popcorn ceilings and rough-textured walls.

Unfortunately, mixing powdered materials, sanding dried coatings, drilling into finished walls, or removing old plaster released millions of asbestos fibers into the air. Workers frequently inhaled these fibers without realizing the long-term health risks. Even today, older buildings still contain asbestos-textured materials, posing dangers during renovations and demolitions.
