Asbestos was used in many cement compounds starting in the early twentieth century.

HiTemp Insulation Cement was one such asbestos-containing product. HiTemp Insulation Cement was a cement-like compound that could be troweled or sprayed onto the walls of buildings. Because it contained asbestos, the cement was lightweight and very easy to apply, making it very popular with tradesmen and do-it-yourselfers.

If you manufactured, installed, or removed HiTemp Insulation Cement you may be at risk of developing an asbestos related disease, including mesothelioma. This is because any manipulation of the cement including cutting, sawing, sanding or grinding would release microscopic asbestos fibers into the air, where they can remain suspended for hours or days.
Inhaled fibers can become embedded in the mesothelium, the delicate wall of cells that line many of the body’s internal organs. Asbestos exposure has been linked definitively to several types of cancer and other asbestos related diseases. Mesothelioma, or more correctly, malignant mesothelioma, is a rare but deadly form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure that affects the lungs, heart, or stomach.
Asbestos manufacturers who made products like HiTemp Insulation Cement knew for decades that their products were hazardous, but squashed any information that may have helped their workers stay safe, including advocating the use of safety equipment. Mesothelioma law has been put in place to help mesothelioma cancer victims win the compensation they deserve.
