About MesotheliomaJointCompound.com
Asbestos was used as a filler material in joint compound prior to the late 1970's. Asbestos was used in joint compound products because it prevented the compound from cracking when it dried. Other materials were available to serve this same purpose, but asbestos was the cheaper alternative. Additionally, manufacturers failed to warn workers and consumers about the health risks asbestos-containing joint compound presented.
