Carborundum

In recent years, former employees of Carborundum have developed and died of mesothelioma, lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases. Those who were employed at both the Buffalo Avenue and Walmore Road plants were at high risk for exposure to asbestos containing materials.  Carborundum manufactured general purpose grinding wheels that were used to grind steel, metal alloys and other materials. Carborundum became very well known for its diamond wheel product, which was used to grind materials that were harder than steel.  Raw asbestos was used in diamond molding compounds.  Workers who handled raw asbestos or worked in the vicinity of others who did are at a high risk for injurious exposure, and at risk for developing mesothelioma, lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases.  

Carborundum workers were also exposed to asbestos dust from working with and in the vicinity of those who repaired and maintained various types of machinery at the plant. Asbestos containing equipment included flanges, packing, pumps, gaskets and valves that were parts of the equipment used to make grinding wheels.  
In the process of representing workers and their families, we have gathered a vast amount of information the type and variety of asbestos containing products to which our clients were exposed.   Our clients understand the importance of securing legal representation as soon as possible after a diagnosis of mesothelioma or lung cancer.   If you or a loved one were once employed at Carborundum and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer, we urge you to contact us regarding your legal rights.
