Asbestos and Diemolding Corporation

Located in Canastota, NY, the Diemolding Corporation was founded in 1920 by Donald H. Dew, and quickly became known as an innovator of plastic materials that were utilized in a variety of industries. Since the company’s inception, Diemolding Corporation has become a world-wide manufacturer of plastic products. Today, Diemolding concentrates its resources on the production of phenolic pistons used in the automotive industry and around the globe.

Prior to federal regulations placed on asbestos in the early 1970’s, asbestos could be found as a component of high heat temperature, raw, plastic materials. Raw plastic resin came into the Diemolding facility in large 55 gallon drums that were then hand poured into ovens that heated the materials. Once the materials were heated, they were then placed into the molding machines that formed a variety of plastic parts.

Those who worked in the preform department along with molders, finishers and maintenance personnel were exposed to materials that contained asbestos at Diemolding Corporation. Asbestos was utilized as filler in and during the process where raw plastic materials were heated and then formed into the end product.
