Cafco Asbestos Fireproofing — Mesothelioma Compensation

Cafco was the second-largest asbestos spray fireproofing brand (after W.R. Grace's Monokote) used on commercial high-rise structural steel from the 1950s through 1973. The original World Trade Center towers contained both Monokote and Cafco. Iron workers, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians working alongside Cafco application or in pre-1973 buildings face documented bystander exposure.
