Pittsburgh Corning Unibestos — Mesothelioma Compensation

Pittsburgh Corning's Unibestos brand asbestos pipe insulation was used on high-temperature steam and process piping in refineries, power plants, paper mills, and industrial facilities from 1962 to 1972. Workers handling Unibestos faced heavy direct asbestos exposure. Pittsburgh Corning filed for bankruptcy protection in 2000 and established the Pittsburgh Corning Asbestos Trust.
