19 COMES NOW defendant Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc. (hereinafter
20 "Kaiser Gypsum"), and provides the following updated responses to
21 plaintiffs' standard interrogatories propounded pursuant to San
22 Francisco County Complex Asbestos Litigation General Order No. 29:
23 KAISER GYPSUM'S PRELIMINARY STATEMENT AND OBJECTIONS
24 Kaiser'Gypsum was constituted in 1952 and has been
J\ 25 headquartered in California since that date. Kaiser Gypsum
26 disposed of its last operating manufacturing plant in August 1978
27 and subsequently has not engaged in manufacturing or product sales
28 anywhere in the United States. Thus, all Kaiser Gypsum product
1 sales occurred between 1952 and 1978. Therefore, Kaiser Gypsum's 2 responses to plaintiffs* standard interrogatories are based almost 3 entirely on its ongoing review of documents presently available to 4 the These updated interrogatory responses reflect Kaiser Gypsum's 5, knowledge at this time and supersede any previous interrogatory
6 answers. Kaiser Gypsum reserves the right to further supplement 7 these responses in the event that more complete or accurate
8 information becomes available.
'
9 Kaiser Gypsum notes that these responses are made without
10 reference to the factual circumstances of any particular case,
11 and, accordingly, Kaiser Gypsum reserves the right to state
12 additional objections or provide supplemental responses that might
13 be appropriate in the specific context of a given plaintiff's
14 claim(s).
15 Kaiser Gypsum objects to requests for information that are
16 unlimited as to geographical scope on the grounds that such ]_7 requests are -unduly burdensome and are not reasonably calculated
18 to lead to the discovery of evidence admissible in cases that are
A.
19 subject to General Order No. 29. Accordingly, Kaiser Gypsum's
20 present responses hereto are limited to products sold and
21 operations conducted within the State of California.
22 ,, Kaiser Gypsum objects to these interrogatories to the extent
23. that they call for information protected by the attorney/client
24 privilege"or.*work product doctrine.
25 This Preliminary Statement and the objections contained
26 herein are incorporated into each of the responses set forth
27 below.

Kaiser Gyps-urn's Business: Gypsum Plaster, Gypsum Lath, and Gypsum Wallboard - No Asbestos Used
14 Kaiser Gypsum was organized by Henry J;. Kaiser- (1882-1967),
15 the famous industrialist and World War II hero, in 1952 and
16 terminated its United States sales and manufacturing in 1978.
17 Between 1952 and 1978, Kaiser Gypsum's principal business
18 consisted of manufacturing and marketing gypsum plaster, gypsum
19 lath and gypsum wallboard. Tlie word "gypsum" is derived from the
20 Greek word "gypso," meaning chalk. "Gypsum" is hydrous calcium
21 sulfate. Gypsum plaster is sometimes called Plaster of Paris,
22 because gypsum.plaster was widely used in the capital of France
23 during the 19th century. Gypsum occurs in nature in rock form,
and is found,in abundance in Baja California, Mexico. 24
A. Gypsum Plaster Products 25
'
26 During Kaiser Gypsum's first years in business, most houses
and many other buildings had interior walls that were made with 27
plaster. The plaster products sold by Kaiser Gypsum were 28
essentially finely-ground gypsum rock packaged in bags. Such gypsum plaster products were mixed with water and an aggregate (most commonly sand) at the construction site to form a paste. The paste was applied by hand and smoothed with a trowel to form a" wall, or ceiling surface. Sometimes several layers of plaster were used, with the underneath layers being brown in color and the surface layer being white. When dried,.the plaster became quite hard. A plaster wall or ceiling typically was' finished by painting the plaster surface or covering- it with wallpaper.
Kaiser Gypsum's plaster products designed for the above construction uses included Hardwall Plaster, Fibered Hardwall l; Plaster, Dual Purpose Fibered Hardwall Plaster, Dual Purpose i: Unfibered Hardwall Plaster, Wood Fibered Hardwall Plaster, Slow i< Set Gauging Plaster, and Quick Set Gauging Plaster. They also 1: included plaster products for casting (e.q., making ornaments or ii statues including Casting Plaster and Slow Set Casting Plaster).
r Kaiser Gypsum also manufactured Plaster Retarder and Structural
ii Gypsum (Pre-Mixed Gypsum Concrete).' Kaiser Gypsum plaster l: products also included Red-E-Mix plaster, a pre-mixed product 2i which combined plaster and aggregate, that was introduced in 1956. 2! Gun Plaster, introduced in 1957, was applied by mixing the sacked 2: product on the job site in special portable mixing machines, and 2 it was then pumped through a large diameter hose to the inside of
a building where it was sprayed by plasterers onto walls, with comparative speed and economy. Kaiser Gypsum never used asbestos as a component in any of those products.
twriij
1 B. gypsum Lath Products 2 The surface to which gypsum plaster was applied .was called 3| "lath." Lath was sometimes made of wire, but lath also could be 4 made of hard, paper covered sheets of gypsum plaster (called 5 gypsum stucco), sometimes made with holes in them. The lath
6 sheets would be affixed to the interior wall framing, and . 7 plaster would then be applied to the lath. The holes in the lath
8 would help keep the plaster in place while it dried. Kaiser Gypsum
9 made gypsum lath of this type. Kaiser Gypsum lath products -
10 included Plain Lath and Perforated Lath, Foil-Back Insulating
111 Lath, Duralath, Gypsum Veneer Base, and Kaiserwall. Kaiser Gypsum
12 never used asbestos as a component in any of those products.
13 .
C. Gypstmt Wallboard Products
14 In years following the Korean War, there were numerous
15 innovations in housing construction, including many changes
3.6j intended to lower housing construction costs. One such change was
17 the substitution of gypsum wallboard, or drywall, for plaster.
18 Gypsum wallboard, like gypsum lath, is basically a hard sheet of
!9j gypsum plaster that is affixed to the wall framing. Typically
20 gypsum wallboard would be made in pieces that were 4 feet wide and
21 8 feet long. They typically were 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch thick.
22 During the manufacturing process, the wallboard's core of gypsum
23 plaster was covered by a special paper that could be painted or
24 covered, .with wallpaper.
25 Because more walls, partitions or ceilings could be made
26! using gypsum wallboard in a given period of time than could be 27 made by plastering over lath, constructing houses, apartments and
28 other buildings with wallboard was less expensive. Over time, as
ll building codes were amended to permit use of gypsum wallboard, 2 more construction of interior Walls, partitions and ceilings was 3 done using wallboard and less using plaster. Reflecting this 4 trend, Kaiser Gypsum's business focused more on gypsum wallboard 5 as time passed. By 1960 about half of the construction in 6 California used wallboard and half still used plaster. Plaster use 7 continued to decline, and by the early 1970's substantially all of 8 the market demand was for gypsum wallboard. Kaiser Gypsum never
9 used asbestos as a component in any of its gypsum wallboard 10 products.
11 D. Non-Asbestos Products Exceeded 90% Of Total Sales
12
The bulk of Kaiser Gypsum's sales has always consisted of
.
I
13 products that did not nse asbestos as a component. To illustrate,
14 the following chart shows sales totals in dollars for the years
15! 1969-1975, the last full year prior to the complete cessation of
16 the use of asbestos as a component in Kaiser Gypsum products:

1 IX. Accessories For Use With Gypsum Wallboard 2
A. Nails, Wall And Door Frames, Comerbead, 3 Paper Products - No Asbestos Osed________
4 With the expansion of its gypsum wallboard business, Kaiser
5 Gypsum also began selling other products needed to construct
6 interior walls, partitions or ceilings using gypsum wallboard.
7 These included special nails and other devices used to attach .
8 wallboard to the supporting frame. They also included metal wall
9 or partition frames especially, made for installing wallboard,
10 metal "comerbead" used to make partition corners hard, and metal
11 doorframes for use in walls made using gypsum wallboard. Partly
12 to ensure that it could get access to adequate amounts of the
13 special paper used to make wallboard {by covering its gypsum
14 plaster core), Kaiser Gypsum acquired paper plants, where it also
15 manufactured commercial paper products such as cardboard boxes.
16 Kaiser Gypsum.never used asbestos as a component in any of those
17 products.
18 B. Wallboard Joint Compounds Asbestos Used As A Component
19 A When the walls or ceilings of a room are made from gypsum
20 wallboard, large pieces of wallboard are installed side by side,
21 leaving small spaces where two pieces of wallboard meet. These
22 spaces need to be filled so that they cannot be seen after the
23 wall is painted or covered with wallpaper. The products used to
24 perform "that' task are called joint compounds or joint finishing
25 compounds. At the time of use, these joint compounds are thick
26 putty or mud-like substances, which permits them to be pushed into
27 the spaces and smoothed with a putty knife or spatula. Paper or
28
cloth reinforcing tape is pushed into the joint compound to help
prevent cracking as the joint compound dries.. The joint compound
dries to form a hard rock-like substance.
Kaiser Gypsum manufactured and marketed such wallboard joint
compounds, and prior to the mid-1970's, these joint compounds
contained a small percentage of chrysotile asbestos as a
component. The purpose of the chrysotile asbestos component was
to prevent cracks from forming as the joint --compound dried.
"Asbestos" is the Greek word for! "incombustible," which refers to
things that will not burn. Chrysotile is the most common type of
asbestos used in products in the United States. Chrysotile is a
fibrous rock material derived from the rock "serpentine" which is
very common in California, where it is the "state rock."
These Kaiser Gypsum products were:
:.
1. Joint Cement/Joint Compound
2. Finishing (Topping) Compound
3. 3-Purpose Wallboard Compound '
4.--One-Day Joint Compound
5. Pre-ittix Joint Compound
6. Pre-mix Finishing Compound
7. Pre-mix Dual Purpose Joint Compound
8. Pre-mix Topping Compound
9. Laminating Compound
.

(a)---The trade name of this product originally was Kaiser
Joint Cement; about 1957 it was changed to Kaiser Joint Compound.
(b) Kaiser Gypsum marketed Kaiser Joint Cement in 1952, but
did not manufacture the product itself. Kaiser Gypsum does not
know whether the product marketed in 1952 contained asbestos as a
s )
1 component. Kaiser Gypsum began manufacturing Kaiser Joint Cement 2 in 1953, at which time chrysotile asbestos was,used as a 3 component. 4 (c) Kaiser Gypsum last manufactured Kaiser Joint Compound 5 with chrysotile asbestos as a component in 1975. 6 (d) The Kaiser Gypsum California plants that made this 7 product were located at Redwood City and Antioch. These plants' 8 were in operation at different times. The product was 9 manufactured at Redwood City from 1953 through 1957 and at Antioch 10 from 1957 to 1975. -Because of the heavy weight of the product, 11 low profit margin and high transportation costs, distribution 12 tended to center around the location of the manufacturing plant. 13 The product consisted primarily of minerals including casein or 14 polyvinyl, clay, talc, limestone and mica. The product 15 manufactured in Kaiser Gypsum's California plants included between 16 8% by weight and 16% by weight chrysotile asbestos as a component 17 depending on, the formula in effect at a given date. 18 (e) This product was a white to off-white powder. It was 19 packaged and sold in sacks or 10 to 25 lbs. and in boxes of 5 and 20 18 lbs. Each container was labeled with the name of the 21 manufacturer, Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc., the name of the product 22 and directions for its use. 23 (f) This product was a dry powder which, when mixed with
24 water, formed a. thick paste. Upon application it dried to a hard, 25 durable surface. It was used to fill gypsum wallboard joints, 26 embed joint reinforcing tape, finish joints and to cover and 27 finish nail heads and metal cornerbead.

product were located at Antioch and Santa Ana. These plants were
in operation at different times. The product was manufactured at
Antioch from 1961 through 1970 and at Santa Ana in 1971 and 1972.
Because of the heavy weight of the product, low profit margin and
high transportation costs, distribution tended to center around
the location of the manufacturing plant. The product consisted
primarily of soya, flour and limestone. The product included
between 6.5% by weight and 10% by weight chrysotile asbestos as a
component depending upon the formula in effect at a given date.
(e) This product was a white to off-white powder. It was
packaged and sold in sacks of 25 lbs. Each container was labeled
with the name of the manufacturer, Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc.,
the name of the product and directions for its use.
(f) This product was a dry powder, which when mixed with
water formed a thick paste. It was used 'as an adhesive to
'
laminate one piece of gypsum wallboard to another, which was
occasionally done to create gypsum drywall partitions having
thicker wallboard than could be created by a single sheet. For
example, gypsum wallboard typically came in sheets 1/2 inch and
5/8 inch thick. If one wanted a gypsum wallboard that was 1 inch
thick, this would be created by laminating together two pieces of
gypsum wallboard that were each 1/2 inch thick. Laminating
compound was used for this purpose. Additionally, it was used to
laminate gypsum wallboard to sound deadening board, which would
increase the wall's capacity to prevent transmission of sound from
one room to another.

5 C. Decorative Texture Finishes For Interior Walls 6 ' or Ceilings - Asbestos Used As A Component
7 Drywall partitions or walls made from gypsum wallboard are-
8 sometimes decorated with wall covering or wallpaper that is fixed 9 to the wall by an adhesive or glue. On other occasions such walls 10 are finished by painting them. There are many varieties of paint, 11 including some that are intended to create a textured surface
(rather than a smooth surface). Kaiser Gypsum manufactured and 12
marketed several texture paint products that during certain years 13
used chrysotile asbestos as one of numerous components. Drywall 14
ceilings are sometimes finished with decorative products, as are 15
the cement slab ceilings found in some high-rise buildings. 16
Kaiser Gypsum also manufactured and marketed decorative texture 17
products for use on such interior ceilings that, during certain 18
years, used chrysotile asbestos as one of numerous components. 19

11 D. Electric Radiant Heat System Finishing
12 Products - Asbestos Used As A Component
13 In areas where electricity was expected to be particularly 14 inexpensive, some houses and apartments were constructed with 15 electric radiant heating systems. In some such radiant heating 16 systems, grooves were cut in gypsum wallboard ceilings and 17 electrical hearing cables secured in the grooves. The groove18 cracks were then filled and the ceiling covered with a decorative 19 finish. In other systems, electric heating wires were stapled to 20 the surface of wallboard. Then the ceiling was covered with a 21 thick decorative finish that would conceal the heating wires. 22 Kaiser Gypsum made several products for finishing such systems, 23 and these products used chrysotile asbestos as one of numerous 24 components. These Kaiser Gypsum products were:
25 1. Filler Compound 2. Radiant Heat Compound

E. Gypsum Wallboard Accessories For 28 Exterior Pse - Asbestos Used As A Component
1 Kaiser Gypsum experimented with gypsum wallboard products for
2 use on the exrerior surfaces of' buildings, but those products
3 proved unsuccessful. Kaiser Gypsum never discovered a way for
4 them to be manufactured that would allow them to effectively
5 withstand the wide variety of weather and temperature conditions
6 that exterior products confront. Those exterior gypsum products
7 were marketed in several test areas and, as in the case of
'
8 interior gypsum drywall products, required the use of materials
9 to fill the spaces between pieces of gypsum wallboard and to
10 provide a decorative finish. Kaiser Gypsum offered products for
11 those purposes whose components included small percentages of
12 chrysotile asbestos. These products were:

IXX. Products Made At Kaiser Gypsum's Oregon Plant
From 1956 to 1978 Kaiser Gypsum owned and operated a plant
located at St. Helens, Oregon whose basic capability was to make
building construction products by compressing wood fibers
10 extracted from wood chips to make various types of sheets and
11 boards.
12 A. Firteac Products - Wo Asbestos Used
.
13 The overwhelming majority of the products Kaiser Gypsum made
14 at its Oregon plant were sold with the trademark "Firtex." No
15 product' sold under this trade name ever used asbestos as a
16 component. Firtex products included various types of materials
17 intended to provide insulation against outside temperatures or to
18 dampen noise. Such products included sheathing that was nailed to
19 walls before outer layers of 'bricks or siding were installed. They 20 also included sheet products for insulating roofs. They also
21 included sound deadening board that was used in partitions to
22 reduce the noise that could be heard from adjacent rooms.
23 Firtex products also included materials intended for use on
24 ceilings. One type was tiles that could be glued or tacked to
25 ceilings to reduce noise. Another group o: such products was used
26 in suspended ceilings. Suspended ceilings are made by hanging a 27 wood or metal frame from the structural members of a ceiling and
28 then laying square or rectangular decorative and insulating pieces
1 into the frame. Those pieces were termed "lay-in boards." Such 2 suspended ceilings used a significant amount of the room's 3 vertical space and because that vertical space cost money to 4 build, suspended ceilings were most commonly found in commercial' 5 buildings or office buildings, which typically had higher ceilings 6 than houses during the 1956-1978 period when Kaiser Gypsum made 7 the products. The Firtex line of products was quite successful, 8 and Kaiser Gypsum sold them in great volume, r::

1. Kaiser Gypsum Ordinary And 1-Hour Fire Rated Mineral Fiberboard Products - Mo Asbestos Used
12 As high-rise buildings became more common in California
13 during the 1960's, building code authorities became increasingly
14 concerned about the risks of fires in those buildings and
15 encouraged the development and use of products that were less
16 likely to burn. Since its Firtex wood-chip products would burn,
17 Kaiser Gypsum sought to develop other ceiling tile and lay-in
18 board products that would be more resistant to fire. Kaiser 19 Gypsum found that the manufacturing machinery at its St. Helens, 20 Oregon plant could be used to make ceiling tiles and lay-in boards 21 for suspended ceilings with various types of mineral wool as the 22 principal component (instead of wood chips). Mineral wool is the 23 name given to products made by heating various types of rock to 24 extremely high temperature (where they melt), spinning them into 25 threads, and then letting them cool. Mineral wool looks something 26 like steel wool that is used for rubbing rust off of metal or used 27 in certain kitchen scouring pads. Mineral wool does resist fire 28 and Kaiser Gypsum was successful in developing ceiling tiles and

5/8`' by 12" by 12" and. the lay-in boards came in two sizes: 1/2" 23
or 5/8" by 24" by 24" and 1/2" or 5/8" by 24" by 48." They were 24
packaged'and sold in boxes of various quantities. The boxes 25
contained the name of the manufacturer, Kaiser Gypsum Company, 26
Inc., the name of the product and other printed material. Kaiser 27
Gypsum's 2-hour fire-rated ceiling tiles and suspended ceiling 28
1 lay-in board products (in which chrysotile asbestos was used as a
2 component) were required to be specially marked because they 3 looked similar to other Kaiser Gypsum mineral fiberboard ceiling 4 tiles and lay-in boards (that did not.contain asbestos as a c
component) and building inspectors wanted to be able to check to
6 make sure that products with a 2-hour fire resistance
.
1 classification actually were being used by the building contractor
S when those had been specified. It is believed that 2-hour fire c rated ceiling tile and suspended ceiling lay-in board was stamped
1( on the back with either the initial "KG" or the word "Kaiser
1] Gypsum." It is believed that this marking was employed during the
i: entire period that the 2-hour fire-rated products were
i: manufactured by Kaiser Gypsum. i` (g) Kaiser Gypsum is unsure as to the intended meaning of 1! "The U.S. Government's 'Qualified Products List'," but has no

Null-A-Fire Type-X Gypsum Wallboard Allegedly Contaminated Venniculite Ore
8 This part of Kaiser Gypsum's response, though not directly
9 called for by the subject interrogatories, is being made in light
.0 of earlier versions of Kaiser Gypsum's responses to these
.1 interrogatories and evolving knowledge, in the context of .2 historical regulatory uncertainties and disputes about whether
vermiculite ore used as a component in some Kaiser Gypsum Null-A .3
Fire Type-X Gypsum Wallboard products may have- been contaminated L4
in a way that caused, certain workers, to be exposed to airborne L5
"asbestos." Kaiser Gypsum's position is that no Kaiser Gypsum L6
Null-A-Fire Type-X Gypsum Wallboard using vermiculice ore as a 11
component: could have been a substantial contributing factor to any
disease caused by exposure to airborne asbestos fibers.
As background, in 1954 Kaiser Gypsum introduced Nuil-A-Fire
brand wallboard, a 5/8" thick gypsum wallboard that was approved
by the Research Committee of the Pacific Coast Building Officials
Conference and certified by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters for a one-hour fire rating. This product was
developed in response to the appearance of California building
code requirements that walls in several types of public buildings
must have such one-hour fire resistance. The term one-hour fire
rating meant that, when used as a wall surface, the gypsum
v,.:j) s* : ' '^'4. ^ \
\
J
1 wallboard would resist the passage of flame and heat for at least
2| one hour. The certified product'had to be made in accordance with
3 Underwriters Laboratories Code No. 3543. Wallboard products that 4 were fire rated were labeled as "Type X" to distinguish them from 5! ordinary gypsum wallboard products that had not passed fire-rating 6| tests. 7 When introduced in 1954, the primary component of Kaiser
8 Gypsum's Null-A-Fire wallboard was gypsum stucco, which is the
9 gypsum plaster that forms the greatest percentage by 'weighr of all
10! gypsum wallboard. Gypsum plaster, including wallboard scucco,
11 does not burn, and consequently, all gypsum plaster and gypsum
12 drywall construction poses less risk of fire than does wall
.
13 construction featuring wood or plastic paneling. However, the
14 ordinary 5/8" gypsum wallboard did not pass the one-hour fire
15 test, because the heat of the test caused the gypsum plaster to
16| shrink and crack, letting the fire through in less than an hour.
17 Kaiser Gypsum, found that by.adding small proportions of glass
18 fiber and perlite a board could be constructed that would resist
19| shrinking and cracking under the heat of the fire test for the
20' required one-hour period. Perlite is a very light substance,
21 white in color, that looks like puffed breakfast cereal. It is
22! often used in soil for potted plants to help keep the soil from
23 caking. Perlite is made by heating little pieces of volcanic
24 glass to.very high temperatures, which causes them to pop like
25 popcorn.
26| Kaiser Gypsum continued to market its Null-A-Fire Type X
27 gypsum wallboard products that contained perlite for more than a
28 decade following -their introduction in 1954. However,, other
manufacturers introduced fire-rated wallboard products that used
vermiculite instead of perlite to provide added fire protection.
Vermiculite is a mica-like mineral found in the ground in a number
of places. In the 1890's it was known by gold prospectors as
"fool's gold," because it sparkled in the sun like precious metal.
Vermiculite does not weigh much, which makes it useful as a
component of construction materials and t-he melting point of
vermiculite is about 2500 degrees, which makes it valuable as
fireproofing.
"'
Vermiculite consists of many layers of thin plates that have
small amounts of water trapped in them. When heated, the water
turns to steam causing these plates to expand. Such expanded
vermiculite is used by nurseries everywhere to help hold air and
moisture in plant soil so that, young plants will grow faster and
stronger.
Until 1965, Kaiser Gypsum could not use vermiculite to
provide fire protection in gypsum wallboard,'because other
companies had secured patents from the United States- government
which gave them exclusive rights to use vermiculite in their
gypsum wallboard products. Ir. 1965, Kaiser Gypsum secured patent
licenses from other companies which authorized Kaiser Gypsum to
begin with vermiculite in its wallboard products to provide
increased protection against fire. Kaiser Gypsum then began to
develop such. pall.board products and to present them for fire
testing. Since vermiculite expands when it is heated, vermiculite
used in a wallboard tends to offset the shrinkage that occurs in
gypsum when it is heated, and thus, vermiculite could serve to
help a wallboard to hold its shape and provide the desired fire
1 protection. Because the capacity to expand was desired, the 2 Kaiser Gypsum products used as 'the ingredient vermiculite that had 3 not previously been heat-expanded. This unexpanded vermiculite 4 was referred to sometimes as vermiculite ore. When testing and 5 fire code authorities recognized and certified these Kaiser Gypsum 6 products as fire-rated, or qualified to be marketed as "Type X," 7 Kaiser Gypsum began marketing vermiculite-containing gypsum 8 wallboard under its Null-A-fire brand. Kaiser Gypsum manufactured 9 limited quantities of 1/2" Null-A-Fire Type X wallboard beginning 10 in 1967, and began manufacturing 5/8" Null-A-Fire Type X wallboard 11 in 1969. It continued to market such products until it disposed 12 of the last of its gypsum business in April 1978. Like other 13 wallboard products, those Null-A-Fire wallboards consisted 14 primarily of gypsum piaster. The formulas varied over the years 15 but the vermiculite ore percentage did not exceed 4% by weight of 16 the products. 17 Controversy concerning vermiculite reflects the regulatory 18 proposals published and regulations adopted by the U.S. 19 Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") and the 20 responses of vermiculite companies to those government actions. 21 OSKA is a U.S government agency, created by federal legislation in 22 1970, that adopts and enforces workplace safety and health 23 regulations. OSHA has been politically controversial from the 24 beginning. California originally established a parallel state 25 program administered by its Division of Occupational Safety and 26 Health, but that agency and program were terminated several years 27 ago.

The federal OSHA undertook to regulate exposure to "asbestos" 2 in the workplace as one of its first regulatory.undertakings, and 3 OSHA adopted regulations on asbestos in 1972. {See Kaiser 4 Gypsum's response to Interrogatory No. 15, below.) Thereafter, it 5 undertook to enforce those regulations. In due course, it began 6 to threaten manufacturers who used various substances other than 7 asbestos with charges of violating the OSHA asbestos exposure 8 regulations. This triggered a long-lasting legal and scientific 9 dispute concerning what minerals are "asbestos" for purposes of 10 the OSHA regulations and what minerals should be regulated like 11 asbestos even if they are not asbestos. 12 In that context, vermiculite supplier W.R. Grace & Co. 13 (hereinafter "Grace") issued an "Important Notice to Vermiculite 14 Ore Processors," dated March 17, 1976 warning that "employers of' 15 workers handling vermiculite ore" should be "aware of the OSHA 16 regulations," because OSHA. was applying them to Grace vermiculite 17 plants and proposed to make the regulation of dust mere strict 18 under the regulations. Grace stated that the issues related to 19 vermiculite reflected a "trampmineral "found in vermiculite 20 deposits" named "tremolite, defined by OSHA as one of the asbestos 21 family." Disputes over these OSHA proposals persisted for years. 22 Then, on June 20, 1986, OSHA published in the Federal Register (at 23 51 Fed. Reg. 22612) a "Final Rule" that defined "asbestos" to 24 include "tremolite." and applied asbestos exposure limits and 25 warnings to tremolite. However, shortly thereafter those 26 regulations were "stayed," that is, not made effective, by OSHA as 27 to tremolite and several other minerals to prevent the federal 28 courts from deciding whether the regulations were "arbitrary and
V ?'
J
1 capricious." (See 51 Fed. Reg. 37002; Oct. 17, 1986.) The
scientific and regulatory debate continued for more years until
OSHA published regulations in 1992 (57 Fed. Reg. 24310; June 8,
1992) declaring that some tremolite is "platy" or non-fibrous, and 5 "platy tremolite" would not be deemed to be asbestos. 6 However, OSHA found other tremolite was fibrous or 7 "asbestiform" and that such "asbestiform tremolite" would be 8 regulated as asbestos. OSHA further limited these.regulations by 9 providing that even products with asbestiform tremolite would not 10 be subject to asbestos regulation if asbestiform tremolite "is 11 present in a product in concentrations less than 1.0 percent by 12 weight." 13 _ Kaiser Gypsum admits that for a limited number of years some
14 of its Null-A-Fire products contained vermiculite, but Kaiser
15 Gypsum denies that these products contained asbestiform tremolite.
16 Kaiser Gypsum further contends that any attempt under state law to
17 deem any products that have less than the amount that would
18 subject them to federal regulation to be asbestos-containing
19 products would be preempted by federal law and the Supremacy
20 Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

26 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 13:
'
27 During 1952 Kaiser Gypsum purchased Joint Cement, Cover-Tex
28 texture paint and Kaiser-Tex texture paint from Wesco Waterpaints,
i Inc., then located in Berkeley, California, that was packaged in 2 Kaiser Gypsum's name. It is unlcnown to Kaiser.Gypsum whether 3 asbestos was used as a component of those products. During 4! December 1953, after Kaiser Gypsum began manufacturing joint 5 compounds and texture paints, Kaiser Gypsum entered into an 6 agreement with Wesco Waterpaints, Inc., then located in Berkeley, 7 California, to purchase joint cement, topping compound and texture
8 paint packaged in Kaiser Gypsum's name for a^period of 90 days.
9 It is unknown to Kaiser Gypsum whether any purchases"were made
10 pursuant to this agreement or whether any products purchased had
11 asbestos as a component. In an abundance of caution, Kaiser
12 Gypsum is providing the information it has obtained from its
13 records. Kaiser Gypsum has no information demonstrating that any
14 product obtained from Wesco Waterpaints, Inc. was an asbestos-
15 containing product. Kaiser Gypsum knows of no other agreement
16 entered by it that provided for rebranding any product of another
11 company's which may have beer, an asbestos-containing product in ,
18 Kaiser Gypsum's name for sale in California.
.
IS RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO-^14:
Kaiser Gypsum did not purchase or acquire asbestos from the
"General Service Administration" or any branch or agency of the
United States Government.
RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 15:
Yes,..as. .to products marketed in 1972 or thereafter.
(a) Beginning in 1972, in response to regulations adopted by
the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (see 37
Fed. Reg. 11318, June 7, 1972), Kaiser Gypsum affixed caution
labels to the packages and containers of its asbestos-containing
1 products. The OSHA regulations requiring this label were made 2 subject to the limitation that "no label is required where 3 asbestos fibers have been modified by a bonding agent, coating, 4 binder, or other material so that during any reasonably 5 foreseeable use, handling, storage, disposal, processing, or . 6 transportation, no airborne concentrations of asbestos in excess 7 of the exposure limits prescribed in paragraph (b) of this section 8 will be released." In light of then-existing ambiguities as to 9 what tests OSHA would recognize as adequate to demonstrate a 10 product's falling within this exception, Kaiser Gypsum applied the 11 caution label to all its then-manufactured products in which 12 chrysotile asbestos was used as a component. 13 Initially, the labels were four inches by eight inches in 14 size and had yellow backgrounds with red letters. They were 15 affixed to the bag or container of the product by adhesive in a 16 prominent place. Later, as new bags and containers were ' 17 purchased, the labels were printed onto the side of the bag or 18 container and are believed to have been the same color or colors 19 as the bag/container or the pointing thereon. The label read: 20 CAUTION: contains asbestos fibers; avoid 21 creating dust; breathing asbestos dust may 22 cause serious bodily harm. 23 (b) Beginning in 1972; exact date unknown. 24 (c) _This label caution remained the same during the 25 remaining time the products upon which it was used continued to 26 use asbestos as a component. 27 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 16: 28 Not applicable.

1 RESPONSE TO IMTERROG&TORY NO. 17:
Most of Kaiser Gypsum's products were sold in the form of a
powder or paste; therefore, the.name of the company was on the
packaging of the product. However, Kaiser Gypsum's 2-hour fire
rated ceiling tiles and suspended ceiling lay-in board products
(in which asbestos was used as a component were specially marked
because they looked similar to other Kaiser Gypsum mineral
fiberboard ceiling tiles and lay-in boards (that did not contain 9 asbestos as a component) and building inspectors wanted to be able 10 to check to make sure that 2-hour fire-rated products actually 11 were being used by the building contractor when those had been 12 specified. It is believed that each piece of 2-hour fire-rated 13 ceiling tile and suspended ceiling lay-in board was stamped on the 14 back with either the initial "KG" or the word "Kaiser Gypsum."
15 Such marking was employed during the entire period that the 2-hour
16 fire-rated products were manufactured by Kaiser Gypsum.
