Widespread Bondex International Asbestos Exposure

Bondex International, Inc. was one of many companies that used asbestos materials in their products that were used by workers in many different industries. Bondex products were commonly used for construction, so not only were the employees manufacturing them at risk of serious toxic exposure, but so were thousands of construction workers around the nation.

As a result of such devastating, widespread exposure, and a large number of ensuing lawsuits, the Bondex Asbestos Trust was established in 2016. This was the only was the company could remain solvent and process and pay out all valid asbestos personal injury claims. If you were injured by a Bondex asbestos product, you can still take legal action and file a claim against the company. Call for a free consultation.

What Products Did Bondex Manufacture?

Bondex manufactured construction materials with asbestos materials up until the 1980s. Although the company stopped using asbestos in their products, many toxic installations still exist in older buildings. The asbestos fibers in these areas can be released if these products are disturbed.

Asbestos was used in so many construction and building materials before the 1980s due to its strength, availability, fire-resistance and durability. Bondex made joint compounds, joint cements, and patching products containing asbestos, including the following:

• Bondex Handy Patch
• Bondex Multi-Patch
• Bondex All Purpose Joint Cement
• Bondex All Purpose Joint Compound
• Bondex Ready Mixed Joint Cement
• Dramex Interior Finish
• Reardon’s All-Purpose Joint Cement
• Reardon’s Ready Mixed Joint Cement
• Reardon’s SX Joint Cement
• Reardon’s SX Topping Cement
• Reardon’s Handy Patch
• SX Joint Cement

Beside those who worked in Bondex plants, workers in the construction industry who handled Bondex at job sites were at the highest risk of acute asbestos exposure. Asbestos cancer claims have been filed by the following:

• Construction workers
• Electricians
• Factory workers
• Firefighters
• HVAC workers
• Insulation installers
• Roofers

To access asbestos trust funds, former Bondex workers and claimants need to meet a certain set of eligibility requirements regarding their verified medical condition and proof of their work history that links their illness to their occupational exposure to asbestos. The qualifying asbestos-related diseases include mesothelioma, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, other cancers and asbestosis.

To file a Bondex claim, the alleged exposure must have occurred before December 31, 1982, and there must have been between six months and five years of exposure depending on the disease and the circumstances of exposure.
