Product Description

Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (founded 1860, headquartered Lancaster PA) is through the 20th century and today one of the principal U.S. manufacturers of floor coverings, ceiling systems, insulation products, and specialty building materials. Armstrong manufactured through the asbestos era a broad line of asbestos-containing products (separately covered on multiple individual Armstrong product pages within this AP defendant index):

  • Excelon vinyl-asbestos floor tile and asphalt tile — the industry-leading U.S. commercial and residential floor tile through the asbestos era
  • Armstrong acoustical ceiling tile — commercial and institutional building ceiling systems
  • Armstrong LT cork covering — pipe covering and low-temperature insulation
  • Armstrong Accobest gasket material
  • Armstrong pumps and mechanical equipment with asbestos components
  • Numerous specialty products — mastics, adhesives, sealers, cements

Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Armstrong World Industries asbestos-containing products exposed floor-covering installers, insulators, construction workers, apartment maintenance workers, and DIY consumers to substantial airborne asbestos through the documented era.

Armstrong World Industries has been named as a Manufacturer Defendant in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation on an extremely large scale. Armstrong World Industries entered Chapter 11 in 2000 driven by asbestos personal-injury liability and emerged 2006 through asbestos-trust mechanisms. The Armstrong World Industries Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust handles Armstrong asbestos personal-injury liability.
