What they distributed—that’s at issue in this case— beginning in 1965 is something called Flexitallic gasket, which is asbestos–containing. They have sales beginning in 1967 at Mare Island Shipyard. Sometimes you will hear it referred to as “MINSY”—Mare Island Naval Shipyard.

Flexitallic gasket is a gasket that goes between two pipes in a flange where if you have a length of pipe—say a pipe this long—and I need to put it next to another pipe this long—I have some way to join the two pipes together. So there will be flanges or big fatter areas where I can put bolts. And I don’t want to have metal to metal because I’ll have a leak. That’s where you put a gasket, something that you can smush down—squish. And as you tighten the nuts and the bolts, you get it so it won’t leak. Well, Flexitallic is a company. They made the gasket, and they sold it to Power Engineering. If you wanted a gasket, you bought it from Power Engineering Company. Those gaskets, Flexitallic gaskets, contained asbestos.
