Travelers Asbestos Seminar Booklet (1980): Celotex Product Information

Travelers' data sheet for The Celotex Corporation of Tampa, which bought the assets and assumed the liabilities of Philip Carey Corporation in 1972, with an Exhibit A listing 62 asbestos-containing Philip Carey and Celotex products and their asbestos content, and a product list by plant for Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, Linden, New Jersey, and one unnamed plant. The products range from Carey's 1906 lines (Aircel pipe covering, 85% Magnesia, asbestos cements and papers) to items still sold under the Celotex name, and the sheet notes the Carey-Canadian Mines subsidiary at East Broughton, Quebec. As compiled by Travelers, Celotex claimed first knowledge of hazards in 1972, though the sheet adds that it probably had knowledge through Philip Carey in the late 1950s; labeling began in 1971 (Philip Carey) and 1972 (Celotex), and Careytemp was made asbestos-free in September 1969.
