Carey-temp (Celotex)

Carey-Temp was a pipe covering and block insulation, listed under Celotex in the later documents.1,2 In a 1990 EPA notice that published what the company reported, Celotex, which names the Philip Carey Manufacturing Company among its predecessors, lists Careytemp among its pipe covering and block products.2

That notice says Careytemp was produced from 1958 to 1969 and was 90% perlite, 6 to 7% asbestos and binders, and that the asbestos was removed in 1969.2 It also lists two other versions among its other pipe coverings: Dual Careytemp, given as 10% asbestos, and Careytemp 2000, given as 93.6% diatomaceous earth and 6.4% asbestos.2

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives Carey-Temp pipe covering and block under Celotex as made from 1964 to 1970, with no asbestos figure.1

Earlier years: Careytemp under Philip Carey.
