Pyrospray I,T & S (Keene)

Pyrospray I, T & S was a family of three spray-applied insulations that later came under Keene.1,2 Keene's report published by the EPA in 1990 says Pyrospray Types I, T and S were produced from 1963 to "the early 1970's" by companies the report abbreviates as BEH and KBPC.2 Each was a dry mixture, mixed with water at a nozzle and applied pneumatically.2

Keene gives a different asbestos content for each type: Type I was mineral wool, 32% chrysotile asbestos and inorganic binders and inhibitors.2 Type T combined dry mineral wool, 15% asbestos and inorganic binders and inhibitors.2 Type S, also known as Uni-Coustic, was mineral wool, 22% chrysotile asbestos and hydraulic setting binders and inhibitors.2 Keene says asbestos was removed from all three types of Pyrospray prior to 1972.2

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Pyrospray I, T & S spray insulation under Keene as made from 1963 to 1971, with Baldwin-Ehret-Hill in its note column and 15-32 in the column read as percent asbestos.1
