Hy-temp (Nicolet)

Hy-Temp was a pipe and block insulation, listed first under Keasbey & Mattison Co. and later under Nicolet.^1,2 The Navy's qualified products list QPL-2781, in its December 1951 edition, listed HY-TEMP, Grade III, Class e, under Keasbey & Mattison Co., with its plant at Ambler, Pennsylvania.² The September 1965 edition lists Hy-Temp under Nicolet Industries, Inc., with the plant still at Ambler, and it is still there in May 1969.² These listings say nothing about asbestos.²

An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Hy-Temp pipe and block insulation under Nicolet as made from 1962 to 1965, with the note "Keasbey & Mattison -1962."¹ An undated Nicolet product picture carries the words "best in asbestos."³
