Kaytherm (Nicolet)

Kaytherm was a pipe covering, block and cement, listed first under Keasbey & Mattison Co. and later under Nicolet.1,2 The Navy's qualified products list QPL-2781 listed Kaytherm, Grade I, Class b, under Keasbey & Mattison Co. of Ambler, Pennsylvania, with the plant at the same address, in its May 1958 edition.2 By June 1962 the listing read "KaytherM-1700," still under Keasbey & Mattison.2 The September 1965 edition lists KaytherM-1700 under Nicolet Industries, Inc. of Florham Park, New Jersey, with its plant 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 Kaytherm pipe covering, block and cement under Nicolet as made from 1962 to 1964, with the note "Keasby & Mattison-62."1 It gives 15 in the column read as percent asbestos.1
