19 Hitemp (Philip Carey)

No. 19 Hitemp was a pipe covering and block insulation made by Philip Carey at Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania.1,2,3 In sworn answers given in two lawsuits, in 1969 and 1970, the Philip Carey Corporation said it was made from 1906 to 1961 of diatomaceous earth and asbestos fiber.2,3

A 1990 EPA notice that published what the Celotex Corporation reported, naming Philip Carey as its predecessor, lists Hi-temp #19 among "Other Pipe Coverings," a group it gives as produced from 1906 to February 1967, and says it was 80% diatomaceous earth and 20% asbestos.4 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as made from 1906 to 1961, with 15-20 in the column read as percent asbestos.1

The Navy's list of qualified products named Carey Hi-Temp #19, Grade III, Class e, in its December 1951 edition, under Philip Carey (spelled "Phillip" in the list) of Lockland Station, Cincinnati, Ohio, with the plant at Plymouth Meeting, Pa.5 It was still listed, as Type II, in the August 1962 edition.5
