No. 19 Vitircel, as an insurer's list spells it, was a cement made by Philip Carey; Philip Carey's own answers spell it Vitricel.1,2,3 In sworn answers given in two lawsuits, in 1969 and 1970, the Philip Carey Corporation said No. 19 Vitricel Cement was made from 1940 to 1967 of asbestos fiber and mica.2,3
A 1990 EPA notice that published what the Celotex Corporation reported, naming Philip Carey as its predecessor, gives one figure for Vitricel Cement #10 and #19 together: produced from 1940 to 1967, containing 15 to 25% asbestos and 50% cement/slate flour.4 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives 19 Vitircel as made from 1940 to 1967, with 15 in the column read as percent asbestos.1
