Aircel (Philip Carey)

Aircel was a pipe covering and board made by Philip Carey from asbestos paper.1,2 In sworn answers given in two lawsuits, in 1969 and 1970, the Philip Carey Corporation, which spelled it Aircell, listed Aircell Pipe Covering and Board as made from 1906 to 1960 of asbestos paper (asbestos fiber and starch) and sodium silicate.2,3 The 1970 answers place that work at Lockland, Ohio.3

The same answers also list "Asbestos Paper Pipe Covering (4, 6 and 8 ply Aircell Coverings)" as made at Linden, New Jersey, from February 18, 1969 to the present.2,3 Yet the 1970 answers also say, of asbestos paper insulation in general and without naming Aircell: "We discontinued the manufacture of asbestos paper insulation products approximately eight years ago."3 The documents leave that difference unexplained.3

A 1990 EPA notice that published what the Celotex Corporation reported, naming Philip Carey as its predecessor, gives one figure for a group of "Paper Pipe Products" (Aircel, Careycel, Carocel, Defendex, Excel, Glosscell and Multi-Ply): produced from 1906 to the early 1970's, containing approximately 60% asbestos, 25% organic fiber and 15% silicate.4 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives Aircel as pipe covering and block made from 1906 to 1960, with 60 in the column read as percent asbestos.1
