Alltemp 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 1954 to 1958 of expanded perlite, bentonite clay and asbestos fiber.2,3
A 1990 EPA notice that published what the Celotex Corporation reported, naming Philip Carey as its predecessor, gives the same years, produced from 1954 to 1958, and says Alltemp was 60% perlite, 20% magnesia plastic, 10% bentonite clay and 10 to 12% asbestos.4 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as pipe and block insulation made from 1954 to 1958, with 12 in the column read as percent asbestos; a second entry in the list names it only as a Philip Carey pipe covering.1
