Careycel (Philip Carey)

Careycel was an insulation of asbestos paper and sodium silicate, made by Philip Carey as pipe covering and board.1,2 In sworn answers in a 1969 lawsuit, Philip Carey listed Careycel Pipe Covering and Board under its Lockland, Ohio plant, made from 1906 to 1960.1 The same answer was later read into the record of the Borel trial.3 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives the same years, 1906 to 1960, with "ASBST PAPER/SODIEM SILICATE" in its note column.2

What it contained

The sources give different figures.2,4 The 1981 list gives 75-80 in the column read as percent asbestos.2 A 1990 EPA notice published what Celotex, which counts Philip Carey among its predecessors, reported for a whole group of "Paper Pipe Products," Careycel among them: approximately 60% asbestos, 25% organic fiber and 15% silicate.4 That is a figure for the group, not for Careycel alone, and the notice says the group was produced from 1906 to the early 1970's, later than the 1960 end in Carey's 1969 answers.1,4

How it was sold and used

A 1937 Carey ad in Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, offered Careycel insulation for temperatures up to 300° F.5 In 1941 Carey's Canadian company advertised "Careycel Asbestos Insulation" especially for low-pressure work, claiming it cut heat losses 30% at the same price range.6 It came as pipe covering, duct insulation, and blocks and boards for pipes, heating equipment, miscellaneous equipment and air conditioning units.6 A 1946 Carey booklet presented it as a lightweight heat insulation for commercial and industrial use, with specifications for insulating hot water and steam pipes, boilers, air conditioning systems and heating appliances.7 In 1953 the Taylor-Seidenbach Company, newly appointed a Carey distributor and contractor, said it would carry complete stocks of Careycel.8
