Careytemp (Philip Carey)

Careytemp was a pipe covering and block insulation made by The Philip Carey Manufacturing Company.1,2 In August 1959, Carey announced that Careytemp had been introduced after three years' research by its Insulation Division at Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, for temperatures up to 1600°F.1

Carey described it as expanded silica with a specially developed binder, "reinforced with an inorganic fibre"; by 1964 it was saying "expanded perlite, a silica."1,3 Carey's notices in Asbestos magazine never name that fiber.1,4,5 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives Careytemp pipe covering and block as made from 1958 to 1969, with 6 in the column read as percent asbestos.6

The line grew through the 1960s. Carey added premolded Careytemp elbows in 1963, also furnished for steam tracing, and announced Dual Careytemp and Careytemp 2000 in 1965.5,7 It was still showing "the entire Careytemp line" at trade shows in 1968.8
