Carocel (Philip Carey)

Carocel was a Philip Carey pipe covering and block insulation.¹ An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Carocel pipecover and block under Philip Carey as made from 1925 to 1960.¹ That list gives no asbestos figure for it.¹

The Celotex Corporation, which names Philip Carey Corporation and the Philip Carey Manufacturing Company as its predecessors, reported on Philip Carey's products in a 1990 EPA notice that published what companies told the agency.² It names Carocel among seven "Paper Pipe Products," along with Aircel, Careycel, Defendex, Excel, Glosscell and Multi-Ply.² Celotex says that group was produced from 1906 to "the early 1970's" and contained approximately 60% asbestos, 25% organic fiber and 15% silicate.² Those are figures for the whole group, not for Carocel alone.²
