Excel was a Philip Carey pipe covering and board.1,2 In sworn answers to interrogatories in two lawsuits against Fibreboard and others, the Potter case in December 1969 and the Borel case in April 1970, Philip Carey Corporation listed "Excel Pipe Covering and Board" for 1906 to 1960 and described it as "Asbestos paper and sodium silicate."1,3 Its Borel answers name Lockland, Ohio.1
An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Excel pipe covering under Philip Carey as made from 1906 to 1960, with 80 in the column read as percent asbestos and the note "ASBESTOS PAPER & SODIUM SIL."2
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.4 It names Excel among seven "Paper Pipe Products," along with Aircel, Careycel, Carocel, Defendex, Glosscell and Multi-Ply, and says that group was produced from 1906 to "the early 1970's."4 It says the group contained approximately 60% asbestos, 25% organic fiber and 15% silicate, figures for the whole group rather than Excel alone.4 So the insurer's list gives 80 where Celotex's group figure is approximately 60%, and Philip Carey's own answers end the product in 1960 where Celotex's group runs to the early 1970s.1,2,4
