Hightemp #15 was a Philip Carey pipe covering and block insulation.1,2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists it under Philip Carey as made from 1906 to 1952, with 20 in the column read as percent asbestos.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 Among "Other Pipe Coverings," which it says were produced from 1906 to February 1967, it lists "Hi-temp #12 and #15" together.2 It gives the two as 60% diatomaceous earth, 20% magnesia plastic and 20% asbestos, one figure for both.2 The insurer's list ends the product in 1952, while Celotex's dates for the group run to February 1967.1,2
