Thermalite was a Philip Carey product made of asbestos and sodium silicate.1 The Celotex Corporation, which names Philip Carey Corporation and the Philip Carey Manufacturing Company as its predecessors, listed it among Philip Carey's "accessory products" in a 1990 EPA notice that published what companies told the agency.1 Celotex says Thermalite was produced from 1906 to 1937 and contained 85% asbestos and 15% sodium silicate.1
An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Thermalite under Philip Carey with a single year, 1937, in its manufacture-date columns.2 It gives no product type or asbestos figure for it.2
