Thermo-board (Philip Carey)

Thermo-Board was a wallboard made by Philip Carey.1 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists it under Philip Carey as made from 1925 to 1969.1

A 1990 EPA notice published what Celotex, which counts Philip Carey among its predecessors, reported about the board, spelled there "Thermo-bord," with the same years, 1925 to 1969.2 Celotex described it as non-asbestos insulation covered with A–C sheets, and gave the asbestos content of those facing sheets as 20%.2 That figure is for the facing sheets, not the insulation inside them.2
