Vitricel (Philip Carey)

Vitricel was a Philip Carey name for asbestos sheets and cement.1,2 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Vitricel sheets and cement under Philip Carey as made from 1940 to 1967, with 15 in the column read as percent asbestos.1

A 1990 EPA notice published what Celotex, which counts Philip Carey among its predecessors, reported for the two forms separately: Vitricel Cement, numbers 10 and 19, it says, was produced from 1940 to 1967 and contained 15 to 25% asbestos and 50% cement and slate flour, a figure given for the two cements together.2 It says Vitricel Asbestos Sheets were produced from 1941 to 1960 and contained 60% asbestos, with organic fiber, silicate and a waterproofing solution.2
