BACKGROUND CONTINUED The principle materials used at this activity for the insulation and lagging of high temperature piping and boilers are asbestos products . The Philadelphia Naval Shipyard has developed for local use a standard insulation lagging plan for piping systems -20 to 1200 reference c This plan approved materials other than asbestos for all piping systems at less cost containing materials The principle area of savings being in the use of J.

Proposed Re Your Inquiry 6764 9390 287 Ser 743 Insulating Materials for Naval Vessels Subject inquiry raises a number of questions concerning A the feasibility of substituting alternate materials used as lagging pipe and boiler insulation for asbestos in naval ships and B safety precautions to be followed installation and replacement during the manufacturing manufacturing processing of asbestos containing containing insulations This letter is Manville's reply to your inquiry Before answering your questions I would like that in most naval to state that it applicationsapplications no other Insulation satisfactorily as those material containing asbestos is our opinion will perform as It is also our opinion that when followed asbestos proper safety and health health precautions are containing insulations do not workman Therefore we believe that the present a major hazard to the handling of asbestos emphasis should be placed on safe materials containing insulations rather than searching for substitute It is in fine with this belief belief that Johns Workers Union is Manville together with the Asbestos at Mount sponsoring sponsoring the Insulation Insulation Industry Hygiene Research Steal School of Medleine This Program copies of Insulation Insulation program program is described in the attached Hygiene Hygiene Progress Reports Dr. of Mount Sinai Environmental Sciences Irving J. Selikoff Director Research Program would be Laboratory and Director of this lygione and the goals of the glad to discuss with you in detail the procedures program Our replies to your specific questions are as follows Dr. M.

This compound serves to becomes sticky when immersed in the amount of dust created encase encase the asbestos fibers thus reducing during handling and installation Question Question f Asbestos Asbestos containing insulations are manufactured in Manville plants under strict dust control conditions All steps in the is generated generated whether asbestos process where dust control control containing or not are provided with dust systems engineered to rigid specifications Question . As to materials and replacement and methods that will reduce dust of insulations we have the generation during following comments installation A - Materials 1 The use of our new molded THERMOBESTOS LD insulation to calcium silicate elbow eliminate field and shop fabrication of this item Use of this material would also eliminate the need for applying the finishing cement that is mixing and Fabricated Fabricated elbow Insulation required with the field stainless 2 The use of oar anetant " Calman silicate pipe Tumulat METAL oe stainless The metal steel calefum insulation jacket on the pipe greatly reduces dust generation during installation and removal B - Methods The adoption to reduce or and enforcement of improved working procedures eliminate dust generation including and practices Dr. M. Anmuth June 13 1969 1 Cutting and fabrication of insulation insulation local fabricating shop equipped with performed in a central or to maintain dust suitable dust control devices concentrations below hazardous levels 2 More detailed design of shipboard piping to reduce The interference that requires the cutting cutting and or eliminate abrading of the insulation at the time of installation 3.

Holmes , Asbestosis Secretary Research Council Post Office Box 40 Rochdale Lancashire England It is difficult for us to comment on the cost of asbestos containing insulations that would meet your specifications It is our opinion however that such insulations would be higher in cost than the present asbestos containing insulations For your further information on the subject of asbestos and health I enclose copies of two papers prepared by Manville entitled Asbestos Asbestos and Human Health and -- A Family of Minerals am also enclosing enclosing enclosing have mentioned sales literature describing the Manville products * Jolms Manny Naval Ship Ele sentatives sentatives would be available to EngineeriEnnginegering Center to discuss the subject meet with you at the in greater detail and answer any questions that may be raised by our comments in this letter we would be pleased to have and Also you your associates visit our Manville N.
