Dear Bob
Kaylo is a temperature insulating material chemically a hydrous
calcium silicate manufactured by Illinois until 1958. It that time the two plants where we made Kaylo were sold to Corning and since then Illinois has had nothing to do with Kaylo The material your policyholder is handling evidently was made during the Cwons-
Illinois era
Kaylo has less
is held in the
than 20 asbestos in In new installations
matrix and there's minimal exposure
each
fiber
As
well know there is more interest in asbestos now than formerly
you
Attached
is
a
pamphlet
put out by NIMA
sent me
by Mr.
Edwards
Owens-
on asbestos insulation generally It is pointed towards con-
Corning struction people and so is extremely elementary
You are well acquainted

It was good to hear from you and I hope to see you in Denver
Sincerely yours
