One (1) IN RE COMPLEX ASBESTOS LITIGATION No. 607734-9 21 IN RE SHIPYARD AND APPLICATOR ASBESTOS CASES (Consolidated 22 for Discovery) No. 537868-7 23 OWENS-ILLINOIS, INC. by and through its counsel of 24 record hereby responds in writing under oath to plaintiff's 25 first set of interrogatories. 26 27 28 ASBO0-129:06600.00001 -1- L PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 2 Some of the events which may be relevant to the 3 matters inquired about by Plaintiffs* Interrogatories 4 apparently occurred more than thirty-five years ago. In 5 addition, effective April 30, 1958, Owens-Illinois, Inc. 6 disposed of the business involved in this action by way of sale 7 of that business to Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation. Since 8 that time, Owens-Illinois, Inc. has not engaged in any such 9 business. It does not now and it has not since that sale 10 manufactured, distributed or sold any asbestos-containing 11 products. As a result of the foregoing factors, many of the 12 individuals who might have had personal knowledge of the matters to which plaintiffs' interrogatories relate are 13 14 deceased, or are otherwise unavailable to Owens-Illinois, Inc., and investigations to date indicate that at least some 15 documents which relate to matters inquired about by these 16 interrogatories may have been transferred to Owens-Corning 17 Fiberglas Corporation with the transfer of the business in 18 19 question in 1958. Owens-Illinois, Inc. is engaged in a continuing investigation in an attempt to locate, confirm the 20 transfer of, or confirm the absence of, such documents and is 21 also engaged in a continuing investigation into the matters 22 inquired about in these interrogatories. Unless otherwise 23 stated in an answer to a specific interrogatory, the answers 24 .set-out-Jhereinafter are limited to the period during which '25 Owens-Illinois, Inc. manufactured asbestos-containing 26 insulation products and to the facilities related to that 27 28 ASB00-129:06600.00001 -2- i business. The following is part of and is incorporated by 2 reference in every answer provided hereinafter: 3 This answer is accurate as of the date made. 4 However, Owens-Illinois, Inc.'s investigation is 5 continuing, and Owens-Illinois, Inc. cannot exclude 6 the possibility that it -may be able to obtain more 7 complete information or even information which 8 indicates that the answer being supplied is 9 incorrect. Owens-Illinois, Inc. objects to answering 10 this interrogatory in regard to any period of time other than the period during which it engaged in the 11 business involved in this case which ended in 12 mid-1958 or concerning any facility not related to 13 14 that business, on the basis that any such answer would be irrelevant to the subject matter of the 15 pending litigation, would not be reasonably 16 calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible 17 evidence, and would be burdensome and oppressive. 18 Furthermore, Owens-Illinois, Inc. objects to the 19 instructions and definitions supplied by plaintiffs with regard 20 to these interrogatories, on the basis that the definitions are 21 overbroad, vague, and often inconsistent with the normal usage 22 and meaning of such words, and the instructions are overbroad, 23 burdensome and constitute an unreasonable expansion of the 24 interrogatories themselves. Owens-Illinois, Inc. therefore------ -- 25 gives noticd that it does not consider itself bound by the 26 instructions and definitions propounded by plaintiffs, and 27 instead shall answer the interrogatories in a manner consistent 28 ASBO0-129:06600.00001 -3- with a normal understanding of the language used in the 2 interrogatory and to the extent necessary to fairly and fully 3 answer the interrogatory. 4 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY 1: 5 (a-c) Arthur H. Smith, Assistant Secretary of 6 Owens-Illinois, Inc., One SeaGate, Toledo, Ohio 43666. 7 (d) This defendant objects to this interrogatory on 8 the basis that it seeks information which is not relevant to 9 the subject matter of this litigation and is not reasonably 10 calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 11 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 2: 12 (a-d) Owens-Illinois Glass Company was incorporated 13 in the State of Ohio in 1929. Owens-Illinois Glass Company 14 changed its name to Owens-Illinois, Inc. on April 28, 1965. 15 Due to corporate restructuring in 1987, this defendant is now a 16 Delaware corporation. The address of the principal place of 17 business is One SeaGate, Toledo, Ohio 43666. 18 (e) This defendant objects to this interrogatory on 19 the basis that it seeks information which is not relevant to the subject matter of this litigation and is not reasonably 20 calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 21 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 3: 22 Owens-Illinois Glass Company changed its name to 23 Owens-Illinois, Inc. on April 28, 1965.

The Kaylo Division of this defendant continued to 5 | i manufacture such products until about April 30, 1958 when it 6 ! was purchased by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation from this 7 defendant effective on that date. As of that time, this 8 defendant ceased the manufacture and sale of 9 asbestos-containing products, and it has not engaged in any 10 such business since that date. (b, c) This defendant objects to this interrogatory 11 on the basis that it seeks information which is not relevant to 12 the subject matter of this litigation and is not reasonably 13 calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 14 (f) This defendant's manufacturing plants were 15 located in Berlin, New Jersey and Sayreville, New Jersey. The 16 Berlin plant was in operation from approximately 1943 (as a 17 pilot plant at first) until on or about April 30, 1958. The 18 Sayreville plant was in operation from February, 1948 until 19 about April 30, 1953. 20 (g) Kaylo and Kaylo-20. 21 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 13: 22 No. This defendant does not now and has not in the 23 past engaged in the business of mining, milling, or selling raw 24 asbestos. 25 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 14: 26 This defendant ceased the manufacture, sale and 27 distribution of asbestos-containing products in 1958.

Its investigation as to information concerning any such United 18 19 States Patents is continuing. However, it appears that the following patents may have been related to this defendant's 20 asbestos-containing products at one time: 21 Patent No. Inventor 22 Issue Date 2,425,610 Finley 23 2,439,724 Finley 08-12-47 04-13-48 RE.23,228 Frasor 24 2,534,303 Serinis 05-09-50 12-19-51 2,540,354 Selden.................... - ---------02-06-51-- 25 2,547,127 Kalousek 04-03-51 2,570,835 Mooney, et al. 10-09-51 26 2,574,667 Shuman 11-13-51 2,665,996 Kalousek 27 2,748,008 Kalousek 01-12-54 05-29-56 28 ASB00-129:06600.00001 -9- 2,787,345 Soubier, et al. 04-02-57 i 2,788,304 Scovronek 04-09-57 2 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 19: 3 (a) Calcium silicate materials. 4 (b) Federal. 5 (c) 6/18/46, 5/11/48, 1/1/57. 6 (d) Trademarks printed or stenciled on containers of i materials. 8 (e) Trademark 421,786 republished 3/2/48. 9 (f) Owens-Illinois Glass Company. 10 (g) Law Department, Owens-Illinois, Inc. 11 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 20: 12 Not applicable to this defendant. This defendant 13 does not now and has not in the past engaged in the business of 14 mining, milling, or selling raw asbestos. This defendant 15 engaged in the business of commercially manufacturing, selling 16 and distributing an asbestos-containing product from 1948 17 through mid-1958. 18 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 21: 19 This defendant objects to this interrogatory on the 20 basis that it seeks information which is not relevant to the 21 subject matter of this litigation and is not reasonably 22 calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, 23 except as it relates to plaintiff's employers during 24 plaintiff's periods of employment. Without waiving the above 25' objection, this defendant has found no information on its 26 business records indicating that it ever sold, or otherwise ASB00-129:06600.00001 -10- supplied any of its asbestos-containing products to the General 2 Services Administration. 3 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 22; 4 This defendant objects to this interrogatory on the 5 basis that it seeks information which is not relevant to the 6 subject matter of this litigation and is not reasonably- 7 calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, 8 except as it relates to plaintiff's employers during 9 plaintiff's periods of employment.

This 15 defendant ceased the manufacture, sale and distribution of 16 asbestos-containing products in 1958 pursuant to the sale of 17 its Kaylo Division to Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation on 18 April 30, 1958. It has not found any information in its 19 records pertinent to a record or document retention policy 20 during the period when it manufactured its asbestos-containing 21 products or for the period of years shortly thereafter. In 22 accordance with the -contract for the sale of the Kaylo 23 Division, in the ordinary course of business relating to such 24 sale, and because of the production of certain documents by 25 other defendant's in asbestos-related litigation in the United 26 States, this defendant believes that most of its records 27 pertinent to the Kaylo Division were either transferred or made 28 ASB00-129:06600.00001 -11- This defendant ceased the manufacture, sale and distribution of 2 asbestos-containing products in 1958 and does not have 3 information sufficient to further answer this interrogatory. 4 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 29: 5 This defendant believes that some of its 6 asbestos-containing insulation products were packaged in 7 corrugated cartons with the trademark Kaylo on the carton. 8 This defendant ceased the manufacture, sale and distribution of 9 asbestos-containing products in 1958 and does not have 10 information sufficient to further answer this interrogatory.

Owens-Illinois never had "contract 20 units." 21 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 35: 22 Charles Shook, M.D., deceased, employed from March 23 25, 1946 until June 30, 1960 was the Medical Director during 24 the period in which this defendant manufactured, sold or 25 distributed asbestos-containing products. 26 W.G. Hazard was employed as this defendant's 27 industrial hygienist during the period of time in which this 28 ASB00-129:06600.00001 -14- defendant engaged in the manufacture, sale and distribution of 1 asbestos-containing products. Mr. Hazard has retired from this 2 defendant's employ and currently resides in Toledo, Ohio. This 3 4 defendant objects to further answering this interrogatory on 5 the grounds that it seeks information not relevant to the 6 subject matter of this litigation and not reasonably calculated 7 to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence except as it 8 relates to the period of time within which this defendant 9 manufactured its asbestos-containing products. RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 36: 10 This defendant ceased the manufacture, sale and 11 distribution of asbestos-containing products in 1958. This 12 defendant is aware that the following present or former 13 employees have testified at trial or by deposition in 14 asbestos-related litigation: 15 Edward C. Ames 10/8/79, 1/10/80, 2/12/81, 16 3/26/81 and 10/7/81. 17 Robert Grim 9/6 & 7/84 (trial), 10/11/84 (trial), and 7/1/87 (trial). 18 Richard L.

Effective April 30, 1958, this defendant sold its 12 asbestos-containing product manufacturing division to 13 Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation. At that time certain 14 employees who worked in the division, some of whom are 15 mentioned above, transferred to Owens-Corning Fiberglas 16 Corporation. These individuals have been deposed with regard 17 to asbestos-related litigation involving Owens-Corning 18 Fiberglas Corporation. 19 This defendant objects to the production of copies of 20 the transcripts of these depositions on the basis that said 21 transcripts are filed with various courts around the country, 22 they are therefore matters of public record, and therefore 23 plaintiffs have equal access to such documents. Defendant 24 -reserves the right to advance additional arguments against the 25 production of such documents if and when plaintiffs file a 26 . request for production. 27 28 ASB00-129:06600.00001 16- i t RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 37: 2 This defendant objects to this interrogatory on the 3 grounds that it seeks information which is not relevant to the 4 subject matter of this litigation and is not reasonably 5 calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence 6 except as it relates to the period of time within which this 7 defendant manufactured its asbestos-containing products. 8 Without waiving the above objection, this defendant 9 states that insofar as this interrogatory refers to 10 associations or organizations of which this defendant was a 11 member during the time when it manufactured asbestos-containing 12 products, it was a member of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation 13 (which changed its name to the Industrial Health Foundation in 14 1970) for the years 1936 through 1975. This defendant has been 15 unable to find any information in its records which would 16 enable it to further answer this interrogatory, although its 17 investigation into the subject matter referred to in this 18 interrogatory is continuing. This defendant was not a member 19 of any of the other organizations about which this interrogatory inquires. 20 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 38: 21 Refer to answer to Interrogatory No. 37. This 22 defendant ceased the manufacture, sale and distribution of 23 asbestos-containing products in 1958. This defendant has not 24 found information in its records sufficient to enable it to 25 further answer this interrogatory. 26 27 28 ASB00-129 :06600.00001 -17- RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 39: 2 This defendant ceased the manufacture, sale and 3 distribution of asbestos-containing products in 1958 and does 4 not have any records from which it can obtain information 5 sufficient to answer this interrogatory. 6 During May, 1979, various papers and reports were 7 produced by an employee of the Trudeau Institute, Mr. Allan 8 Logie, regarding animal experiments conducted at laboratories 9 at Saranac Lake involving dust collected during the Kaylo 10 manufacturing process. These,papers and reports may contain 11 information relating to the substance of this interrogatory. This defendant has not been able to find these papers and 12 reports in its business records or correspondence although it 13 14 has searched for and continues to search for them. This defendant's counsel obtained copies of some of 15 the papers and reports produced by Mr. Logie. However, these 16 17 copies constitute only a portion of a larger volume of papers and reports which this defendant has not copied. They are 18 19 available through Winne, Banta, Rizzi, Hetherington & Basralian, 25 E. Salem Street, Hackensack, New Jersey. This 20 defendant also has reason to believe that plaintiffs' counsel 21 has copies of the documents produced by Mr. Logie. Other 22 documents possibly relating to this interrogatory may have been 23 produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation in the asbestos 24 litigation______________________ __________________ - ----------25 Those documents found at Saranac Lake and at 26 Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation and elsewhere, indicate 27 that during the period of time when Owens-Illinois was in the 28 ASB00-129 : 06600.00001 -18- business of manufacturing asbestos-containing products, the j 2 state of government, industrial hygiene and medical community 3 knowledge was that there was a recognized safe exposure level 4 for asbestos dust and that persons installing insulation were 5 not exposed to excessive or hazardous levels of asbestos dust. 6 The foregoing documents also indicate that Kaylo plant 7 employees were x-rayed periodically and displayed no 8 asbestos-related chest disease; that this defendant made 9 appropriate efforts to provide ventilation and to control the 10 emissions of all dust emitted during the manufacturing process 11 within recognized safe levels of exposure, including the use of respirators in some instances, dust collection equipment and 12 other devices as necessary; and that therefore during the 13 period in which this defendant was in the business of 14 manufacturing Kaylo it had no reason to believe that the 15 foreseeable use of Kaylo would create a hazard to users. 16 The documents produced by Owens-Corning Fiberglas 17 Corporation indicate that the September, 1955 publication in 18 the A.M.A. Archives of Industrial Health was a publication of 19 inhalation experiments. 20 To the extent that this interrogatory seeks the 21 production of documents, such documents, as outlined in this 22 response, have not been found as part of this defendant's 23 records and, to the extent that this defendant is in possession 24 of copies of documents, it possesses copies only of documents 25 collected in preparation for litigation. This defendant 26 objects to producing the same. The documents are available 27 from their proper source. 28 ASB00-129:06600.00001 -19- i RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 40; 2 During the period of time pertinent to these actions, 3 this defendant did not maintain an entity which would be 4 characterized as an industrial hygiene, medicine, safety and/or 5 engineering library. However, this defendant believes that a 6 separate engineering library may have been maintained by its 7 technical facility. 8 RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 41: 9 This defendant objects to this interrogatory insofar 10 as it may seek to discovery work product of counsel and trial 11 preparation material. Without waiving the above objection, 12 this defendant states that it ceased the manufacture, sale and distribution of asbestos-containing products and does not have 13 14 any records of having interchanged any of the materials referred to in this interrogatory with any of the other 15 defendants named in this case; however, this defendant states 16 17 that defendant Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation was entitled to receive and may have received from this defendant material 18 of the type specified in this interrogatory pursuant to an 19 Agreement dated March 9, 1958 by which this defendant sold the 20 Kaylo Division to Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation, if in 21 fact this defendant had any material of said type at that 22 time.

A Kaylo Heat Insulating Bloc a new type of lightweight minera sulation that is efficient enough u used at ordinary room temperar and resistant enough to perform e lively up to 1200 F. Few new products of any kind ) been so thoroughly researched be being placed on the market. K Heat Insulating Block is the achi meat of many years' work by Ow Illinois Glass Company engint physicists and chemists. No other material, new or ole effectively combines the most d< able characteristics of the ideal insulation. For instance . .. LOW DENSITY Kaylo Heat Insulating B1 weighs only 11 pounds per cubic f This light weight (less than one po to the board foot) simplifies handl shipping and application. It gre reduces weight--an important ad tage on ships, for an example. i Notice the clean, straight ed on these insulated precipitator h pers. Applicators find it easy to do kind of work with Kaylo Heat Insu ing Block because they are so eas; cut and yet they have a -irively h flexural strength. The w_..s abo\e hoppers are also insulated with Ka Heat Insulating Block. O.VY THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY The coefficient of conductivity, or K'\ of Kaylo Heat Insulating Block, s -uown on the chart on page four, u.' ' it among the most efficient inulations for medium high temperaures. Its insulation value comes prinipally from its fine, interlaced cellular tructure. These cells are so tiny and o numerous that they present a raaerial surface of approximately 140 cres per cubic foot of insulation. Experience shows that the insulaion value of Kaylo insulation im>roves when the material is put into ervice. EFFECTIVE OVER WIDE rEMPERATURE RANGE Kaylo Heat Insulating Block perorms efficiently not only on temperaures in the low pressure steam and hot vater range but on temperatures in he superheated steam range as well. This is shown by the flatness of the ronductivity curve. One-material cov erage with Kaylo insulation handles ipplications which often require two hicknesses of different materials. -IIGH COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH 's compressive strength is un ite .y high for a mineral product of such light weight. Kaylo Heat Insu lating Block withstands compression values equivalent to those of a man's walking on it or even to those of a heel's being ground into it. HIGH FLEXURAL STRENGTH Its flexural strength is higher than the normal requirement for heat insu lation of this type. This strength makes for easy handling and applica tion, and contributes to long service with low maintenance. NO ADDED BINDER Kaylo insulation is an inorganic compound, containing no added binder. Its performance characteris tics, therefore, are not affected by additives, which often reduce insulat ing value, modify effective tempera ture range or otherwise limit per formance. EASY TO APPLY WELL Kaylo Heat Insulating Blocks are clean-cut and trim. They are easy to fit into place to make a good-looking installation. Their "feeP* is pUasMt and non-irritating. They can be cut, scored and sawed with ordinary wood working tools. Finishes that go over the block, whether cement, cloth or other types, can be applied smoothly and with a minimum of effort. No special tools are needed. LOW MOISTURE ABSORPTION Moisture absorption is no prob lem with Kaylo insulation. Even when subjected to an atmosphere of 90% relative humidity and a temperature of 120 F., in standard tests, speci mens absorb less than 1 % moisture by volume. RETAINS EFFECTIVENESS AFTER LONG SERVICE Kaylo Heat Insulating Block re mains strong, free from excessive powdering, and shows little loss in weight or shrinkage after long appli cation to temperatures up to 1200 F. Even conventional tumbling tests, run after prolonged heating, produce relatively little crumbling or break down of the material.

They are further supported by the performance of the product in service. More detailed information on Kaylo Heat Insulating Block is available on request. ta^lo, Structural Insulating Block--is a near-white, rigid mineral insulating Ip^s^inaterial weighing approximately 20 pounds per cubic foot. It is composed principaliy^of calcium, silicate. Except for density and for those characteris` tics that are changed by density it is similar to Kaylo Heat Insulating Block, a lightweight insulation used to Insulate against heat loss from hot surfaces. Kaylo Structural Insulating Block (20-lb. density) is designed to develop maximum strength and fire resistance without sacrificing its advantages of light weight and low thermal conductivity. In fact the practical combination of these four properties--strength, weight, insulating value and fire resist ance--makes it almost unique as a building material. It weighs nominally 20 pounds to the cubic foot (actually on an oven dry basis from 19.5 to 22 lb.), has a compressive strength of approximately 500 lb. per sq. in., a "k" of 0.66 at 100 mean and outstanding resistance to the travel of heat and flame at building fire temperatures. For use in fabrications that are to be Underwriters' Lab< atories inspected, Kaylo Structural Insulating Block furnished bearing the Underwriters' label for fire haza classification for building material. Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is not a finished build ing material in itself and is not made for exposure to the weather. Its principal uses are as a structural roof tile, or roof deck unit, in which a steel reinforcing mat is inserted at the time of forming, and as a core material. In this latter use it serves as the core of laminated structures where the faces or laminates are applied with adhesives, and also as the core of structural shells or envelopes where the Kaylo core material is simply inserted in the open spaces and held by its own contact or by such conven tional methods as clips or other attachments. In any of these applications it adds rigidity to the structure uid vastly increases insulation value and fire resistance. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Light Weight--Nominal 20-lb. density Kaylo Block is about a third lighter than yellow pine. On an oven-dry basis it weighs from 1SK5 to 22 pounds per cubic foot. High Strength--Its compressive strength is approximately 500 lb. per sq. in. with a deformation of 5 per cent. Flexural strength is approximately 175 lb. per sq. in. Fireproof--Kaylo 20-lb. density Structural . Insulating Block has been tested at the Underwriters' Laboratories in Chicago and given the following rating, based on com parison with untreated Red Oak as 100. Flame spread......................... 0.0 Fuel contributed................... negligible Smoke produced.................... 0.0 . Mean Tcmperoturt, *F. Good Insulation Value--At low mean temperatures Kaj Structural Insulating Block is one of the mosc efficie structural mineral insulations. At high mean temperatuj it still compares favorably with heat insulating materi; of its own weight. High Light Reflectivity--Where left exposed and untreat (as with the underside of a roof deck) Kaylo Structu Insulating Block has high light reflectivity. Its light flection factor is from 70 to 80 per cent. Non-Abrasive Surface--Its surface is non-abrasive. It h a somewhat "soapy" feel that makes it pleasant to hand At the same time it has a firm surface that assures go contact with surfaces applied over it. No Added Binder--It contains no added binder, but i stead constitutes its own binder.

It can be sawed with a and saw or power saw, can be routed, tongue-and- 'ooved, sanded, and, in fact, run through most woodorking equipment. igh Modulus of Elasticity--The modulus of elasticity of )-lb. density block is approximately 160,000 lb. per sq. in. ow Specific Hoat--The specific heat of Kaylo Structural isulating Block is approximately 0.22. Ilular Structure--Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is bout SO per cent inter-communicating air cells. The cells -e extremely small, less than a micron in diameter. jw Moisture Absorption--Kaylo Structural Block is hy- oscopic. It will absorb moisture from humid air and will ach equilibrium at lower moisture contents when exposed > lower humidities. However, because of its extremely nail pore size and other characteristics, its behavior with ;spect to moisture differs from that of most porous ma in It has unusual capacity to distribute moisture -iti__ its mass, and to give it off to surrounding air of >wer moisture content. a moisture absorption when surrounded by humid air low.

Dimensionally Stable--The dimensions of Kaylo Struct ural Insulating Block change little with changes in moist ure content. Experience has shown from the manufacture of thousands of units of laminated structures that they have unusual dimensional stability and unusual freedom from warping. Available with and without Reinforcing^--In the form of roof tile Kaylo Structural Insulation is available with a steel reinforcing mat. In the form of core material for var ious types of structure it is available without reinforcing. Accepts Noils and Screws--Both nails and screws can be used with Kaylo Structural Block. Tables showing holding power of both are available on request. Nails should be of the cement-coated type without barbs that abrade the sides of the opening they make as they are driven into the block. Galvanized or non-ferrous nails may be used where greater resistance to corrosion is required. Screws may be inserted either with or without drilling a pilot hole. Sizes--Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is made in a standard size of 18 x 36 inches. Since most uses involve manufacturing operations, thick nesses that are practical can best be worked out with the manufacturer of Kaylo Insulating Products after approxi mate quantities needed are known. These will usually be between one and two inches thick. Certain thicknesses are suggested by certain building re quirements. A thickness of from to 2 inches of Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is required to withstand a typical building fire for one hour--usually somewhat more for a partition than for a door because of the greater per formance required of a partition. 20-Lb. and 11-Lb. Density Block Can Bo Used in Combination. Where two thicknesses of insulation are used to build up an insulating structure it is jssible to use the two den sities in combination to deveiop the best insulation value strength and fire resistance.

I ( [?[3[Da!)(S<0, TOLEDO 1, OHIO Subsidiary of OWENS-ILLINOIS GLASS COMPANT Kaylo Structural Insulating Block--is a near-white, rigid mineral insulating material weighing approximately 20 pounds per cubic foot. It is composed principally of calcium silicate. Except for density and for those characteris tics that are changed by density it is similar to Kaylo Heal Insulating Block, a lightweight insulation used to insulate against heat loss from hot surfaces. Kaylo Structural Insulating Block (20-lb. density) is designed to develop maximum strength and fire resistance without sacrificing its advantages of light weight and low thermal conductivity. In fact the practical combination of these four properties--strength, weight, insulating value and fire resist ance--makes it almost unique as a building material. It weighs nominally 20 pounds to the cubic foot (actually on an oven dry basis from 19.5 to 22 lb.), has a compressive strength of approximately 50n lb. per sq. in., a ''k" of 0.66 at 100 mean and.outstanding resistance to the travel of heat and flame at building fire temperatures. s > 20-LB. DENSITY B USES For use in fabrications that are to be Underwriters' Labor atories inspected, Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is furnished bearing the Underwriters' label for fire hazard classification for building material. Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is not a finished build ing'material in itself and is not made for exposure to the weather. Its principal uses are as a structural roof tile, or roof deck unit, in which a steel reinforcing mat is inserted at the time of forming, and as a core material. In this latter use it serves as the core of laminated structures where the faces or laminates are applied with adhesives, and also as the core of structural shells or envelopes where the Kaylo core material is simply inserted in the open spaces and held by its own contact or by such conven tional methods as clips or other attachments. In any of these applications it adds rigidity to the structure and vastly increases insulation value and fire resistance. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Light Weight--Nominal 20-lb. density Kaylo Block is about a third lighter than yellow pine. On an oven-dry basis it weighs from 19.5 to 22 pounds per cubic foot. High Strength--Its compressive strength is approximately 500 lb. per sq. in. with a deformation of 5 per cent. Flexural strength is approximately 175 lb. per sq. in. Fireproof--Kaylo 20-lb. density Structural Insulating Block has been tested at the Underwriters' Laboratories in Chicago and given the following rating, based on com parison with untreated Red Oak as 100. Flame spread.........................0.0 Fuel contributed................... negligible Smoke produced .................... 0.0 Good Insulation Value--At low mean temperatures Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is one of the most efficient structural mineral insulations. At high mean temperatures it still compares favorably with heat insulating materials of its own weight. High Light Reflectivity--Where left exposed and untreated (as with the underside of a roof deck) Kaylo Structural Insulating Block has high light reflectivity. Its light re flection factor is from 70 to 80 per cent. Non-Abrasive Surface--Its surface is non-abrasive. It has a somewhat "soapy" feel that makes it pleasant to handle. At the same time it has a firm surface that assures good contact with surfaces applied over it. No Added Binder--It contains no added binder, but in stead constitutes its own binder. Hence its characteristics are not modified as to temperature limit, solubility, insu lation value, fire resistance or otherwise by "binder limitations." STRUCTURAL INSULATING BLOCK Good Workability--Kaylo Structural Insulating Block is responsive to wood working tools. It can be sawed with a hand saw or power saw, can be routed, tongue-andgrooved, sanded, and, in fact, run through most wood working equipment.
