FILE NAME Corning OC DATE 1952 DOC OC209 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION Potentially Dangerous Properties of Kaylo ) ad , ie. ~ XII OTHER PROPERTIES OP KAYLD Kaylo is not an efficient acoustical insulator its effectiveness in this property approaches that of a plaster wall The air cells are too all to effectively dampen the sound waves The dust of kaylo consists of a hydrous calcium silicate and asbestos and the hazards of such dust to health have been investigated by the Trude Laboratories at Saranac Lake N. J. The hydrous calcium silicato is harm- less and the asbestos manifested the usual effect of this mineral The actual hazard to health of those handling kaylo was considered to be mall The hydrous calcium silicates forming in kaylo possess unusually large surface areas in the order of 100 to 130 / and therefore have potential uses as adsorbents Studies were made of this property The results indicate that these products would probably be restricted for use in contact with aqueous solution having relatively high pB
