Glass is aade by fusion (melting together) of the rav aaterlals. Calcium silicate is the result of a direct cheaical reaction between line aad sand. XSyl is lighter than wood, a better theraal insulator than gypsum, stronger than the common aaterlals used for issulatioe sad as lncaohustible as con crete. Xsylo aaterlal offers exciting possibilities for an almost unllsited number at uses. Xsylo products are knows all over the world and have nt:Tisnea s superiority in a vide variety of uses. Other uses are still being developed by Owens-Illinois and various manufacturers who make fabricated prod ucts. no Xaylo is s chemical compound at lias And sand (sad small rousts at asbestos fibres) which the teehnieally-ainded sail a "lydrous calcium ilieate".

The r** "Xaylo" vm. taken tram the symbol "X" meaning thermal conductivity (heat transfer) Is engineering terminology, sad "lew", IndieAtIn that its therasl conduc tivity is low. Although Xsylo ealcius silicate contains One of the characteristics of Xsylo prod' uets is light weight. Billions of aicrc' scopic air spaces formed during aanufaeture give XSylo material its extrerel; light weight and low theraal cor.ductiviv It is insoluble in water. Xsylo materia: has been boiled continuously for 2^ hours aad longer, aad after drying, it retains its strength aad Insulating efficiency. Sven when saturated Xsylo material re tains 85% at its strength. It is inccn* bustible, resistant to heat flow aad tc temperature change. Xsylo material has been tested at the Underwriter'i Labora tories la Chicago and given the relieve- rating, based on carparisen with un treated Bed Oak as IOC, flame spread-C.C fuel contribute-negligible, smoke pro c e e d -0.0. Other properties of Xsylo products inciu: (continued) l wucttou..; Its exceptionally good dimensional .stability. It dess not warp. It is rotproof and veroinproaf. The soar white color provides high light reflec tivity . Zt is coopatlblc vlth standard adhesives and may be banded to nearly any other type of structural aaterial. Xaylo calcium silicate Tactured bv ovens-Yiiiaoi at Berlin includes j Xaylo pipe insulation, xaylo "Seat insulating block, and core aaterial Veer lire goers. Xaylo pipe insulation is produced im what is known as Siaplifled Dimensional Standards for tube and pipe slaes from l A inch to 72 inches in disaster. Vlth this system1the outside disaster of each piece of pipe covering is the sane as the disaster of a standard pipe. This allows one piece of pipe covering to fit over another when nesting is necessary. Xaylo heat insulating block is used for insulating boilers or other equipment with surfaces that are flat or nearly flat. Zt is aade in various thick nesses ranging from 1 inch up and in all standard sizes up to 18 inches z 36 inches. Xaylo produets are aade in two densities, thermal density and structural density. Thermal density is used where heat in sulating value is the priaary need and aeehanlcal strength secondary, but still important. Structural density is used where substantial strength and fire proofing needs are Iaportant as well as heat insulation. Seen though Xaylo calelua silicate is now an accepted cooaerelal aaterial, Ovens-Zlllaois continues an extensive development program; He search projects include studies of basic eheaistry to laprove the physical properties of the aaterial, as well as work'on product fores, installation aethods and aanufactoring techniques. Tpurff-ny *a fettey . ins products are bcina shaped today in Owens -Illinois laboratories^ SWW WWI The Rational Safety Council has asked all industry to put on an Intensive nationwide caapaign to reduce acci dental falls. Last year 19,800 persons in the United States were killed by falls. This is at the rate of 55 fatalities per toy. ,,This eaapalgs is not only in industry, but also includes off-the-Job safety, boat safety, public transportation, fare safety, women's activities, school and college and on the streets and highways. The Council has issued the following major caapaign Issues: Falls account for sore accidental deaths than any other cause with the exception of traffic accidents. falls take a heavy toll of workers and are one of the leading sources of disabling injuries. falls are eostly accidents, falls free different levels frequently re sult in death or serious injury and thus ccompensation payments are sub stantially above those of ether acci dents. falls account for more than one-half ef the injuries to office vorkers. falls are one of the leading causes sf lost-time accidents in our own business. Let's all get behind this caspaigr. to reduce accidents eaused by falls for the rest of this year. PIS YOU XROV?
