kaylo pipe covering was very commonly used by pipe fitters during the construction process.  Kaylo pipe covering contained the product asbestos and commonly the asbestos fibers become airborne and cling to the clothing of the pipe fitters. This kaylo pipe covering contained amounts of asbestos and becomes airborne when the pipe fitter scrapes or brushes on the covering. These micro fibers of asbestos containg dust can cause a form of cancer called mesothelioma. Mesothelioma often can take up to 40 years after exposure to be diagnosed with mesothelioma. These pipe fitters may have mesothelioma spreading within them and not even know it.

Kaylo pipe covering, kaylo pipe insulation and kaylo roofing tile had been used by many contractors when building in the past. If you have used kaylo insulation materials containg asbestos dust you may want to be checked out to make sure that you have not developed mesothelioma.

Kaylo pipe covering had also been used on some military ships like the the USS Raleigh as stated in a previous mesothelioma case. White Kaylo pipe covering had been used and cut while covering pipe that had been installed on the ship. This kaylo pipe covering appears to be the pipe covering with the highest asbestos dust created when used.

Kaylo pipe insulation has a very high thermal temperature barrier and was virtually moisture proof too. There was asbestos materials within it though..
