"Spraycraft" (formerly Spray Kote) (1955)
Spraycraft jet-sprayed, long asbestos fibers.
<
(1957) asbestos, plus mineral fiber, binder, water, air
is a monolithic, non-combustible insulating material
with superior qualities for acoustical, thermal &
Sound-deadening purposes. Applied with advanced type
spray-gun which deposits asbestos fibre, plus mineral
fibre, binder, water, & air.
Pure long asbestos & clean mineral wool - 90% dust
free (1959)
2 types of Spraycraft:
Type S - relatively soft, low density, highly insulating
-
material designed primarily for thermal
insulation & soundproofing (1961)
Type H -
denser, harder, somewhat lower thermal qualities & is designed particularly for exposed applications where hardness, abrasion resistance to damage is primary consideration (1961)
"Spraycraft firetest fiber consists of scientifically formulated blends of virgin asbestos fiber, mineral fiber,
& inorganic binders-- " (196 5)

Asbestospray Spray-on Fibre (1955)
asbestos material used for Thermal insulation & condensation control.
. -
"Asbestospray research>has---found the perfecfe-vanswer to the serious problem of dust control in sprayed-on applications. A neutral additive to the mix at the factory eliminates the human element at the job site & assures positive, effective, fool-proof dust control, as well as uniform quality application. No pre-wetting system to breakdown; no dangerous steam boiler. Our dust control is added at the factory. (1961) (1965)
"Asbestospray is a mixture of virgin asbestos fiber, mineral fiber, & inorganic dry binders. It is applied by pressure spray gun directly to untreated surfaces to form a highly fire resistant, sound absorbent monolithic surface with exceptional fireproofing, thermal insulation & acoustical and condensation control properties. Asbestospray is represented by franchised distribution contractors throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, South America, Australia. (1967)
