| dbo:abstract | Celotex Corporation is a defunct American manufacturer of insulation and construction materials. It was the subject of a number of high-profile lawsuits over products containing asbestos in the 1980s, eventually declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1990. The company was founded in 1920 in Chicago, Illinois as a subsidiary of Philip Carey Corporation, to manufacture its namesake product Celotex insulation board, often called simply Celotex. Celotex is a fiberboard made from bagasse (sugar cane waste after extraction of the juice), first produced in a factory in Marrero, Louisiana, outside of New Orleans. In 1932, Celotex Corporation was spun off as an independent company. In 1961, Jim Walter Corporation, a homebuilding company, acquired Celotex, moving the headquarters to Tampa, Florida in 1965. Celotex moved again, to Saint Petersburg, Florida, in 2001. (en) Celotex Corporation est un ancien fabricant américain de matériaux d'isolation et de construction. Celotex est aussi le nom de plusieurs de ses matériau phare: Celotex un panneau aggloméré à base de bagasse de canne à sucre et Celotex-Cemesto un panneau composite alliant le Celolex à des panneaux d'amiante-ciment. Un type de maison préfabriquée utilisant ce matériau a été appelé Cemestos. Il a fait l'objet d'un certain nombre de poursuites judiciaires très médiatisées concernant des produits contenant de l'amiante dans les années 1980, entraînant finalement sa faillite au titre du chapitre 11 de la loi sur les faillites des États-Unis en 1990.
