FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

              INVESTORS:  MICHAEL R. ELIA            MEDIA: MELODYE DEMASTUS
                          SR. VICE PRESIDENT & CFO          MELROSE CONSULTING
                          (614) 791-3117                    (614) 771-0860



              INSILCO HOLDING CO. TO SELL SPECIALTY PUBLISHING UNIT

         COLUMBUS, OHIO, DECEMBER 20, 1999 - INSILCO HOLDING CO. (OTC BULLETIN
BOARD: INSL) announced today that it signed a definitive agreement for the sale
of Taylor Publishing, its specialty publishing business unit, to a newly formed
company owned by Castle Harlan Partners III, L.P. for proceeds of $93.48 million
subject to adjustments for working capital and other transaction-related costs.

         The sale, which is expected to be completed the first quarter of 2000,
is subject to certain customary conditions including expiration of the
applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Act.

         David A. Kauer, Insilco President and CEO, said, "While Taylor is a
fine business unit with solid prospects, the company does not fit with our
long-term strategy to pursue growth in our heat exchanger and technologies
businesses. As we have previously disclosed, we continue to look for
opportunities to reduce our debt and refine our focus on our core business
groups. Taylor Publishing has been a part of the Insilco family since the late
1960s and we appreciate the many years of hard-work and dedication provided by
the associates at Taylor and wish them the best for the future."

         Taylor Publishing, headquartered in Dallas Texas, has been a leader in
the production of school yearbooks and other commemorative books for more than
60 years. For the year ended December 31, 1998, Taylor had sales of $101 million
and employed more than 1,300 associates.

         The statements made in this press release that are not historical facts
are forward looking statements, including statements with respect to the
company's ability to close the sale transaction by first quarter 2000 and the
Company's ability reduce its debt load and invest in its core businesses, and as
such, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. It is important to note
that results could differ materially from those projected in such
forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause results to differ
materially include, but are not limited to: the inability to obtain regulatory
approval for the sale, changes in terms as a result of the buyer's completion of
due diligence, changes in demand for the Company's products, changes in market
trends, general competitive pressures from existing and new competitors, adverse
changes in operating performance, and adverse economic conditions. Further
information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements are contained from time
to time in the Company's SEC filings, including but not limited to the Company's
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and reports on 10-Q for
the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 1999. Copies of these
filings may be obtained by contacting the Company or the SEC.
