      Insilco Corporation Announces Current Tender Results;
                                
         Allows Shareholder To Tender Additional Shares
                                
                                
                                
     COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 12/PRNewswire/ -- Insilco Corporation
(Nasdaq:  INSL) today reported that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York
City time on August 11, 1997, it had received a total of
approximately 2,610,000 shares for tender, under its previously
announced offer to purchase up to 2,857,142 shares of its common
stock at $38.50 net per share.  The Offer, which commenced on
July 11, 1997, will expire on August 12, 1997 at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time.

     The Company said that because the Offer was undersubscribed,
it was waiving a provision of its purchase agreement with Water
Street Corporate Recovery Fund I, L.P. to allow for the tender of
additional shares by Water Street.  As reported in the Offer, on
July 10, 1997, the Company entered into a share purchase
agreement with Water Street, in which the Company purchased
2,805,194 shares of common stock from Water Street and Water
Street agreed to tender no more than 960,577 shares in the Offer.
By today's waiver, the Company has agreed to allow Water Street
to tender additional shares.  The waiver, however, limits any
additional tender by Water Street to not more than that number of
shares that causes the Offer to be fully subscribed at 2,857,142
shares.  Shareholders who wish to tender additional shares must
do so prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, Tuesday, August 12,
1997.

     Insilco Corporation, based in suburban Columbus, Ohio, is a
diversified manufacturer of industrial components and a supplier
of specialty publications.  The Company's industrial business
units serve the automotive, electronics, telecommunications and
other industrial markets, and its publishing business principally
serves the school yearbook market.  It had revenues in 1996 of
$572 million.
