             INSILCO HOLDING CO. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 1999 RESULTS

         COLUMBUS, OHIO, NOVEMBER 4, 1999 - INSILCO HOLDING CO. (OTC BULLETIN
BOARD: INSL) today reported sales and operating results for its third quarter
ended September 30, 1999.

         Sales of $144.3 million were up 7% for the 1999 third quarter, compared
to $135.1 million recorded in the year ago third quarter. Third quarter sales
for 1999 included $17.0 million from acquisitions completed after the 1998 third
quarter. The Company reported a 13% increase in EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-operating items plus regular
cash dividends from Thermalex, the Company's 50% owned joint venture) of $16.2
million for the 1999 third quarter, compared to $14.4 million recorded in the
1998 third quarter. Excluding the impact of the previously announced
divestitures of the Company's Romac Metals and McKenica divisions, sales for the
1999 and 1998 third quarters were $141.1 million and $126.5 million,
respectively, and EBITDA was $16.0 million and $13.7 million, respectively.

         For the first nine months of 1999 sales were up 6% to $449.6 million,
compared to $422.4 million recorded in the comparable nine months of 1998.
Year-to-date 1999 sales included $30.7 million from acquisitions completed after
the 1998 third quarter. The Company reported a 6% increase in EBITDA to $56.3
million for the first nine months of 1999, compared to $53.3 million recorded
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Excluding the results of the
divested businesses, sales for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998 were
$431.5 million and $398.6 million, respectively and EBITDA was $55.2 million and
$51.6 million, respectively.

         Net income available to common for the 1999 third quarter was $6.3
million, or $3.80 per diluted share, compared to a net loss available to common
of ($17.9) million, or ($6.53) per diluted share, recorded in the 1998 third
quarter. The 1999 third quarter included a gain of $9.6 million related to the
previously announced divestitures and the 1998 third quarter included $24.2
million in merger-related expenses. For the first nine months of 1999 and 1998
the Company reported net losses available to common of ($2.7) million, or
($1.65) per diluted share, and ($10.7) million, or ($2.90) per diluted share,
respectively.

         David A. Kauer, Insilco President and CEO, said, "We're very pleased
with the EBITDA improvement for the quarter, which reflects improving margins at
both our Technologies and Specialty Publishing segments. Moreover, we are also
beginning to see the benefits of our Company-wide cost reduction initiatives."

BUSINESS DISCUSSION

         The Company's Automotive Components Group reported 5% sales growth in
the 1999 third quarter to $56.2 million, from $53.4 million reported in the year
earlier third quarter. EBITDA for the Group was $6.7 million and $7.5 million
for the third quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Group performance
reflected continued weakness in demand for aftermarket heat exchangers and
tubing and lower sales of transmission components, offset by $5.5 million of
revenues from the Company's third quarter acquisition of Thermal Transfer
Products, Ltd.

         The Company's Technologies Group reported 29% sales growth in the 1999
third quarter to $58.9 million, compared to $45.8 million recorded in the 1998
third quarter. While third quarter 1999 sales included $11.5 million from
acquisitions completed after the 1998 third quarter, the Company also posted
modest organic sales growth in each of its Technologies Group product lines.
EBITDA for the Technologies Group was $8.1 million in the 1999 third quarter,
compared to $6.6 million recorded in the 1998 third quarter. Group performance
was positively impacted by a number of factors, including: substantially
improved power transformer margins, increased utilization of lower-cost
manufacturing facilities, ongoing cost reduction efforts and results from the
acquired businesses.

         Sales at the Company's Taylor Publishing business unit were $26.0
million and $27.4 million for the third quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Taylor's EBITDA increased 41% to $2.4 million from $1.7 million recorded a year
ago, reflecting improved margins as a result of the Company's cost reduction
activities and productivity improvements.

         The Company also noted that it received a special cash dividend of $2.4
million from its Thermalex joint venture during the 1999 third quarter and will
receive another special dividend of $5.2 million in the fourth quarter.
Thermalex' sales were up 21% from the year earlier third quarter. For the nine
months of 1999, the Company has received both regular and special cash dividends
of $5.2 million.

CEO COMMENTS

         "We are encouraged by the EBITDA improvement posted in the quarter,
which demonstrates that we are making progress along a number of fronts. We are
quite pleased to report that both our EFI stamping and Thermal Transfer heat
exchanger acquisitions were nicely accretive to earnings in the quarter. We also
posted solid improvement at our power transformer business, both in sales and
margin.

         "Industrial heat exchanger sales were up slightly in the quarter after
several quarters of declining sales resulting from weak demand, however, lower
sales and margin compression for our automotive tubing and weaker demand for
aftermarket heat exchangers moderated the positive impact to consolidated
results. Unfortunately, during the month of July, we also experienced temporary
production inefficiencies at our transmission component plant, which impacted
both sales and operating income. While the plant was back on track by August, it
was unable to fully overcome the impact July's production problems had on third
quarter operating results. Nonetheless, our outlook for our automotive
businesses remains quite positive. We continue to take appropriate steps to
lower the Automotive Group's cost structure, such as plant rationalizations and
further streamlining of manufacturing processes."

<PAGE>

         Kauer concluded, "We remain focused on improving our operating
performance and reducing our leverage by lowering our overall cost structure and
by continuing to focus on potential divestitures of business units that no
longer meet our long-term strategic goals."
