 INSILCO HOLDING CO. REPORTS IMPROVED FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 1999 RESULTS

                    Completes Acquisition of TAT Technologies

         COLUMBUS, OHIO, FEBRUARY 21, 2000 -- INSILCO HOLDING CO. (OTC BULLETIN
BOARD: INSL) today reported sales and operating results for the fourth quarter
and full year ended December 31, 1999. The Company said that results for its
Taylor Publishing business unit, which was divested in February 2000, are being
reported as discontinued operations and are therefore not included in
consolidated sales and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization and non-operating items plus regular cash dividends
from Thermalex, the Company's 50% owned joint venture). The Company is also
providing comparative results including and excluding Romac Metals and McKenica,
which were divested in mid-1999.

         Sales from the Company's core automotive and technologies businesses
increased 24% in the 1999 fourth quarter to $118.8 million from $96.0 million a
year ago. The increase was a result of stronger demand from telecommunications,
electronics and industrial OEMs, as well as the benefit of $18.3 million in new
sales from acquisitions completed in late 1998 and 1999. Consolidated sales for
the 1999 fourth quarter, including $7.8 million in 1998 fourth quarter sales
from divestitures, increased 14% to $118.8 million, compared to $103.8 million
recorded in the 1998 fourth quarter.

         For the full year 1999 sales from the Company's core automotive and
technologies businesses increased 14% to $458.3 million from $402.7 million last
year. Full year 1999 sales benefited from $54.4 million in sales from
acquisitions completed in late 1998 and 1999. Consolidated sales for 1999
increased 10% to $476.4 million from $434.3 million recorded in the comparable
period in 1998. Full year 1999 and 1998 consolidated sales included $18.1
million and $31.6 million, respectively, from divestitures completed in the last
half of 1999.

         Adjusted EBITDA from ongoing operations for the fourth quarter 1999
increased 23% to $14.2 million from $11.5 million for the fourth quarter 1998.
The Company reported that consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the 1999 fourth
quarter increased 17% to $14.2 million, compared to $12.1 million recorded in
the 1998 fourth quarter, which included $0.6 million in 1998 from the Company's
divested operations.

                                     -more-
<PAGE>

         Full year 1999 adjusted EBITDA from ongoing operations increased 6% to
$57.6 million from $54.1 million for 1998. For the twelve months ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, the Company reported consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $58.7
million compared to $56.4 million, respectively. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA
for 1999 and 1998 included $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, from
divested operations.

ACQUISITION

         In a separate action, the Company said that it completed the previously
announced acquisition of T.A.T. Technology ("TAT"), a Montreal-based provider of
cable and wire assemblies. TAT serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in
the rapidly growing Optical Networking and Dense-Wavelength Division
Multiplexing ("DWDM") segments of the telecommunications industry. TAT had 1999
revenues of approximately $58 million. Financial terms of the transaction were
not disclosed.

BUSINESS DISCUSSION

         The Company's Automotive Components Group reported sales of $59.0
million for the 1999 fourth quarter, compared to $51.0 million reported in the
year earlier fourth quarter. Fourth quarter sales included $6.4 million from the
Company's third quarter acquisition of Thermal Transfer Products, Ltd. Adjusted
EBITDA was $9.3 million and $7.4 million for the fourth quarters of 1999 and
1998, respectively. The improved performance for the Group reflects higher
margins on worldwide tubing sales and the positive contribution from Thermal
Transfer.

         The Company also reported that its 50/50 joint venture with Mitsubishi
Aluminum, Thermalex, paid a special dividend of $5.2 million in the 1999 fourth
quarter, bringing total regular and special cash dividends paid in 1999 to $10.4
million. The Company said that demand remained strong in 1999 for Thermalex'
micro-extruded tubing with the JV posting 20% sales growth in 1999. The Company
also recorded $0.4 million and $3.0 million of equity income for the 1999 fourth
quarter and full year, which is reported separately after operating income in
its consolidated financial statements.

         The Company's Technologies Group reported sales of $59.8 million in the
1999 fourth quarter compared to $45.0 million recorded in the 1998 fourth
quarter. Sales increased across most product categories and the 1999 fourth
quarter benefited from $11.8 million in sales from acquisitions completed during
or after the 1998 fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the Group was $5.9 million
in the 1999 fourth quarter, compared to $5.7 million recorded in the year ago
fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by a $0.6 million
litigation settlement relating to a 1994 claim at the Company's stamping
operations. Excluding this settlement, adjusted EBITDA for the 1999 fourth
quarter increased 14% to $6.5 million from $5.7 million recorded in the year
earlier fourth quarter. The Group's operating performance was positively
impacted by substantially improved power transformer margins, offset largely by
a sales mix shift towards lower margin data grade connectors and temporary
production inefficiencies at certain wire and cable assembly facilities.

CEO COMMENTS

         David A. Kauer, Insilco President and CEO, said, "1999 marked a year of
significant change for Insilco. Several key acquisitions and divestitures were
completed to redeploy our resources to faster growing technology and heat
exchanger markets. With the majority of our acquisition integration activities
behind us, we expect even greater contributions from these acquisitions in
2000."

                                     -more-

         "Equally important, we have positioned our core businesses to
capitalize on key market trends, such as the expanded use of outsourcing and
preference for large global suppliers by major OEMs and an increasing demand for
aluminum tubing. In addition, we intensified our efforts to reduce our cost
structure, including a mid-year corporate restructuring, which is expected to
reduce annualized corporate overhead by $3.2 million."

         "We will continue our aggressive focus on enhancing our core
businesses' competitive positions and maximizing operating efficiencies in 2000.
This is evidenced by the recent sale of our non-core specialty publishing unit,
Taylor Publishing. The proceeds from this sale have been used to acquire TAT,
which improves our competitive position in the rapidly growing
telecommunications industry. We see numerous growth opportunities for the
markets in which we have chosen to participate and believe we are well
positioned for higher growth in sales and earnings in 2000 and beyond," Kauer
concluded.

REPORTED RESULTS

         The Company reported net income of $0.2 million for its fourth quarter
ended December 31, 1999, compared to a net loss of ($8.0) million recorded a
year ago in the fourth quarter. The loss available to common shareholders for
the fourth quarter of 1999 and 1998 was ($0.94) and ($5.93) per diluted share,
respectively.

         For the full year 1999, the Company recorded net income of $2.0 million
compared to a net loss of ($18.1) million recorded in the year ago twelve
months. The loss available to common shareholders for the full year 1999 and
1998 was ($2.81) and ($6.35) per diluted share, respectively.

         Insilco Holding Co., based in suburban Columbus, Ohio, is a diversified
manufacturer of industrial components. The Company's business units serve the
telecommunications, electronics, automotive and other industrial markets. The
Company had 1999 consolidated revenues in excess of $476 million.
