Asbestos is in what?

Asbestos Products Are in What????

What is common to many asbestos-containing products is that they were (are) used to contain heat (i.e. thermal insulation.) It is impossible to list all of the products that have, at one time or another, contained asbestos. Some of the more common asbestos-containing products are:

• pipe-covering
• attic insulation - vermiculite or zonolite
• insulating cement
• insulating block
• asbestos cloth
• gaskets
• packing materials
• thermal seals
• refractory and boiler insulation materials
• transite board
• asbestos cement pipe
• fireproofing spray
• drywall joint compound(mud)
• vinyl floor tile
• ceiling tile
• mastics
• adhesives
• coatings
• acoustical textures or popcorn texture
• duct insulation for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
• roofing products
• insulated electrical wire and panels
• brake and clutch assemblies

Some of these products contained a very high proportion of asbestos, while others contained small amounts.

The best thing you can do is test first before any demolition occurs, its always best to err on the side of caution.
