Asbestos Products

Industrial packing products have been made out of a wide assortment of materials over the years, but the one that was perhaps considered to be the most efficient was asbestos. This mineral was favored by a large number of manufacturers because of its ability to be molded into any shape, withstand extreme temperatures and even halt the spread of fire. Asbestos was nicknamed "The Magic Mineral" because its unique chemical composition and physical properties made it suitable for use in thousands of products from floor tiles to road signs, from sewage pipes to insulating mattresses. Historical records show that asbestos has been used by man for over 4,000 years. In this century it has been used in over 3,000 products including cement building materials, pipe work lagging, insulating mattresses and rope, fire resistant insulation boards, sprayed fire-proofing products, floor tiles and coverings, water and sewage pipes, gas masks, friction materials for vehicle brakes and clutches, lifts and machinery. Boilers and pipe work were lagged with Asbestos Products in hospitals, power stations and throughout heavy industry. Asbestos insulation products were popular in the shipbuilding and railway industries and in the dockyards etc. Packing products for pumps, boiler doors and several naval items contained large amounts of this naturally occurring material.
