Asbestos Cement
Asbestos cement products were in widespread use throughout the building industry from the 1940's right up until the mid 1990's.
Asbestos cement products had many uses, and often came in preformed applications such as water pipes, flue sections, corrugated roof sheets and flat boards.
Regulations came into force in November 1999 banning the use and supply of Asbestos cement (Chrysotile) products. Care should be given to these products, as more often than not they tend to be found in their raw, untreated state.
The potential for fibre release is fairly low, however issues of contamination can arise when Asbestos cement is damaged or removed without suitable control.
Typical applications include:-
- Ceilings
- Wall Partitioning
- Roof Sheets (Corrugated)
- Water Tanks
- Flue Pipes
- Tiles
