Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB)
Asbestos Insulation Board, commonly known as Asbestolux in the construction industry, was used throughout the UK from the 1950's right through to the early 1980's
The material was widely used as standard fire protection, heat and acoustic insulation and as a general building board.
Typically AIB’s contain between 25% and 40% Asbestos fibre, normally Brown Asbestos (Amosite) and / or White Asbestos (Chrysotile). The board can be vulnerable to impact damage, and will deteriorate with age.
The potential for fibre release from the board in its raw form is high and contamination resulting from damage, uncontrolled removal and migratory Asbestos fibre is a considerable risk.
Typical applications include:-
- Doors (internal / external)
- Partition Walling
- Riser Panels
- Ceilings
- Fire Breaks
- Lift Shafts
Routine maintenance and protection should be considered a priority.
