Asbestos Lagging
Asbestos lagging, commonly known as Hardset or Sectional Insulation, was used extensively in the building industry from the 1920 right through to the mid 1970's.
The material was typically used for thermal insulation. Blue Asbestos (Crocidolite) was extensively used within boiler houses and other similar environments due to its noted acid resistant properties.
The lagging can contain up to 100% Asbestos fibre. Asbestos lagging can be vulnerable to impact damage, vibration, water penetration, and will deteriorate with age.
The potential for fibre release from the lagging is high and contamination resulting from damage, uncontrolled removal and migratory Asbestos fibre is a considerable risk.
Typical applications include:-
- Pipes
- Lofts
- Vessels
- Rising Ducts
- Boilers
- Floor Voids
The potential risk to health from these products should be considered high.
