Asbestos Cement
This has a density of approximately 1500kg/cu.m and
contains about 10-15% asbestos. Crocidolite and Amosite
have been used in AC products but Chrysotile is the most
common type. AC is very common and has a wide variety
of uses such as roofing, wall cladding, partitioning,
decorative panels, bath panels, soffits, portable buildings,
fire surrounds, cisterns, ventilators and ducts. It is a very
hard substance but may release fibres if drilled, abrazed,
sawn or if it has deteriorated or decomposed.
