Friable asbestos is widely regarded as the most dangerous form of asbestos found in buildings. Unlike bonded asbestos products such as cement sheeting and roofing, friable asbestos material is any material containing asbestos that, when dry, can be easily crumbled, pulverised, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. This makes it extremely hazardous, as it readily releases loose fibres into the air, creating a severe inhalation risk for anyone nearby. If you suspect friable asbestos is present in your home or commercial property, the team at AZYTEK should be your first call.
Common examples of Friable Asbestos
- Pipe Insulation: Known as pipe lagging, often found in older heating systems.
- Boiler Insulation: Material used to insulate boilers and hot water systems.
- Soundproofing: Materials used for acoustic insulation.
- Sprayed Insulation: Fire-retardant or insulation sprayed on ceilings, walls, or steel beams.
- Vinyl Backing: The backing on older linoleum or vinyl sheet flooring.
