What is asbestos?

Asbestos is a fibrous mineral mined from the ground. Its value is to be found in the fact that it can be split up into long and flexible fibres for spinning and weaving or crushed to a powder. It is resistant to heat and acids and because of this has been mainly used in brake pads and as an insulating and cladding material in the construction industry.

There are three main types of asbestos commonly called blue (crocidolite), brown (ammosite) and white (chrysotile). All are dangerous but blue and brown asbestos are known to be more hazardous than white. They cannot be identified by their colour alone.
