Asbestos Insulation

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals that was historically used in various insulation, heat-resistant and industrial materials. Because exposure to asbestos fibres can cause serious health hazards, asbestos-containing materials require strict handling, occupational controls and compliance with applicable regulations.

This page provides product-level information about asbestos mill boards, asbestos cloth and asbestos paper. Product availability, permitted use, handling requirements and applicable regulations should always be verified for the specific application and location.

Important Handling Notice Asbestos-containing materials should only be handled, installed, removed or disposed of in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, workplace controls and qualified professional guidance. Do not cut, drill, sand, disturb or otherwise process asbestos-containing materials in a manner that could release airborne fibres.
