Similar to normal cement, it poses a threat to the insulator during these two phases: when it is mixed and asbestos particles rise easily into the air, or when it needs to be removed and the impact upon it disturbs the asbestos particles creating dangerous amounts of dust.
Claim EvaluationPRODUCT USE
As this product was already flame-resistant, asbestos was added in the mixing of insulating cement for the strength it provided to the product.
This type of insulation was one of the most hazardous asbestos-containing products. Like most cements, with the passing of tim, it started to deteriorate releasing toxic particles of asbestos every time it got disturbed by the workers. You could have been exposed if:
