Asbestos

Manufacturing Term


Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in the manufacturing industry due to its heat resistance and insulating properties. The mineral consists of long, thin fibers that can be woven together to form a strong and durable material.

Asbestos was commonly used in building materials such as insulation, roofing shingles, and cement products. It was also used in automotive parts, such as brake pads and clutch linings, and in a variety of industrial applications including piping, boilers, and gaskets.

However, asbestos has been associated with numerous health risks, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. As a result, its use has been heavily regulated and has decreased significantly in recent years.

Many countries have banned the use of asbestos completely, while others have placed restrictions on the use of certain types of asbestos. Manufacturers have also shifted towards using other materials that are safer and more environmentally friendly.

Overall, while asbestos was once widely used in the manufacturing industry, its use has declined significantly due to health concerns and regulations.
