Thermal insulation

Hand applied, thermal lagging, pipe and boiler lagging, pre-formed pipe sections, slabs, blocks. Also tape, rope, corrugated paper, quilts, felts, and blankets. Thermal insulation of pipes, boilers, pressure vessels, califoriers etc.

All types of asbestos have been used. Amosite content varies 6-85%. Various adhoc mixtures were hand applied on joints and bends and pipe runs. Pre-formed sections were widely used e.g. ' 85% magnesia' contained 15% ammonite, 'Caposil' Calcium silicate slabs and blocks contained 8-30% Amosite while 'Caposite' sections contained ~ 85% Amosite. Blankets, felts and papers were usually ~ 100% Chrysotile.

Crocidolite was used in lagging until 1970. Amosite was phased out by the manufacturers during the 70s

The ease of fibre release often depends on the type of lagging used and the surface treatment. Often will be encapsulated with calico and painted (e.g. PVA, EVA, Latex, bitumen or propriety polymer emulsions or PVC, Neoprene solutions) e.g. 'Decadex' finish is a propriety polymer emulsion. A harder chemical/weather resistant finish is known as 'Bulldog'.
