Asbestos generally comes in three types:
- chrysotile known as "white" asbestos
- crocidlite known as "blue" asbestos
- amosite known as "brown" or "grey" asbestos
The condition of asbestos can be categorised by the following - bonded asbestos which contains a bonding compound reinforced with asbestos fibres; or friable asbestos which contains unbonded asbestos-containing material that, when dry, is or may become crumbled, pulverised or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
Bonded asbestos can be found in products such as asbestos cement sheeting commonly used in building materials between 1940s to the late 1980s.
Other bonded asbestos products include:
- profiled sheets used on roofs and walls and flat sheets in flashings
- imitation brick cladding
- water or flue pipes
- plaster patching compounds
- textured paint
- vinyl floor tiles
Friable asbestos is easily crumbled or reduced to powder by hand.
Common forms of friable asbestos materials include:
- sprayed on fireproofing/soundproofing/thermal insulation
- acoustic plaster soundproofing
- thermal insulation (not sprayed on).
