While it is widely accepted that asbestos as a building material is now defunct, due to the dangers of it breaking and creating dangerous dust, for a time it was used in most building programs. How was it made so that it could be used so much. It is not a new material as one would be led to believe. It appears in Stone Age pots as a way to strengthen ceramics and keep them resistant to heat. It was not until the late nineteenth century that the use of chrysotile to make asbestos found it’s main use. Asbestos as a substance is brilliant at resisting heat, making it an excellent safety feature. It also has the quality of insulating electricity adding to its attributes. Sadly if it becomes broken the fibres that construct it are extremely hazardous to health. It is banned throughout the world except in Russia, Mexico, the USA and Vietnam.

As it is banned in the UK if a building is found to contain it then the asbestos needs to be removed straight away. This can result in a costly shutdown and this is where a company like Sperion Asbestos Removal Essex Company comes in as they will see to it’s extraction. Asbestos Removal Essex or anywhere else is at premium as this can be dangerous stuff if left untreated.

Asbestos is made by compressing and shaping the fibres into boards that can be attached to the building or to a particular area. Otherwise it was used by adding it into a mixture and then rolled out.
