Asbestos in - Mining Products
RE: Your memo dated 1-24-86
Your memo requested information on mining products that have or do contain asbestos material. Mr. R. Czubkowski was requested to respond in regard to Min ing electrical components (motors, wiring, insulation, etc.). Mr. Czubkowski's response is attached.
Mechanically, the only asbestos product that has been used on mining equipment were asbestos brake linings, which were the industry standard. About 2 years ago, asbestos brake linings were superseded by non-asbestos material. As of Oc tober 1985, all asbestos lining material in Mining Equipment had been super seded.
<r
Three different types of brake linings were involved: flexible woven band brake
linings (for older, non-production machines), molded shoe linings for drum
brakes, and molded linings for propel brakes. The respective material specs
are:
