FILE NAME Quebec Asbestos Mining Association QAMA DATE 1976 DOC QAMA167 DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION QAMA Report - Asbestos chrysotile asbestos They use these fibres to manufacture a range of some 3,000 products These include - asbestos construction materials such as sheets and shingles water and sewage piping conduits floor tiling automotive brake linings and other friction materials asbestos papers used in electrical insulation and roofing materials fireproof textiles paints reinforced plastic products asphalt overlays for highways thermal and acoustical insulation materials and a range of gasketing putties caulks sealants and surface coatings You'll find Quebec's asbestos in Scandinavian homes New Zealand high schools Israeli irrigation projects in the brakes and linings of British racing cars in a German welder's protective clothing in the insulation of a Japanese generator in a Canadian paper machine It's in Brazilian housing projects U.S. jumbo jets and gas stations Indian pipelines and Central African locomotives Percentage Asbestos cement pipes sheets siding shingles North America 21 % Fnction materials ; 6.3 Asbestos paper Floor tiles 3.9 12 % 377 % Plastics % 20 Joint ciments . % 1.5 Paints roof coating caulks sealant adhesives undercoat Packing cory 74 Asbestos textile sf 5 | eee ee 14 5 : 33 | Miscellaneous Its properties The worldwide acceptance of Quebec's chrysotile asbestos and its immense range of applications stem from five inherent characteristics of the mineral is combustible inert and resistant to heat generated by friction It insulates against heat cold and noise GC Being a fibre that possesses greater tensile strength than steel it acts as a reinforcement for many materials especially cement and plastics resists corrosion and attack by alkalis and most acids It has good dielectric properties What's more chrysotile asbestos provides these characteristics at remarkably low cost Because of this unique combination of properties not to be found in any other natural or made sub- stance - chrysotile asbestos finds its way into hundreds of applications in which human safety is at stake It is indispensable in brake linings because it withstands the high temperatures attained in braking Consequently road rail and to some extent aircraft safery depend on it It's the only mineral that can be spun and woven into cloth for such uses as firefighters clothing and fireproof theatre curtains Used as a thermal insulation material on the structural steelwork of large buildings chrysotile asbestos helps prevent them from collapsing in the event of major fire And it's also the basis of resistant partitions in ships offices schools hospitals stores and other locations where large numbers of people congregate In these and many other essential saving uses there is simply no known substitute for asbestos Yet for all its varied uses Quebec's chrysotile asbestos is usually invisible in virtually all its applications Like the yeast in bread asbestos is just a small part of most finished products yet it's indispensable The Mineral Like iron copper nickel or zinc asbestos is a mineral The chemical formula for chrysotile asbestos is 3MgO 2SiO 2H2O It is a hydrous magnesium silicate closely allied to soapstone the rock Eskimos use for their carvings But unlike gold copper lead or zinc asbestos is not an element and it occurs in several different varieties In addition to chrysotile there are types called amosite anthophyllite and crocidolite As well as being mined in Canada the mineral is also produced in the USSR southern Africa Cyprus Italy the U.S.A.
