Asbestos has also been used
Asbestos has also been used in a wide range of manufactured goods, mostly in building materials (roofing shingles, ceiling and floor tiles, paper products, and asbestos
cement products), friction products (automobile clutch, brake, and transmission parts), heat-resistant fabrics, packaging, gaskets, and coatings
Common Industrial and Commercial Asbestos-Containing Products
Industrial and commercial asbestos products were used by many different types of trade workers in a variety of industries, including power generation, oil and gas,
construction, automotive repair, plumbing, electricity and chemical production.
Construction workers were exposed when building homes, plumbers are exposed to asbestos pipes and insulation, electricians are exposed while repairing electrical
panels and other equipment, and auto mechanics are exposed when changing brakes and clutches. Do-it-yourselfers who perform repairs on older homes and home auto
mechanics handling aftermarket brake pads and clutch linings are also at risk of asbestos exposure.
Some of the most common asbestos products:
• Automotive Parts
• Brake pads, clutches, hood liners, gaskets and valves contained asbestos.
• lore magna aliquant.
• Tiles and adhesives at one time were made with asbestos.
Tiles
Flooring, ceiling and roofing tiles were commonly made with asbestos. The adhesive used to lay down flooring tiles has also been a source of
exposure
Weathering of cement made with asbestos can expose toxic fibers

Cement
Asbestos-containing cement was used in building materials because the fibers provided strength without adding much weight. Its
insulating and fire-resistant properties also made the mineral an ideal substance to add to cement.
Textiles
Asbestos was used in the production of cloths and garments for its resistance to heat and corrosive elements. Some of the most common textiles
included blankets, firefighter suits and rope.
The use of asbestos-containing products stretched across a number of industries. Most of the products could be categorized as either construction
or automotive materials.
