Early civilizations in the course of Finland has recognized the usefulness of asbestos around 3000 years ago. Persians, Greeks and Romans did 1000 years, its popularity later. Even through the 20th century, we made use of asbestos in a variety of products until it was removed and banned since 1989.

Asbestos is extremely useful because it is his property, but also as silicate minerals. Silicates in general tend to be very resistant to many differentthings that make great insulators. Silicates for protection against chemicals, heat, flames and electricity. It is also very resistant to biodegradation. In addition, asbestos has many useful functions on their own. Has a high tensile strength and is very flexible, which means it can easily turn into the dust and other materials.

There are six types of asbestos, which is divided into two different families. First, the group contains Serpentinechrysotile. And 'the most common form of asbestos.

The group consists of fibers Amosite brown. Amosite is long and thick and can be found in Africa. Finally, crocidolite is a member of the Blue. Crocidolite are made of a long, thin fibers that are typical of the type considered most dangerous.

Because of these characteristics of various types of asbestos, to explore specific applications of various kinds. Theamphibole family was typically used for insulating board, ceiling tiles, concrete, pipe, casing and insulation of heat and chemical components. On the other hand, was the Serpentine family, and then chrysotile, appears to be the most useful for many other products. So it's no surprise that accounts for about 95% chrysotile asbestos in buildings.

Chrysotile is used in many things, including:
