The unique properties of asbestos allow the use of this material in so many industries. Basically, this is the production of asbestos-cement materials, which are used for construction, as well as for shipbuilding, rocket engineering, mechanical engineering, automotive, electrochemical, chemical, tractor and aviation industries.
Asbestos sheet is a practical material that serves as effective thermal insulation for rooms of any purpose. Sheet asbestos, the price of which is not too high, can be used not only in industry, but also for private needs. Such sheets, as a rule, cover the roof. In its manufacture, all the requirements of GOST for safe and reliable use are taken into account.
Asbestos sheet has a fibrous structure, this gives the manufactured products high rates of thermal insulation properties.
The importance of using this material is primarily due to the ability to prevent the ignition of building structures. This material is very resistant to high temperatures and can become an obstacle to open flame.
Also, this material is used to seal connections of communications, devices, as well as equipment and thermal insulation of pipelines or high-temperature units.
It is possible to buy asbestos sheet for small works at retail, but after the purchase it is important to properly preserve it. In order to avoid deterioration of the characteristics of the material, it is necessary to store it in a closed, dry room, eliminating the possibility of contact with water.
Asbestos is very easy to use and does not require professional skills or tools for its use. At the same time, the structure of asbestos is endowed with high rates of resistance, reliability and strength due to its similarity with rocks.
Asbestos cardboard has many advantages, among which are the following:
- resistance to temperature up to 500 degrees without ignition of the material;
- long term of use;
- high quality structure;
- Does not mold and does not become covered with fungus, as it is sufficiently resistant to biological factors.
Asbestos cardboard is cushioning and for general purposes.
Asbestos sheet is produced in the following grades, according to the fixed GOST 2850-95:
- Kaon -1. General-purpose asbestos sheets with an extreme temperature of up to 500 degrees;
- KAON-2. Serves as a sealant for equipment and devices. It also has temperature limits for gases - up to 500 gr., Organic compounds - up to 400 gr., The same restriction on solutions of salts and melts, alkalis - up to 200 gr., And inorganic acids - up to 120 gr. Celsius.
- PAK - asbestos coreboard. Used as a soft core in combined seals. These are mainly cylinder blocks of diesel and carburetor engines.
Asbestos sheet is produced with standard sizes of 1000x800 mm, however, the thickness of the sheet can be different: from two millimeters to a centimeter. The refractoriness of the material depends on the thickness.
