The quest continues for commercially viable asbestos replacements. To date, no single product has emerged that is as inert, strong or incombustible as thin fibrous silicate mineral. Traditionally, asbestos has been woven into cloths and garments, compressed into boards, gaskets, and pipe coverings, and used as a filler and reinforcement in paint, asphalt, cement and plastic. Ever since health concerns began to surface about this fibrous mineral, industrial use has been on the wane. The paper describes the many materials being tested for various purposes as an asbestos substitute.
