Generally containing 10-15% asbestos fibres which are bound in portland cement or calcium silicate. Uncoated sheets, widely used in the past as a building material can be identified as light grey in colour.

Are contained within products that can generate very high fibre levels if disturbed.
Vinyl, thermoplastic tiles and bitumen can contain asbestos. Floor screed typically contains about 2% asbestos. These screeds were often used in areas of high occupancy such as stairwells and entrance halls.
Where used for lagging or packing material ropes and yarns can contain 40 – 100% asbestos depending on its functional requirements.
May contain asbestos and if well bonded and fibres are not often easily released. However, because of the asbestos content it to be worked with safely.
