AIRSAFE BUSINESS OF ASBESTOS

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, which is highly heat-resistance and can be woven into a fiber.

Airsafe business of asbestos testing

Airsafe business has an experience of over 30 years in the field of asbestos analyzes. Airsafe has an accurate quality system that test asbestos which is legal thus meets the entire government requirement.

 

Testing lab for asbestos in Airsafe

Asbestos analyzing is done in the Airsafe laboratory with proper equipment thus ensuring an accurate result. Two methods involved in Asbestos analyze.

 

Polarized light microscopy

Since asbestos fiber is not visible to naked eye, Light microscopy with a special microscope is used to make them visible. Polarized light has waves that vibrate in one direction, asbestos behaves in a particular way under this light, and thus enable the technician to determine asbestos material.

 

Dispersion staining

This method is used apace with Polarized light microscopy. A technician can identify asbestos because every material has a different dispersion curve of refractive index (the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its speed in a specified medium).

 

Asbestos uses in a homestead

Due to its strength, durability, heat and fire resistant properties asbestos is mostly used in wall, as roof, as carpet and as an insulator.

Asbestos in carpets -For several years asbestos have been used to make linoleum more durable. It can be either in the form of tiles or sheet. It has also been used to make hessian bags that make carpets.

Insulation-Due to its strength and durability it can be used as an insulating material and fire resistance.

Asbestos in wall-Asbestos can be used for both external and internal walls. Mostly commonly used inform of fibrous cement sheeting.

Asbestos in the roof -Asbestos can be used either inform of corrugated asbestos sheeting or roof shingles due to its heat resistance. If you want to know more read on loose-fill asbestos testing.
