Why Asbestos Is Used In Homes

Asbestos has been mined in large quantities since the 19th century, and is mined in large quantities to this day by some countries. It is considered a cheap material with great insulation properties. When the fibers are broken down and woven into insulation products asbestos provides good sound absorption, has average tensile strength and high resistance to heat, electrical and chemical damage.
