Fillers asbestos

Certain types of synthetic rubbers such as neoprenes and hypalons when suitably compounded with asbestos fillers are flame resistant and give passive fire protection. This safety aspect is a key priority in many chemical and engineering industries as well. These fire protection technologies are used to protect structures and equipment against all types of fires including the extreme conditions of a jet fire. [Pg.5]

Fillers present a potential inhalation and dermal contact hazard. They can cause mechanical damage to the skin, which may aggravate the irritant effect of other chemicals and additives. When fillers are handled in a liquid epoxy matrix or in a cured epoxy, their inhalation hazard is low. However, inhalation exposure to fillers can occur when they are handled in the dry state or when one is machining or grinding cured epoxy products. Inhalation exposure to fillers such as crystalline silica or fiberglass may result in delayed lung injury. Asbestos fillers have long been abandoned from use for these reasons. [Pg.418]

The number and variety of commercially available adhesives are now very large and continue to increase. Adhesive manufacturers are active in developing new formulations to meet a widening demand, and in modifying current formulations to meet new environmental legislation. This is reflected in the reduction or removai of known hazardous chemicals, solvents and asbestos fillers and a general trend towards water-based adhesives. [Pg.420]
