It is used in panels for switchgear and arcing device.

SOLUTION

Asbestos cement:

• Asbestos cement is a mixture of cement and asbestos. This is usually about 10-15% of the total product, forming a hard material. It is often used as corrugated roofing on sheds, garages, and farms.
• Asbestos cement usually contains white asbestos (chrysotile). Older types may contain blue (crocidolite) or brown (amosite). The type used is not really important. All asbestos is hazardous, although asbestos cement does not release many fibers and is relatively low risk.
• Asbestos cement, genericized as fibro or fibrolite - short for "fibrous (or fiber) cement sheet" - and AC sheet, is a building material in which asbestos fibers are used to reinforce thin rigid cement sheets.
• Asbestos-cement is usually formed into flat or corrugated sheets or piping, but can be molded into any shape wet cement can fit. 

Application:

• It is used in panels for switchgear and arcing device.
• Pipes of various sizes for water reticulation and drainage. Drainage pipes tend to be made of pitch fiber, with asbestos cement added to strengthen.
• Molded products ranging from plant pots to outdoor telephone cabinet roofs and cable pits.
