Asbestos is a strong fibrous mineral, which can resist heat and chemicals. It was commonly used in building materials between the 1950's and 1980's. Nearly all buildings constructed or altered during this time period are more than likely to contain asbestos. Products containing asbestos can look the same as those that do not. Often the difference can only be found under a microscope by a specialist laboratory.
