Health Risks
There is no known safe level of exposure to asbestos fibres.
Presently there are no known cures for asbestos related illness.
Inhalation of asbestos fibres may lead to scarring of the lung tissue, a condition known as asbestosis; in severe form it causes shortness of breath and pleural plaques, malignancy of the lung, or bronchial cancer. Mesothelioma is a rare related disease which was exclusively identified with asbestos exposure, but is also known to have other origins.
The period from exposure to asbestos to the onset of the disease varies between 20 to 50 years. While cases contracted before the ban on asbestos was introduced may still be diagnosed into the next century. Current Australian Safety & Compensation Council regulations will reduce the risk of exposure to asbestos fibres. Scientists believe that asbestos related disease will disappear altogether as a result of the safety measures being taken at present.

Asbestos Info
"Asbestos" was known as the "miracle fibre"
Derived from an ancient Greek word meaning "inextinguishable", it was one of the oldest and most widely used minerals known to man for over 2000 years. Early days it was a curiosity rather than a commercial commodity and used by the affluent for royal cremations to preserve the ashes.
Asbestos - Used in a variety of everyday products such as asbestos-cement sheet, prefabricated walls, corrugated roofing sections, roof tiles, water pipes, tanks, household goods like garden furniture, flower pots, heat resistant clothing for foundry workers & firemen, automotive parts, battery cases, electrical insulation, heaters, ovens, toasters, hairdryers and polyvinyl chloride floor tiles.
Australia has one of the largest proven reserves of asbestos in the world.
More than 75% of all asbestos mined in the world was used for the manufacture of asbestos-cement products. Asbestos cement sheet, roofing sections & other manufactured products used in Australia were banned in 1982, 1984, 1986 and a total ban on all asbestos use in 2003.

Sydney Asbestos Removal’s specialised asbestos roof encapsulation crew operates statewide eliminating hazardous asbestos roofing situations and costly asbestos removal & re-roofing
Deteriorated unnsealed asbestos roofing poses the highest risk to health of all the bonded asbestos cement products installed, particularly to trades people working and walking on these asbestos roofs, as the slightest disturbance will cause the release of asbestos fibre.
In 2009 organisations world wide are looking for ways in which to lower costs as well as meet environmental obligations and regulations, and it has been shown that INSULTEC can reduce temperature within buildings, which means lower heating and cooling costs. With hot summers in Australia and cold winters, its' time to consider application of a long lasting, durable, flexible membrane to any external surface such as roofs and walls to reduce the amount of heat transferred, in and out, and be certain that your staff, customers and products are in comfortable conditions, for reduced energy consumption and cost.
INSULTEC membranes and coatings have a remarkable ability to stop solar heat transfer.
INSULTEC is applied to the external surface of a structure in fluid form and dries to a solid protective finish.
INSULTEC can stop 90% of infrared and 85% of ultra violet light from entering a structure, re-radiating it back into the atmosphere.
INSULTEC fills and bridges hairline cracks, and can be applied to a wide variety of materials such as concrete, asphalt, timber, clean or primed fibro or asbestos and properly primed metals.
The INSULTEC product range comes in an off white colour and a range of other colours with a matt finish to alleviate glare.
