Asbestos Texture

What does Asbestos look like and what texture does it have? Also, when did they stop using it? Thanks. NME?
What does it look like? Just about anything. Asbestos is a powder that was added to many products. It has a high heat resistance, so it was used to insulate exhaust pipes. It was used in “popcorn” ceilings, floor tiles, insulation, home siding, etc.
About the only way you can tell if you have asbetos is to have the product in question tested. It is safe as long as it doesn’t become airborne as a dust.
The 1980’s was a decade in which Asbestos Abatement was at it’s peak.
