Rockwool
It depends on the application and your budget. The rockwool insulation is more dense (KG/M3) than the glasswool insulation. The rockwool is also economical as compared to glasswool insulation. In some cases where the air velocity is greater one must use rockwool because it does not decay to much and does not cause any health issues. Glasswool and rockwool, both are incombustible so you can choose whatever you want. But I shall go with the economical one.
Asbestos (particularly blue asbestos)
An asbestos square is a square of a material that contains asbestos in it.
The difference between the two is that an asbestos gasket uses asbestos as a reinforcing fiber while a non-asbestos gasket does not.
Buildings were often built with materials that contained asbestos. Asbestos abatement is the removal of the asbestos, or other treatment such as encapsulation, that will prevent asbestos fibers from being released into the air.
For asbestos inspection, visit the Asbestos Inspection Services website. For asbestos removal, Asbestos Removal, Inc. or Alpha Environ are better choices.
There is no such thing as an asbestos leak, unless you have a container of asbestos and the container is leaking.
Asbestos is generally manufactured by processing mined asbestos fibers.
