Asbestos cladding is a general construction sheeting formed from the mixture of a natural cement and asbestos. It makes a good weather proofing material at low cost. The asbestos content could be as high as 30% Chrysotile (White asbestos). Some cladding sheets have been found with smaller levels of Blue and Brown asbestos or a mixture of all three.

Does cement board contain asbestos?

Older cement board may contain asbestos, and then it is properly called "asbestos cement board." Cement board more recently manufactured should not contain asbestos. The only way to know whether a particular cement board does or does not contain asbestos is to ask the manufacturer (if you know who made it) or have a sample collected from it by a qualified sampling technician and have the sample analyzed by a qualified laboratory.


Is asbestos ever found in Portland cement?

Under normal circumstances we would not find asbestos in Portland cement. Asbestos has a number of applications (even though it is hazardous), but none of them involve it being mixed with cement. The presence of asbestos in cement would weaken the final product (concrete, grout, mortar, stucco, or whatever), so there is no reason to deliberately include it in the cement.
