The use of asbestos has been identified in over 3000 products, as the list is so long, i will instead list its properties as it will be easier. Fire proof, sound proof, acid resistant, alkalie resistant, doesn't conduct electricity, good mechanical strength, cheap! Used in insulation, products of high wear (floor tiles, brake pads, etc.) electricity cables, china, clothing, gaskets, plaster, glue, building products etc, the list goes on.
