  2. Detecting Asbestos Materials in Your Property In Australia, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were widely used in residential, commercial and industrial properties between the 1940s until the late 1980s. ACMs fall into two broad categories, namely friable and non-friable.

  3. Friable Asbestos

Friable ACMs were usually used as: • fire retardants, • sound proofing, • insulation, • lining material on old domestic heaters, • stoves • hot water systems, • the backing of sheet vinyl • linoleum floor coverings • pipe insulation.
