 Things to know about ACM

Asbestos is a material that is naturally occurring in

the environment and is a collective name used to
refer to various fibrous silicate compounds. The use
of ACM began almost 4000 years ago but it was
only in late 19th century that the large scale use of
ACM began in earnest due to the industrial
revolution and the massive trends towards modern
buildings.
ACM was used widely because of its highly
desirable properties that were appealing to
many builders. It has great absorption, good
tensile strength, and excellent resistance to
electricity and chemicals as well as good
affordability. Thanks to its flexibility, ACM can be
easily spun into fabrics and fibres. It is the only
naturally occurring mineral that possesses that
property.

inspection:

Point #1: ACM can cause health hazards

Point #2: Some materials may still contain ACM

Point #3: When you need to renovate or demolish
