Superior grades of chrysotile fibres are used in the manufacture of Asbestos Textiles . The particular properties of asbestos which enable its fibres to be used in textiles are: length, strength, toughness, purity and flexibility. These fibres are subjected to exacting treatment of opening, cleaning and blending, and processed through carding, spinning and other stages. A small percentage of wet modules organic fibres is incorporated with asbestos fibre to facilitate the processing. Asbestos Textiles, either used alone or in conjunction with other materials, have found their uses in many specialised applications, not only in the moderate temperature ranges upto 600 C but also in applications where the material may be exposed to high temperature of upto 2500 C, albeit for very short periods. The asbestos textile products service the needs of the industry in a number of general and specialised applications, such as thermal insulations, fire protections, packing and jointings, diaphragms for electrolytic cells, base material for friction materials and industrial plastics, etc.
