Asbestos has been used since ancient times to make fireproof cloth for the burial shrouds of kings and the tablecloths of wealthy landholders, but the modern asbestos industry did not arise until the machinery of the Industrial Revolution created a great need for insulation materials.Asbestos was long considered an ideal material for almost all types of insulation, until its cancer-causing effects were revealed to the public. The naturally occurring mineral has a unique fibrous nature that allows it to take on a cotton-like consistency.

Even in its soft form, asbestos is extremely resistant to heat, and the air between the fluffy mineral fibers slows down the transfer of heat through the material. The fibrous nature of asbestos also allows manufacturers to mix it into other materials, such as paper, cement and spray-on coatings, and even weave it into fabric.

The asbestos insulation board cutting machine is a multi-functional digital cutter that meets a variety of needs. Whether we’re milling, turning, drilling or grinding our CNC Machining process integrates with our custom fabrication approach. Our CNC Machining process allows us to fabricate our parts with consistency, precision, accuracy and speed.
