Mouldings and moulded products

Asbestos can be found in adhesives like grout, sealants, putties and dry powder mixes used in many places like windows, bathrooms and kitchens.

Caulking, also called non-corrosive (NC) compound or putty, is brown to dark grey. It is soft and flexible, but sets hard to seal joins and prevent leaks of water, heat or air.

Cement containing asbestos usually comes as cement sheeting but can be moulded (sprayed) onto any surface when wet. Be asbestos aware.

Asbestos cement sheeting can feel hard and brittle. Asbestos cement sheeting is white to grey in colour. It is usually flat and smooth, and may be painted or have dimples like a golf ball on one side.

Corrugated cement sheets are usually white to grey, but may be painted. They are hard and brittle, with a dimpled surface like a golf ball on one side.

Strip mouldings can have plain or rounded (spigoted) edges, including louvre blades. A round nail may be visible on the strip, usually just above the surface.
