Plumbing and draining

Acetylene gas cylinders used in welding contained asbestos to add stability with flammability. Asbestos in the cylinder was not dangerous when being used. 

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.

Concrete slabs can contain various forms of asbestos.
Powdered asbestos was mixed with cement to reduce cracking. Broken pieces of asbestos cement sheeting were used as filler in concrete.
