Because of its outstanding superior features – which cannot be replaced by any kind of natural or man-made fibers – such as mechanical strength and high elasticity, good friction, fire resistance, lip resistance. alkaline, insulating, difficult to decompose, prevent bacteria and scattering … chrysotile is considered a useful input building material for more than 3,000 products. This fiber is widely used in the industry of manufacturing fibro-cement products (especially cement roofing sheets in developing countries), insulating materials, heat-insulating materials, automobile industry, goods industry. No, pharmaceuticals, oil and nuclear, manufacturing fireproof materials, textile products and a number of other industries.
