Is it possible to know if this insulation contains asbestos without doing a lab test?
Baldwin-ehret-hill mineral fiber insulation
Thanks
Jim
I personally have never heard mineral fiber might contain asbestos.
Thanks Bob, either have I so I figured I would ask for some opinions. This SHI^%^%T was nasty and old not to mention a tight squeeze LOL

I think they used to spray that stuff with endust or something because I always feel filthy after crawling through it.
Just gotta check underneath it for where the real asbestos is (oops).
I love how I gotta recommend a moisture barrier in my report even though the places are over fifty years old and dry as a bone.The clients must roll up their eyes to see that.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring fiber that is mined. Since mineral wool is a man-made fiber, it does not contain asbestos. I’ve read about mineral wool, asbestos and resins mixed together to manufacture a couple specific industrial insulating products, but it’s not likely the kind of stuff used for residential insulation.
Sweettttt Bob, now that’s what I am talking about bro.!!
great info as always…
I hope you guys are still in the mood to help identify this brand …
Tom, would you have a bigger photo? That one is kind of small.
Well it does look like fiber insulation of some sort.
Did you grab the name of the product on the bag?
Thanx Marcel…
The bag was ripped in half, with the other half missing.
Tried to blow up the pic looks like it says----SS Fibre probably rockwool (mineral) insulation. To the left of the picture the 2 wires…is that knob and tube?
