Need help identifying this insulation

The attic access at an inspection last week was screwed shut. The client was able to access it today and sent these pics asking if it was asbestos. I’m n ot sure what it is, possibly Rockwool? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

From my point of view it’s really hard to tell what it is from those pictures.

I would tell them that the only way to verify if it contains asbestos is to have it tested.

Thanks for the input Kevin.

It does appear to be rockwool. But it doesn’t usually have paper.
It’s usually just a loose fill.

It just looks like paper backed fiberglass. It’s just very dirty.

What year was the home built?

The home was built in 1980.

1980 is on the bubble. Only way to know is to test.

Okay, Thank you. I did recommend they have it tested.
