A flexible mat of randomly-oriented, interwoven chyrsotile asbestos fibers, having the appearance of a flake when flattened and spread out to "open" the fibers without separating the individual fibers and without significantly reducing their natural length, have been found to provide a reinforcing agent of extraordinary strength.
Claims16
A method for producing an asbestos product of increased strength comprising subjecting asbestos ore flakes comprised of a flexible mat of randomly oriented and interwoven chrysotile asbestos fibers to a flattening and spreading out operation for a time sufficient to flatten and spread out said flakes so as to open said fibers but for a time insufficient to effect separation of said flakes into individual asbestos fibers and reduction in the natural length of said fibers.
An asbestos product comprising a flexible mat of randomly oriented and interwoven chrysotile asbestos fibers having the appearance of a flake, said flake being flattened and spread out to open said fibers without separation of the flake into individual fibers and without significant reduction in the natural length of the fibers.
