Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 were entirely preventable and the defendant fell far short of the high standards required. This should serve as a warning to others about the dangers of asbestos and the legal requirement to manage it properly." Asbestos is a naturally occurring group of silicate minerals that can readily be separated into thin strong fibres that are flexible, heat resistant and chemically inert. Within the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world, asbestos was used extensively as a building material from the 1950s to the 1980s. It was used as a means of fireproofing as well as insulation and any building built
Electrical insulation paper insulation paper. Electrical insulation papers are made from well delignified unbleached kraft pulp. Electrical cables are categorized by the voltage and current used. Telephone cables have moderate voltage and current associated with cables leading moderate electric current or transmitting electrical signals. The telephone cables have a large number of conductors that are individually insulated. In order to not become excessively thick the paper needs to be thin (30-40 g/m). A normal power cable needs more insulation and therefore paper with higher paper density is used, normally 60-190 g/m. The paper needs to be strong, elastic, uniform and free of holes
