Building insulation materials jagged, shredded, or scuffed). When found in the home, asbestos often resembles grayish-white corrugated cardboard coated with cloth or canvas, usually held in place around pipes and ducts with metal straps. Things that typically might contain asbestos: All polyurethane foams are composed of petrochemicals. Foam insulation often uses hazardous chemicals with high human toxicity, such as isocyanates, benzene and toluene. The foaming agents no longer use ozone-depleting substances. Personal Protective Equipment is required for all people in the area being sprayed to eliminate exposure to isocyanates which constitute about 50% of the foam raw material. Fiberglass is the most common
IEEE Dielectrics & Electrical Insulation Society IEEE Dielectrics & Electrical Insulation Society The IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society (DEIS) is a professional society of the IEEE. The Professional Technical Group on Electrical Insulation held their first meeting on September 16, 1963, and changed their name shortly after to the Group on Electrical Insulation in May 1964. In 1978 the group's name was changed to Electrical Insulation Society and in 1986 became the Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society. IEEE DEIS produces two major publications that deal with its Field of Interest: Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation and Electrical Insulation Magazine. IEEE DEIS sponsors several internationally
