A form of asbestos belonging to the amphibole group of minerals. It is also known as blue asbestos.
A fibrous sodium iron chain silicate of the amphibole subgroup of asbestiform minerals, often called "blue asbestos" due to color ranging from Prussian and indigo blue to yellow green. Its fibers generally resemble strands of fine textured hair which can usually bend beyond 90° before breaking. One of three common forms of asbestos found in building materials, formerly constituting about 4% of the world total production of asbestos.
A member of the amphibole group, crocidolite is also known as blue asbestos. This form of asbestos was found in commercial building materials.
Blue asbestos - type of asbestos from amphibole group.
a member of the amphibole group of asbestos, crocidolite takes the form of blue, straight fibers. It is sodium iron magnesium silicate.
A member of the amphibole group of asbestos, this fibrous mineral is referred to as "blue asbestos" as it is often blue in color.
A fibrous, lavender-blue mineral, also called blue asbestos. Crocidolite is a member of the amphibole group of asbestos. Although used less in construction and industry than other forms of asbestos, crocidolite is more commonly associated with mesothelioma.
crocidolite - malignant pleural mesothelioma.
a type of asbestos of the amphibole variety accounting for 3-1/2% of all asbestos used. It is an acid-resistant blue fiber with very high tensile strength, but does not rate as highly in terms of resistance to destruction by heat. It has good flexibility and fair spinnability and was frequently used for thermal insulation, grouting, and lagging.
