Asbestos References:
There is a section on felt materials and construction which clearly states that asbestos is still widely used. Here's the exact quote:
"Conventional dryer felt. Included in this group are the cotton, cotton-synthetic, cotton/synthetic/asbestos, and synthetic felts. These felts -- with their lower initial cost -- are still widely used." Asbestos is also mentioned later in this paragraph. Please see the picture for exact wording/context.
There is a section on Asbestos Cement. Its manufacture and application are described. Please see picture for exact wording.
Asbestos Cement is also listed on the "Felt Application Chart: Typical Felts on their Representative Machines"
Asbestos-Bronze is one of the types of dryer felt yarn shown on a graph about moisture heat degradation.
A table entitled, "Air Permeability of Dryer Clothing" lists data for Cotton-Synthetic-Asbestos Felts.
