Asbestos Removal

Deconstruct_asbestos_removal

What is Asbestos and Asbestos removal? 

Definition of Asbestos:

‘Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous material the name covers any of six incombustible, chemical-resistant, fibrous minerals of impure magnesium silicate, occurring in either serpentine or amphibole form, and used historically in many products, including fire proofing, electrical insulation, building materials, brake linings and chemical filters. Owing to health hazards, notably lung damage from asbestos inhalation, use of asbestos has been restricted and its removal has been mandated in many instances’.

Where is Asbestos used?

Asbestos was widely used as an insulation and fire proofing solution. In particular, it found its way into products like ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, boilers, sprayed coatings and garage roof tiles in buildings such as houses, factories, offices, schools and hospitals. It was even used in clothing, a handkerchief in the 18th Century, and Charlemagne the Roman Emperor was said to have a tablecloth made entirely from ‘Salamander Hair/Wool’ – the Roman name for asbestos.

Why should we remove asbestos?

It has now been proven that the fibres from asbestos can cause serious harm to people’s health. Asbestos inhalation can lead to breathing problems, lung cancer and mesothelioma, causing around 5000 deaths every year, with around 500 new cases coming to light yearly.

As this has become an important issue, the need to remove asbestos has increased over the years.

How can we help you remove asbestos?

Masterflex manufacture hoses on-site that can be designed to suit your asbestos removal requirements. One hose in particular that would help the removal of asbestos is the Masterclip Vinyl.

This can be produced:

– in either grey or red material

– 6 or 8 metre lengths as standard, lengths up to 25 metres to order.

Properties of Master Clip Vinyl

• smallest bending radii

• highly flexible

• extremely compressible to approx. 1:6

• outer chafing protection spiral

• high tension-proof connection of wall-lining and spiral via special clamp mechanism

• adheres to TRBS 2153 (Zone 1, 21) for non-flammable dusts and gases with low conductivity for dissipation of electrostatic charges with double-ended grounding of clips and gradient of < 30 mm

• robust and inexpensive

Temperature Range

•-20°C to +70°C

•peaks to +80°C

Results day for GCSE’s

It’s an anxious and nervous day for all the Girls and Boys today, as the GSCE results are here. Introduced to the UK in 1988, the GCSE was to replace the “O’Level” and the “CSE” examinations.  One of the main changes consisted of two years of coursework, which was to contribute towards their final results.

After revising, taking the exams and then relaxing over the summer, today is the day all their hard work has hopefully paid off!!!

Masterflex would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best of luck and we hope you get the results you wish for.  The next decision will be what to do next????

You may decide to have a career in the Motor industry, Construction, Woodwork, Medicine, Food or maybe the Military, to name but a few. Here at Masterflex Technical Hoses we have manufactured and supplied hoses for all of these industries. For further information, please check out our website or simply call our friendly Sales Team on 0161 626 8066.

Time for some repairs………Big Ben will be silent for several months!

What an iconic Landmark and probably the most famous clock in the world, Big Ben.

Big Ben is the giant bell in the belfry of the Elizabeth Tower at the Palace of Westminster, which has been overlooking our Capital City of London, for over 151 years, and has become a very popular tourist site.

Cast at Whitechapel Bell Foundry on the 10th April 1858, the famous clock is now in need of some repairs due to cracks in the masonry and corrosion to the cast iron roof, so whilst the construction and mechanical works are to be carried out, there will be no more chimes during this period.  So at 12.00pm on the 21st August there will be no more dongs……..!!!!!

 

Here at Masterflex Technical Hoses we supply many different types of flexible ducting for Construction and Mechanical purposes.  Feel free to check out our website or contact our friendly Sales Team by ringing 0161 626 8066 or emailing sales@masterflex-uk.com
