ACM (Asbestos Containing Materials)
FRIABLE ACM
Defined as “any material containing greater than >1% asbestos that can be crumbled to a powder by hand pressure.” Common types of friable ACM include pipe insulation and sprayed on or tiled sound insulation materials. Friable ACM has little structural strength and contains asbestos fibers which are easily released upon breaking. *Pictures represent only SOME potential ACM materials in each category
Sprayed Insulation
Pipe Wrap (TSI)
Boiler Insulation
Category I - Non-Friable ACM
Defined as “packing, gaskets, resilient floor covering and asphalt roofing containing asbestos that cannot be crumbled to powder by hand pressure.” Category 1 ACM is pliable, (not brittle) breaks by tearing rather than fracturing and does not easily release fibers upon breaking. *Pictures represent only SOME potential ACM materials in each category
Floor Tile
Window Glazing
Caulk
Category II - Non-Friable ACM
Defined as “any material, excluding a category I non-friable ACM containing asbestos that cannot be crumbled to powder by hand pressure.”Category II ACM is not pliable, breaks by fracturing rather than tearing and does release some asbestos fibers upon breaking. *Pictures represent only SOME potential ACM materials in each category
