Asbestite

This company also exhibits fine specimens of Asbestite (the new insulating material), asbestos varnish, paint, millboard, paper, cloth, tape, and a variety of other articles at once useful and interesting.

Handsome copper and silver ore and delicious-looking asbestite are to be found with scarcely straying from the road.

When asbestite was sprinkled on the meniscus of a 14 ton ingot, the molten portion of the surface of the ingot was preserved for a prolonged period and this defect was eliminated when asbestite was added at the rate of 1·5–2·0 kg/ton.
