Hey Rocket Witch someone mentioned on discord (who I don't think has an account here) that Aramid Fiber has potential as an Asbestos substitute. Could you find the data for asbestos so I could see if they're interchangeable for laser resistance? Doubtful. I've looked before on my own accord. That 0.07 thermal conductivity sure looks nice, but online data concerned with properties and use of rather than safety and removal of asbestos are a rarity. The stuff was outlawed long before people used the Internet to advertise and trade such things. I have looked for other building materials like concrete and brick too, but very little luck getting more than density and compressive strength for them. someusername6 might do better than me with their library card, if interested. I remember when a building got taken down where I work, we threw some of the corrugated ceramic roof panelling which supposedly contained asbestos into a fire and it exploded. 10/10 heat resistance.I. Can't. Stop. Laughing. At. This. |

Those posts made me really want to put in the request... we must have asbestos as a useable material in game.
Solid, single piece, raw asbestos.

I searched a little bit with my own library and found nothing. Its no big deal if you can't find anything. Good luck with work, hope you don't explode anytime soon. |

Someone set fire to the container that had discarded asbestos here when the sanitation of asbestos of this apartment complex was going on, I don't remember what they used to set the fire, but there was hardly even soot. The fire departement was really annoyed because they needed maximum safety equipment to deal with a fire that basically died on its own, so my experience is different to say the least, could it have been violent thermal cracking of the tile? Otherwise I'd doubt that it actually was asbestos. |

Single piece would probably be extremely costly since it's a fiber, it would be good for the health aspects though since only the shorter fibers are a health hazard. But yeah, asbestos would be fun! |

sooo, long Asbestos is safe?

sooo, long Asbestos is safe? Yep, it doesn't get into your lungs so safe unless you voluntarily put it there, the problem with the smallest fibers is that at the slightest provocation they become airborne and they can stay that way for long periods of time at which point you breathe them in, the longer the fiber the more difficult to accomplish that. There has been work trying to synthesize longer asbestos fibers since the 50's though and I haven't heard of any success, though I can't imagine it'd be easy to get funding for such projects. |

For all intemts and purposes its been replaced by various iterations of glass and synthetic fibers.

Basalt fiber composite is the closest ingame substitute for asbestos. Both materials are made from high-silica minerals. zorbeltuss The tiles probably were just regular clay type stuff, for the most part, with only a minor proportion of asbestos, if any. The stuff didn't actually ignite at all — indeed it cracked violently, sending a few pieces flying. |

Does anyone know what the laser damage threshold of carbon / graphene is? It is defined for a fair few metals but I don't see it on most other sections.
