Abstract

In Thailand, asbestos-cement roof tiles have been used widely for over seven decades in favor of its strength and durability. Presently, for its known pathogenic property, other materials have been used as substitute. However, despite the effective control of the related governmental authorities has been apparent that the dangers in the producing processes and to the Thais at large are none, some tile industries have substituted asbestos with other materials. The present study was carried out regarding the comparative strength and durability of the asbestos cemented tiles and the cemented tiles with substitute.

The results disclose that asbestos cement tiles are much stronger and more durable than the non-asbestos cement tiles.

Key words: cement tile, asbestos, non-asbestos substitute
