Why we don’t use asbestos in your brake pads, clutch plates, head gaskets…?

First let’s learn a little what is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a mineral fiber with high fire resistance, electrical insulation and thermal insulation properties.

And its properties will not change at a high temperature of even 1000 degrees.

There are several advantages of asbestos material:

• Large quantity
• Durability
• Wide application
• Low cos
• … …

Especially after entering the industrial age, it has become an important fire protection, insulation sealing and thermal insulation material, etc…

So BEFORE, asbestos has a wide range of applications in many industries, including the Automobile industries.

Products that may use asbestos material in auto parts include: Heat shields, Head Gaskets, Brake Pads and Clutch plates Etc…

You can’t tell the difference between asbestos and non-asbestos with the naked eye: they look almost identical from the outside.

You need professional laboratory equipment to detect whether there is asbestos or not.

There are more than 1,000 reasons that you can choose to use asbestos materials in your Auto Parts…

But there is only one reason that we don’t using asbestos material:

Because it is harmful to your body!

Asbestos has the biggest hazard: it can cause cancer, especially lung cancer!

Asbestos chemical composition itself does not cause cancer.

Asbestos carcinogenicity is mainly concentrated during it’s mining and using process.

Because if the powder particles of asbestos enter the lungs, the fibers will split into many tiny fibers, which will stay in your lungs and never discharged for decades.

The incubation period for asbestos hazards can be as long as 20-50 years.

These long-standing fibers in the lungs can cause malignancies, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and digestive system tumors etc…

As early as 2017, asbestos and its products have been classified as a class 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization.

That’s why we don’t use asbestos for auto parts.

AS Auto have been using asbestos-free materials to produce related cylinder gaskets, brake pads and clutch plates more than 15 years.

We guarantee 100% asbestos-free, using alternative materials same performance, a bit higher price, but absolutely safe! No health worries at all! 

Welcome to choose AS Auto, our’s aim is same as your’s: Better Quality, Bette Life!
