Fiber ciment with asbestos?

[satamax]

Calm down guys, i know this stuff is dangerous.

But, is it refractory? Would it work in a heat riser? I know it would be dangerous to others as the particles of asbestos would be dragged outside by the flue gasses.

No, it isn't refractory. It's a mix with normal portland cement, which isn't heat resistant. Please don't use it, it will burst in pieces when heated over 500 C and will send airborne asbestos fibers all around your neighborhood.

Thanks a lot Karl.

THanks to have taken the time to even dig the first result in french.

The second one led me to this www.ebay.com/itm/High-temperature-ceramic-fiber-board-2300-F-900-mm-x-600-mm-x-25-mm-1-/110813062657?pt=BI_Security_Fire_Protection&hash=item19ccf92601

I wonder how easy it is to cut or crush.

Cutting is no problem with a diamond blade.
Crushing with any hammer.
