Posted by inventor 5/10/2006 6:17 AM | remove   I doubt it very much. When were asbestos brake pads banned? Perhaps 20 years ago? This depot was working last summer. Posted by Corvid 5/24/2006 6:41 PM | remove   I'm pretty sure they still use some form of asbestos... Posted by inventor 5/25/2006 2:06 AM | remove   If they did, I don't think those pads would be in an open bin like this. I think they now use a kind of mineral fibre, so a material similar in properties to asbestos, but not actually asbestos. Posted by TurboZutek 5/25/2006 2:51 AM | remove   Asbestos of any type is very, very banned from brake pads and clutch linings in the UK. A substitute manufactured from hardened graphite, Aramid and steel or brass filings is often used now. It wears quicker and has somewhat inferior properties to asbestos, but it's less cancery!

Says brake pads are allowed to contain asbestos here http://www.epa.gov/asbestos/pubs/asbbans2.pdf Posted by rainman8889 12/1/2006 1:19 AM | remove   Shutterbug worked in a brake plant in 1999 as a painter and sander on the line. She had to wear breathing protection there and yes, the brake pads that company made have asbestos in them. By the end of the day, the inside of her mask would be black at the end of the day. She quit that job after about six months. Posted by SnakeCorp 12/1/2006 4:40 PM | remove   I'd have quit it after 6 hours, I think. Your health's more important than any job. Posted by rainman8889 12/2/2006 1:43 AM | remove   True there SnakeCorp. She quit when she got her current job. And with considerable relief I may add!
