📊 Facts About Asbestos in Soundproofing Products

• 🔇 Asbestos was commonly used in soundproofing products for its fire resistance, strength, and insulation properties.
• 🚨 Asbestos Exposure: High during application, installation, demolition, cutting, sanding, or removal of soundproofing materials.
• 💢 Asbestos-Related Disease Risk: Severe for construction workers, insulators, painters, carpenters, shipyard workers, and maintenance crews.
• 🔥 Soundproofing materials often contained friable asbestos, meaning fibers were easily released into the air.
• 👷 Similar Occupations: Plasterers, drywall installers, HVAC technicians, electricians, pipefitters, and Navy personnel.


📜 History of Asbestos Use in Soundproofing Products

From the 1930s through the 1980s, asbestos was widely added to soundproofing products to improve fire resistance, reduce noise, and enhance thermal insulation. It was commonly used in sprayed-on coatings, ceiling tiles, wall panels, and acoustic insulation across commercial buildings, schools, industrial facilities, and ships. The friable nature of these materials meant that even minor disturbances—such as drilling a hole or removing ceiling panels—could release millions of asbestos fibers into the air.

Workers installing, repairing, or demolishing these materials often inhaled asbestos dust without realizing the long-term risks. Even today, older buildings built before the 1980s continue to contain asbestos soundproofing products, posing significant risks during renovations or demolition projects.
