Imikhiqizo yesamente ye-asbestos inamandla okugoba aphezulu kanye nokuthamba futhi ingenziwa imikhiqizo enezindonga ezincane; futhi inezinzuzo eziningi njengokumelana nokugqwala, ukungangeni kwamanzi, ukumelana kahle neqhwa kanye nokumelana nokushisa, kanye nokucutshungulwa okulula kwemishini. Inkinga yayo enkulu amandla aphansi okuthinteka; i-fibre ye-asbestos e-asphalt ingakhuphula izinga lokushisa elithambile le-asphalt futhi inciphise ukuphuka kwayo emazingeni okushisa aphansi. Imikhiqizo ye-asphalt ye-asbestos ingasetshenziswa njenge-waterproof, i-thermal insulation, i-ukumelana nomswakama, i-embedded filling, i-insulation, kanye ne-resistance to buildings. I-Alkali nezinye izinto.

Imikhiqizo yokuvikela ukushisa ye-asbestos. Isibonelo, i-asbestos ivame ukusetshenziswa njengengqimba yokuvikela ukushisa odongeni lwangaphandle kanye nemisele yebhoyila, okungathuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kokushisa kwebhoyila; ukuvikela ukushisa kwemishini yomusi kunganciphisa izinga lokushisa le-workshop; ukusetshenziswa kokuvikela ukushisa kwe-asbestos kwemishini yokuvikela kungathuthukisa umphumela wokupholisa; isetshenziselwa izimoto, imikhumbi nezinye izimoto Ukuvikela ukushisa kwegumbi lebhoyila ngeke kwandise izinga lokushisa lenqola noma ikhabhini.
