Fibrous particles are those with an elongated shape. They include glass fibres and asbestos. Asbestos has become very widely used because it is a low-cost material with very desirable chemical and physical properties, for instance, excellent heat and fire resistance. This unique combination makes the economical replacement of asbestos very difficult in many applications.
