Hi all

Am just stripping down a 1994 Saunier Duval boiler for its parts, mainly
because BG recently installed a new Heat Exchanger. Having reached the heat
exchanger it does indeed look brand new, nice matt silver finish!

However inside there is a 1cm thick lining of a fibrous white material.
Surely this can't be asbestos!?

Is there a new type of material that is used around the heat exchangers
these days, which is easily broken, very weak and flay, and resembles
papier-maché when easily broken up, but in its solid form is a perfect thin
block?

Thanks - before I go any further!

Me.
