It's not available, anywhere. Try Masterboard, or similar
fire-resisting board.

You can always make your own using non-asbestos fibres.

Careful here! My memory may have failed, but ISTR that Asbestolux is a
non-asbestos board made by Cape as a replacement. It was certainly
being specified only 20 years ago. Similar to Masterboard...

Maybe, maybe not, but a quick Google produced;

16 to 30% amosite. Asbestos. Lots of it.

There's also a list of electric storage heaters on that site that
looked interesting. No time to delve further.

Msterboard or Multiboard are the ones I have used these days. Its hard
to sell anything that starts with asbest........

Need something to fire retardent to line existing wooden arch of fire
surround before having an inset gas fire fitted. Corgi fitter suggested
asbestolux, or similar, to do the job.

Masterboard/Multiboard. Bloody expensive, works a treat. About 30 quid
for 8x4x 12mm sheet IIRC.

Supalux is the other common alternative

Aidan is right, Asbestolux did originally contain asbestos, but I think
you are right too. I am fairly sure I remember (I was an asbestos
consultant in a previous life) that a non asbestos version was
introduced as a replacement before Masterboard and Superlux came along.

Msterboard or Multiboard are the ones I have used these days.

Quite :-)
