Abstract

Results are presented for industrial tests of contemporary asbestos-free insulation and sealing materials and articles in electrolyzer production. It is shown that asbestos-free insulation materials and articles makes it possible to exclude entirely use of asbestos-containing materials in electrolyzer production. The main restraining factor for large-scale introduction of asbestos-free materials is their relatively high cost.
