| Résumé : | This eighty-first volume of IARC Monographs considers certain man-made vitreous (glass-like) fibres of highly variable composition that are widely used for thermal and acoustical insulation and to a lesser extent for other purposes. The generic term, manmade vitreous fibres (MMVFs), denotes non-crystalline, fibrous inorganic substances (silicates) made primarily from rock, slag, glass or other processed minerals. These fibres, also called man-made mineral fibres, include glass fibres (used in glass wool and continuous glass filament), rock (stone)/slag wool and refractory ceramic fibres. Rock (stone) wool, slag wool and glass wool are used extensively in thermal and acoustical insulation, typically in buildings, vehicles and appliances. The refractory ceramic fibres are designed for high-temperature applications, mainly in industrial settings. Continuous glass filament is used primarily in reinforced composite materials for the insulation, electronics and construction industries. These substances were evaluated by a previous IARC Working Group (IARC, 1988). Since these evaluations, new data have become available, which have been incorporated into the monograph and were taken into consideration in the present evaluations. |
