Came across insulation during the inspection today I’ve not seen. Home was build in 1960 with upgraded plumbing in several areas. The insulation, covering copper supply lines, looks like it was rolled on and perhaps tacky at one point. The texture was somewhat malleable and felt similar to rubber.
My question is what type of insulation is this and whether or not it might contain asbestos?
that really doesn’t look kike the asbestos stuff to me Vince , but whenever i see pipe wrap similar to that i always mention the possibility of the presence of asbestos and certainly reccomend that no one licks the pipe wrap !!!..
I know this thread is older but I found similar looking stuff and was wondering if anyone has further opinions about it and possible asbestos. Image included.
