Abstract
Environmental and health considerations have led to the substitution of cellulosic
fibres for asbestos fibres in many cement-based products. Inevitably, the
substitution has required modifications to the manufacturing process.
Certain production techniques associated with the switch to cellulosic fibres and
other additives needed elucidation. It is possible that to ensure the required
concentration of certaln additives in the final product, an excess is being used in
the process because of uncertainties about the quantitative balance of the process.
