Removal of Asbestos in Bonded Vinyl Floor Tiles
Bonded Vinyl Floor Tiles
PVC or vinyl flooring products and related products can often contain small amounts of asbestos, including around 5% of very fine chrysotile. Larger and often visible amounts of chrysotile can be found in black and brown thermoplastic tiles. Old sheet floor coverings were sometimes backed with a thin layer of chrysotile paper, as were some types of underfelt such as hessian underlays for linoleum and carpets.
Asbestos might also be found in the mastics used to bond the covering to the floor. Some hardwearing composite floors contain about 2 per cent of mineral fibres, which may include asbestos.

Removal Procedure
Safety First
Using a paint scraper or other wide blade, lift each tile away from the floor, using a gentle action to lessen the chance of breakage. A hammer may be of use to help lift stuck tiles.
Dust Control
Keep dust down by spraying water mist beneath the tiles as you lift them.
Asbestos Waste Bagging
Put the tiles in a 200 µm plastic waste bag. An alternative is a dedicated container dedicated for asbestos waste that is clearly labelled with a warning.
Adhesive Removal
Also remove any adhesive that is remains on the floor using the scraper or blade and put it in the same bag or container.
Heat Application Caution
If heat is needed to soften the old adhesive beneath a vinyl tile, be sure avoid burning the tile.
Final Decontamination
Once all the tiles have been removed perform the appropriate cleaning, decontamination, waste removal and disposal procedures before area can be re-occupied by humans.
