Help Regarding Print Dryer and Asbestos
Could I pick your collective brains. I am disposing of an old Nova
Fibre Based Print Dryer but have been told that the older models may contain asbestos. I was wondering if anyone had any idea if the unit does contain asbestos. I purchased this machine in around 1993 - 1995. I have contacted the manufacturers but no response as yet. The address to view the type unit is: http://www.novadarkroom.com/cgi/sh00...2117#aAPGS2117 Any helpful comments gratefully received TIA |

If so, I suspect there is no problem - manufacturers stopped using it in products after the concerns became known in the 1970's. So by 1993-95, I suspect that a new dryer would have been free of asbestos. |

Yes the Dryer was new when bought from Nova and as you say concerns over asbestos have been around for some time. Many thanks for this. |
