After more than 20 years of efforts, the United States, Japan and Australia have successively developed various series of asbestos-free gasket materials. 1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a government regulation prohibiting the use of asbestos materials and their products. Now, advanced countries in the world have extended asbestos-free materials to various application fields and completely banned asbestos materials.
