Recognizing asbestos-containing adhesives, any experiences?

Hi, I am currently tearing down my kitchen. Can you recognize asbestos-containing tiles and PVC adhesive? I'll post the wall tile adhesive and the PVC adhesive. I really have zero knowledge. I would appreciate it if you could help me with your experiences.

Can asbestos-containing tiles and PVC adhesives be identified?

No. From when is the adhesive?

No. How old is the adhesive?

No. How old is the adhesive?

so the house is from the year 1932. It was completely renovated in 1976 (water and electricity). I don’t know if the kitchen and the floor are that old. But the kitchen is more from the year 1990/2000, but the floor - no idea

To really be safe, one takes a sample and sends it for examination to an independent institute that conducts an asbestos analysis.

Hello,
Recognizing asbestos can sometimes be very easy, excluding asbestos is actually only possible through an analysis. Especially with floor adhesive, even someone who does this professionally reaches their limits.

There are analysis kits available for purchase, where you have to take the sample yourself, bag it, and send it off. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how expensive they are. Generally, you should expect around €100.
