verized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure, and
includes previously nonfriable materials after such previ-
ously nonfriable material becomes damaged to the ex-
tent that when dry it may be crumbled, pulverized, or

doors, fume hoods, felt under roofs or siding, kiln bricks
and cement, lab equipment, fire safety equipment, audi-
torium curtains, gaskets, vibration joints, HVAC duct tape,
and many many more.
