In contrast, the opposite behavior is exhibited by paramagnetic materials. Diamagnetism is a quantum mechanical effect that occurs in all materials; when it is the only contribution to the magnetism the material is called a diamagnet.Unlike a ferromagnet, a diamagnet is not a permanent magnet.Its magnetic permeability is less than Î¼ 0, the permeability of vacuum. In most materials diamagnetism is a weak effect, but a superconductor repels the magnetic field entirely, apart from a thin layer at the surface.nlike a ferromagnet, a diamagnet is not a permanent magnet.

The use of asbestos in new construction projects has been banned for health and safety reasons in many developed countries or regions, including the European Union, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, and New Zealand.
Asbestos insulating board, also known as AIB or by the trade name Asbestolux, was an asbestos containing board used in the building trade because of its excellent fire resistance and heat insulating properties.These boards were commonly used in the UK from the 1930s up until production was terminated in 1980.IB tended to contain 25-40% asbestos, with amosite being the most common form of asbestos used, although a mixture of amosite and chrysotile was also common, and crocidolite was sometimes used in older boards and some marine boards.
