Bite N Hold

Update. I sent it to the lab and it came back as cellulose ,fiberglass and binding agent. Thanks for all the help and info.

Just curious if it is safe for my little ones. The A/C blows into the attic and comes down through returns in the ceiling. There is no duct work. Did that stuff contain anything I need to worry about?

Well, funny you should mention steel bldgs. The house was done by a guy that built large food processing plants. The guys that did one of the plants also did the house. So it very well could be what Bill is talking about.

First of all I am new to the forum and it seems like a wealth of knowledge. We are under contract to buy a house. in the attic is sprayed Urethane(I assume) foam, with another layer of something else sprayed on top of that. This is over the entire roof deck and trusses where they attach to the roof deck. The second layer is light tan in color, brittle, and looks like concrete from the back side when removed. It also appears to have small fibrous strands in it. It is very light weight. I am not sure what it is. Any ideas? The house was built in 1978 and the foam is original with the house. Can this be some type of cellulose or is it more likely an asbestos type coating? Why would it be sprayed on top of the foam? Should I be worried? Click to Enlarge 41.08 KB Click to Enlarge 42.49 KB
