Hello everyone,
the following pictures show an adhesive layer underneath carpet and vinyl flooring that was found in our renovation project.
Of course, we will have samples analyzed in a laboratory.
However, I would like to ask about your experiences with asbestos and such adhesives... Does it look like asbestos to you? The texture is extremely hard and brittle.
Thank you very much for your support!

I recognize the pictograms for "sofa" and "bed" – so we are apparently looking at the back side of a carpet recommended for living rooms and bedrooms (I cannot interpret the other pictograms). This carpet was likely fully glued down with a liquid adhesive. Carpet backings contain plastics (foam materials), whose plasticizers naturally change over time. To my knowledge, asbestos is not found in any rollable materials; it consists of fibers that, apart from being much smaller, can be imagined similar to those in particle boards. Exposing asbestos on such a large area without respiratory protection would make it impossible to spend more than a few minutes without developing noticeable lung irritation.

Thank you all for your responses!
The black material turned out to be mastic asphalt (asphalt screed). I forgot to mention that we plan to remove the screed in order to install underfloor heating afterward.
Now about a new building material:
The brown layer is fibrous and seems to be an insulation material, while I suspect the thin gray layer is asbestos board.
What do you think?
