Non-friable, organically bound.

So, not able to be (easily) pulverized into loose fibrils/dust, and intermixed with a binder.

Things like floor tile, transite (black lab table tops), etc.

Conceptully similar to materials like FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic), that mix the fiber throughout the liquid material that then binds to it and hardens.

Loose fiber materials like pipe wrap or asbestos tape are where it is difficult to handle safely and should have been used very sparingly.
