Most asbestos is safe, until you need to dispose of it. You could make a glove that is encased in another material so you get the insulation with no health hazard, but once it gets worn or thrown in a landfill it will be a problem.

That's fair. I know it's the particulates in the lungs that make it unsafe. It would need special disposal facilities. Economically unviable.
