Only way to find out is to FIRST, soak the substance with water with a little bit of detergent in it as a surfactant, then scrap up the substance and take it in a sealed baggie to an asbestos testing facility. Asbestos which is a natural mineral is friable meaning it breaks up into minute fibers that won't dissolve in acid. Have them examine it under a microscope - its the only way you'll know if its asbestos.
