Well Asbestolux still seems to be available - http://www.fluetech.co.uk/store/asbestolux-board-1200mm-x-595mm-p-5.html - so must be asbestos free I assume the name was kept for familiarity.
What's heatproof, waterproof, and acts as an insulator?

I am amazed! I searched the website for a safety data or technical data sheet which would reveal the content in detail but coukdn't find one. It certainly will cause a lot of questions to be asked if a business or householder gets to see that a product with that name is being installed at their premises or home. Weird or what?

No more than the alternatives. I used a 600deg silicone just as I described and produced a flexible, heat resistant donut. I used this as the spacer and sealed it weathertight with more HR mastic. Has been sealing my old Taylor's flue for three years now.

Glass, or rather easier to manufacture, ceramic.
Just give the dimensions to a local potter and ask him/her to kiln fire something up for you. Couple of quid and a pint. Make a change from teapots and coffee mugs.
