It is an elastomeric acrylic
encapsulment coating that provides
an economical, effective and safe
sealing of lead base paints and
asbestos materials. In order to
remove the old materials that
contain lead or asbestos, "hazardous
material" abatement companies need
to be called in because they are the
only ones permitted to remove the
old hazardous materials -- at great
expense.
Since local waste
disposal sites do not accept
hazardous materials, those hazardous
materials need to be hauled to a
designated hazardous waste site at
great expense. By using Asbestos
Asbestos Encapsulation no need to remove any
mechanical equipment that can cause
ruptures in the system and cause
asbestos and lead dust to be
air-born. SAVE MONEY NORMALLY SPENT

General Chemical’s
decontamination technologies
provide affordable, leading-edge
solutions that remove asbestos
and lead paint
residues from virtually
any contaminated surface.
Designed for maximum safety and
effectiveness, these
leading-edge products are quick
and easy to use.
Asbestos Encapsulation coating traps and
encapsulates a wide spectrum of
residues in easy to apply , no
requirement for pre-preparation
process allowing easy and safe
disposal without the use of
water. When dry, the product
locks the contaminants into a
polymer matrix. The film
containing the encapsulated
contamination can then be peeled
and disposed.
General chemical is a worldwide
supplier of decontamination
coating to reduce and clean up
hazardous residues from chemical
spills. Proven coatings and
cleaners are innovative,
economical and easy-to-use. They
are environment friendly, safe
to apply and easy to dispose.
Our products will work in
your laboratory safe practice ,
Decontamination and
Reutilization projects.
Asbestos is a naturally
occurring fibrous mineral that
is highly toxic when inhaled.
Simply put, asbestos
encapsulation refers to the
actual sealing of asbestos
within a protective shell.
This is done for a number of
reasons, but the main reason is
that removing all asbestos
materials from some structures
is nearly impossible. In fact,
scientists have discovered that
attempting to remove asbestos
from a building is more harmful
than simply covering it up. When
asbestos has been disturbed,
small particles of the toxin
drift into the air. As a result,
an air space can quickly become
contaminated. Therefore, the
best solution is to manage
asbestos by containing it using
asbestos encapsulation
techniques.
Encapsulation techniques of
asbestos abatement seal off
materials containing asbestos
behind a barrier of some sort.
One common method for performing
asbestos encapsulation uses
various coatings to cover
asbestos materials.
Encapsulation is often used to
cover non-friable materials
which may be subject to
weathering or use, such as
asbestos-laced concrete. Here is a quick step by step run
down of the encapsulation
process.
Unlike most
painting projects, surface
preparation for asbestos
encapsulation is limited to
removing mold, lichen or other
growths. No attempt is made to
sand or roughen the surface in
preparation for the primer coat.
Doing so would release asbestos
fibers, and create a health
hazard. After any mold and
lichen have been removed, an
initial Asbestos_encapsulant is
applied to the surface.
The
Asbestos_encapsulant, if
properly applied will decrease
the likelihood of the material
degrading or deteriorating and
releasing harmful asbestos
fibers into the air. Once the
Asbestos_encapsulant has
thoroughly dried to protect the
Asbestos_encapsulant from
weathering effects. For interior
locations, gypsum wallboard may
be applied over the encapsulated
surface.
Asbestos
abatement procedures must be
done by properly licensed
professionals. If your paint and
coating contractors do not have
the required training and
certification, they should be
able to put you in touch with
professional asbestos abatement
company. .
