protected conditions, lifespan may be longer Standard paint Generic Acts as a surface encapsulant to protect the surface and prevent release of fibres Covering surfaces of good condition ACM Dependant on the environment Enclosure Plywood Plywood enclosures can be built around ACM to protect it from impact or damage. Good condition ACMs not being removed, but when work is being done in the vicinity surrounding them Limited – only for when work is being conducted, months to a year Fibroseal (Crommelin) Water-based encapsulants Penetrative primer with a topcoat Roofing, also used on fences and walls Guaranteed with trained applicators for 10 years Asbestos Binding Compound (ABC) (Fiberlock) Encapsulant – can be used as a bridging, penetrative or lockdown encapsulant ABC is a high solids asbestos encapsulant/sealant, designed to encapsulate friable ACM such as fireproofing and insulation material Penetrative encapsulant for fireproofing, celling plasters etc. Lockdown encapsulant after removal In indoor applications when applied correctly can be >20years Transite Barrier Compound (TBC) (Fiberlock) Bridging Encapsulant TBC is an elastomeric thermoplastic based copolymer, blended specifically to seal interior and exterior asbestos containing Industrial Fiber Cement Board Bridging encapsulant for indoor and outdoor use 10-20years depending on the environment and application Griptack (Fiberlock) Putty / Sticky glue A soft, flexible membrane, which locks down asbestos fibres to insure final clearance after the removal Applied during remediation, any dust generated during the remediation process sticks to the surface of the glue For remediation purposes only Serpimastic (Fiberlock) Sprayable or trowelable encapsulant Super tough and exceptionally durable, high solids, water-based, high performance mastic coating Indoor and outdoor applications, trafficable surfaces ~10yrs depending on application and environment
Lag Kloth (Fiberlock) Membrane coating – rewettable cloth Lag-Kloth is a woven fabric impregnated with an inorganic adhesive, designed to repair and/or cover existing asbestos insulation on pipes, boilers etc. Needs to be covered with an encapsulant to provide full protection Asbestos lagging on boilers etc. 10-20yrs when applied correctly with full system Asbestoseal (Insultec) Encapsulant Penetrative encapsulant Roofing 10 years guaranteed Asbestos Sealer (Nutech Paints) Encapsulant Penetrative encapsulant designed to adhere to weathered and porous asbestos surfaces Roofing Uncertain Foamshield (Foamshield) Foam Foam sprayed onto surfaces to be removed, particles collide with foam, become saturated and are encapsulated so they are not released into the air. The foam blanket becomes the containment and the need for excessive protection methods is reduced During removal of asbestos in areas that are difficult to contain / enclose, or for removal of friable asbestos For remediation purposes only Rivett (Astec Paints) Solvent encapsulant - part of a 3 stage system Barrier is a bacterial, algal and fungal wash designed to clean and treat the mould on the surface of the material before the sealant is applied. Rivett is a clear solvent based solution designed to penetrate aged asbestos sheeting. Finally it is covered with a topcoat that has improved thermal performance Roofs – can fill in the hairline cracks in roofs No estimate on lifespan provided
