Liquid substances that are applied to asbestos-containing material(ACMS) to prevent the escape of fibers. Bridging encapsulants form a coating over the ACM surface. Penetrating encapsulants soak into the ACMs to bind the components together. Both types are frequently used together. Removal encapsulants moisten and adhere to the ACMs being removed.
Liquid substances that are applied to contaminants to prevent their escape. Bridging encapsulants form a coating over the contaminant’s surface. Penetrating encapsulants soak into the contaminants to bind its components together. Both types are frequently used together.
A material that will form a durable coating or covering when applied to surfaces and components that contain hazardous substances such as asbestos or lead.
Description related to the way dual-wall tubing products and precoated molded parts melt and flow when heated, filling any void in the area being covered. Unlike an adhesive, an encapsulant does not form a mechanical bond to the substrate.
