Protection Paints Asbestos Protect

Protection Paints Asbestos Protect is an encapsulating system that seals rigid, sound asbestos in locations within buildings which are not subject to damage, concealed or are difficult to access. It permanently bonds residual asbestos fibres, after primary removal, to the surface to which they are attached or upon which they lay.

Best Uses

Protection Paints Asbestos Protect Encapsulating Coating is the ultimate solution for securing areas containing asbestos. This water based, solvent free, low odour, high-performance coating is designed to effectively seal rigid, sound asbestos in hard-to-reach or concealed locations that are not subject to mechanical damage. It effectively prevents the release of asbestos fibres into the atmosphere by encapsulating them.

Asbestos Protect is recommended for use in the following areas:

• Internal wall panels
• Top and underside of ceiling panels
• Rigid internal ducts or pipework
• External wall sheets, fascia or soffits

Protection Paints Asbestos Protect is ideal for use in areas that are difficult to access, such as behind walls, above ceilings, and in other concealed spaces.
