Up until the 1970s, it was used to build pipes,&nbsp;as an additive in paint, and in many other manufacturing and construction scenarios. Lead is dangerous because, in short, it\u2019s toxic to human systems. There\u2019s no way to&nbsp;extract lead from the bloodstream once it enters it, and lead levels can build up over time and&nbsp;cause sickness. The EPA cites children and pregnant women as particularly at risk to lead&nbsp;exposure and health defects, but anyone can suffer from lead poisoning (<a href=\"https:\/\/irelandsfinestinc.com\/why-lead-paint-is-bad-for-you\/\">Source<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Why is <meta charset=\"utf-8\">asbestos dangerous?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Asbestos is a natural substance that can be found in rocks and soil. The mineral fibre\u2019s durability and resistance to heat allow it to be used in several different ways, like as an insulation component in construction materials and also as non-flammable material. Being exposed to asbestos can have&nbsp;serious, adverse effects&nbsp;on your health. Asbestos exposure can increase your chances of developing lung cancer.&nbsp;Mesothelioma, or cancer of the mesothelial tissue, can develop after being exposed to asbestos. And it can take years for symptoms related to the exposure to appear (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/connect-to-care\/asbestos\/what-is-asbestos\">Source<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Asbestos-encapsulation-Instructions-for-RUST-GRIP.pdf\" title=\"\"><strong>Project Specification for Rust Grip\u00ae Encapsulation of Asbestos &#8211; pdf<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rust-Grip-Microphoto-18-layers-of-lead-paint-2005-VTEC-Labs.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1369\" src=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rust-Grip-Lead-Based-Paint-encapsulation-neotech-coatings-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7818\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Microphoto graph of RUST GRIP\u00ae encapsulating 18 layers of lead based paint &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rust-Grip-Microphoto-18-layers-of-lead-paint-2005-VTEC-Labs.pdf\">See the report<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RUST GRIP\u00ae encapsulates lead based paint, asbestos or hazardous materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/rust-grip\/\">Rust Grip<\/a><\/strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> over porous surfaces to fill, seal, and encapsulate asbestos directly or over the surfaces that have the asbestos fibres encased such as wallboard, metal sheeting, composite materials where <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/rust-grip\/\">Rust Grip<\/a><\/strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is applied to seal and encapsulate the encasement around the asbestos fibre. <meta charset=\"utf-8\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/rust-grip\/\">Rust Grip<\/a><\/strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is a high solids (50% by volume) content material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neotechcoatings.com\/coating-products\/rust-grip\/\">Rust Grip<\/a><\/strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> heavily coated on the exterior side will seal all the seams, seal the air flow, prevent moisture migration into the fibre and secure the fibres inside the encasement.

Using the spring, brush or roller to force the coating into and as deep as possible by using pressure into the fibre is the desired effect. Give the coating one hour to dry and reapply the RUST GRIP in a second coat at 13m2 (130 sq.ft.) per gallon to fill voids, pinholes and secure over the surface of the fibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Encapsulation of existing asbestos directly to the surface or over encasements similar to all types of building materials used to build or construct walls or encasements around asbestos fibers, clean surface with power wash 2500 psi and wipe with acetone to dry the surface.
