Encapsulant definition

Encapsulant means a substance that forms a barrier between lead-based paint and the environment using a liquid-applied coating (with or without reinforcement materials) or an adhesively bonded covering material.
Encapsulant means a permanent coating applied to the surface of friable ACM for the purpose of preventing the release of asbestos fibers. The encapsulant creates a membrane over the surface (bridging encapsulant) or penetrates the material and binds its components together (penetrating encapsulant).
Encapsulant means a covering or coating that forms a barrier between lead−based paint and the environment using an adhesively bonded covering material or a liquid−applied coating, with or without reinforcement materials.

Examples of Encapsulant in a sentence

  • Encapsulant shall be tinted or pigmented so that application when dry is readily discernible.

  • Global Encasement recommends for the Pacific a primer called “MPE” (Multi-Purpose Encapsulant) and a top coat called “Asbestosafe”.

  • Lock-Down Encapsulant (used to seal off or "lock-down" minute asbestos fibers left on surfaces from which asbestos containing material has been removed).

  • Encapsulant: A material that surrounds or embeds asbestos fibers in an adhesive matrix to prevent release of fibers.

  • Bridging Encapsulant: An encapsulant that forms a discrete layer on the surface of an in situ asbestos matrix.
