How to Install Lag-Kote II Encapsulant on a Surface Contaminated with Asbestos:

Before applying the Lag-Kote II asbestos encapsulant, it is essential to clean the surface using a HEPA vacuum or a damp cloth. Never use compressed air to avoid dispersing fibers. The product can be applied with a nylon brush, a synthetic roller (minimum 3/8 in), or an airless sprayer (2200 to 2700 PSI, 0.015 to 0.019 tip). It is recommended to stir the product until a uniform consistency is achieved. Dilution with up to 10% water is possible. Drying time to the touch is 1 to 2 hours, and recoating can be done after 8 to 16 hours at 21°C and 50% relative humidity.

Once dry, Lag-Kote II forms a washable and resistant layer. For maintenance, simply clean the surface with a damp cloth or soft sponge. It is advisable to avoid abrasive products or harsh solvents. Regular inspection helps detect any cracks or degradation. In case of damage, a new coat can be applied after localized cleaning.
