Description
HB Fuller Foster Asbestos Removal Encapsulant - Clear - 5 Gallon - 32-61
HB Fuller Foster Asbestos Removal Encapsulant is a water-based polymeric coating designed for effective asbestos abatement. Ideal for industrial and environmental professionals, this clear encapsulant penetrates asbestos-containing materials (ACM) such as amosite and crocidolite, locking fibers together to minimize airborne contamination during removal. Its advanced formulation supports safer asbestos handling and cleanup on job sites requiring strict fiber control.
Key features
- Polymeric, water-based coating for thorough asbestos fiber encapsulation
- Penetrates and wets-out all types of asbestos fibers including amosite and crocidolite
- Reduces airborne fiber release during removal and cleanup
- Effective aerosol application improves air quality by capturing pre-existing airborne fibers
- Can be used full strength as a post-removal residual encapsulant
- Compatible with high and low pressure airless spray application methods
- Low odor when wet, no odor when dry
- Non-flammable wet formulation with a surface tension of 29.6 dynes/cm
Ideal applications
- Asbestos abatement and removal projects
- Industrial and commercial construction sites
- Environmental remediation and hazardous material handling
- Facilities requiring fiber containment and air quality control
- Post-removal asbestos fiber encapsulation and cleanup
