Lead Stop Encapsulating Compound is a thick elastomeric coating that is made to be a long lasting barrier over lead based paint.
When applied according to directions, Lead Stop provides a protective barrier coat that seals, blocks in lead that is contained in old lead based paints on previously painted surfaces.
Lead Stop has earned a seal of approval for lead abatement from D.L. Litter Laboratories and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts – Department of Public Health Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program.
Lead Stop protects the existing painted surfaces from further deterioration and has been specifically formulated to resist cracking from impact, surface movement and age for long term protection.
Application Instructions
For encapsulation of lead-paint on walls, ceilings, trim and other surfaces. Use brush, roller or other airless piston-type spray equipment with tip size 0.015-0.023 inches (e.g., Graco Ultra 1000 Electronic Sprayer).
Apply Lead Stop at a rate of 125 square feet per gallon. Apply second coat if greater dry film thickness is desired. A 14 mil wet application will yield a nominal 6 mil dry film thickness. The coating should dry to the touch in 4 to 6 hours. At that time a second coat can be applied if necessary. Further curing takes up to 24 hours.
Prior to application inspect all surfaces to insure they are clean, dry and free of all foreign matter including dust, grease, oil, mildew, glue size, calcimine, wax, soap, loose paint, etc. Patch and repair irregularities in surfaces with prepared vinyl patch or appropriate patching compound. Do not apply the product when temperatures are below 50 degrees F.
