FOSTER Bridging Encapsulant is a pigmented single component, water based elastomeric product for use over interior fibrous and cementitious types of asbestos containing materials (ACM). It is easily spray-applied and after curing forms a tough, durable, elastomeric film over the ACM, effectively retarding the fallout of friable asbestos fibers.Bridging Encapsulant can be applied to previously painted surfaces. It can also be used over the hard, non-absorptive types of asbestos insulation that will not "accept" a penetratingtype encapsulant.Bridging Encapsulant can be used with glass cloth as a lagging adhesive and coating to encapsulate asbestos containing pipe covering and boiler lagging insulation.Bridging Encapsulant has been extensively tested by Battelle Columbus Laboratories and is on the list of products deemed acceptable by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Bridging Encapsulant contains no asbestos, lead, mercury, or mercury compounds.
