Lead Abatement in Older Homes

Houses that were built before 1978, before lead-based paint was banned in homes, typically contain high amounts of lead. Chipped and flaking paint as well as the dust produced by this flaking are just some of the most common lead carriers in a home. If continuously neglected, the presence of lead in a home can lead to serious health hazards.

Removing Lead Paint - A Dangerous Proposition

Removing lead paint can often increase the risk of lead exposure, so it is important to ensure that only the safest method of permanently removing lead hazards are used. Lead abatement is the process of removing, enclosing, or sealing lead-based paint with special materials to "abate" the hazards that contact with lead and lead-based paint presents. Lead abatement products protect homeowners from lead exposure and help to keep your family safe from the dangers far into the future.

Lead Abatement & Encapsulation

Nanotech Energy Solutions, Inc. offers lead encapsulating coatings that will protect the whole family from the dangers of lead paint. Encapsulation refers to the technique that involves the application of a coating (liquid) that forms a watertight barrier over the lead paint once it dries. It is effective and cost efficient. Although encapsulation is a simple process, it is still best to look for a supplier that is knowledgeable about lead encapsulation and using lead abatement products.

Lead Abatement and Thermal Coating

Nansulate Energy Saving Industrial and Residential Coatings can be used for effective lead encapsulation as well as efficient home insulation. Nansulate LDX, one of the company's superior quality lead abatement products, is environmentally friendly and has been proven to be truly effective. It was assessed on solid lead blocks during an in-house laboratory testing. The data showed that it did not allow the toxic element to seep through the barrier the coating presented.

A gallon of Nansulate LDX covers around a 225 to 262 square feet area. Homeowners should apply at least two coats for effective and thorough lead encapsulation.

Many of our lead abatement products also serve as home insulation which helps homeowners become more energy efficient and save money.
