Avoid contractors demanding upwards of eight times the cost in hazardous disposal fees on your tower! Ecobondlbp.com used nationwide to seal and treat lead is used to render lead waste non hazardous for disposal in addition to being used as a leave on application to seal and treat existing painted on lead. Contact me and let me tell you how.
Lead non hazardous? It’s now possible to render lead paint non hazardous for disposal and or treat existing lead paint applications by lowering the bio-availability upon application. Save upwards of eight times the cost in hazardous disposal fees not only on lead paint waste, yet those components painted over with lead. Steel, drywall, trim, fascia, stucco, wood. These substrates can now be safely sealed, treated and disposed of. Alternative practices now exist not only to render the lead waste as non hazardous yet on those applications where lead paint is left on the substrate, why not seal, treat and suppress those applications and lead paint dust particulates during any renovation?
ECOBOND®LBP is used as a leave on specialty paint application to seal and treat lead in addition for removal practices both treating and sealing on the substrate prior to disposal. Used on numerous projects nationwide, ECOBOND®LBP using EPA test methods not only treats and seals lead but is responsible for reducing the bio-availability, leaching, and suppressing the harmful lead dust particulates during RRP by up to 99% (EPA method 1311). In addition, due to the ECOBOND®LBP patented natural phosphate reagent reduces the bio-availability by up to 75% (EPA 9200.1-86 non-fasting pH 2.2). This not only assists in Lead Safe Practice Rules, but RCRA and Air Quality Sample Compliance readings as well, thus potentially saving thousands in hazardous disposal fees.
