Asbestos treatments

Asbestos treatments

Here you are method statements related to asbestos treatments

Asbestos in the past was widely used in building industry, in particular in the manufacture of fiber cement materials.

Progressive ageing or mechanical stresses can cause release and dispersion in the surrounding air of dust, which can cause many diseases (asbestosis, cancer etc.). The danger of asbestos depends on the freedom degree of the fibers, ie, the ability of the materials to release fibers potentially inhalable. The presence of asbestos itself, in fact, is not necessarily dangerous unless the fibers are released in the air due different kind of stress (handling/processing, vibration, air currents, moisture infiltration, etc.).

The italian MD 20.08.99 regulated the issue, fixing the properties needed for any kind of rehabilitation work.

Please find a list of method statements available:

► Encapsulation without removal
► Removal

Encapsulation without removal

The installation of the products will be carried out with suitable equipment, by qualified personnel. Clean the substarte to remove dust, grease, old paints. Apply the two-component primer Kimicover FIX to compact the asbestos. After 6-36 hours, apply by airless pump, brush or roller the acrilic resin Kimicover BLINDO. Depending on the exposure of the surface (outdoor or indoor) the encapsulation resin will be applied in one or two coats (in this case, second coat will have a different color from the first one).

Encapsulation without removal

Removal

To encapsulate asbestos cement elements in order to eliminate the dispersion in the air of fibres during removal treatments, apply  by airless pump the encapsulating resin Kimicover K80.
