The U.S. Department of Defense used lead based paint on its buildings until the late 1970's. Thus, millions of buildings present a potential environmental lead hazard liability. Historically, there have been few economical and environmentally compliant choices for managing lead hazards from abandoned buildings or buildings scheduled for demolition and disposal.
Any painted structure built before 1978 very likely contains lead based paint; the older the structure the more likely there are multiple layers of lead paint thus containing higher concentrations of lead. Even if the structure has been repainted, covering up lead paint does not remove the lead hazard. ECOBOND® LBP provides cost-effective solutions for typical commercial, industrial and residential lead paint projects such as:
- Lead Paint Renovation (buildings, structures, tanks, etc.)
- Lead Paint Removal (peeling and chipping lead paint)
- Lead Paint Demolition (bridges, buildings, siding, windows, doors, etc.)
