The Challenge: The Museum’s Lead-Based Paint covered plaster walls were badly delaminated and the constant chipping and peeling paint challenged maintenance personnel. Officials were concerned that any work would adversely affect the fragile surfaces. They needed assurance that any methodology used to abate the problem was proven and offered a long-term warranty.

Benefits Desired:

• Class A Fire Rating
• Seal, Waterproof and Protect the Surfaces without Trapping Moisture
• Bridge Cracks
• Not Detract from Ornamentation and Detail
• A Color Match to Existing Historical Colors
• No Noticeable Odor or VOCs
• Easy to Apply

Results: GLOBAL Encasement’s award winning products met and exceeded all of their requirements and a System was designed that included PrepLESS Primer™, 100% Acrylic Caulk to fill voids and cracks and LeadLock™ Topcoat.
