"Or Equal" Specifications
Fire Test: GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. products are Class A Fire Rated and have been tested in accordance with ASTM test method E-119 (3 hour test) and demonstrated that GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. materials do not adversely affect the fireproof rating of the fireproofing substrate. These tests were performed on PrepLESS Primer™ alone (10 mils), on AsbestoSafe®/Your Last Coat™ (formerly GE-40/41) alone (28 mils), and on a 24-mil composite system.
This material has passed ASTM E-108 Standard Test Method for Fire Tests of Roof Coverings (comparable to U.B.C. St’d 32-7) and meets the requirements for Class A.
Surface Burning Characteristics: GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. products have been tested in accordance with ASTM methods E-84 and E-162. PrepLESS Primer™ has been tested alone and with AsbestoSafe®/Your Last Coat™ (formerly GE-40/41) as a system. Both test results meet the performance criteria of zero flame spread index and a smoke development rating of less than 6, making the GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. products Class A material.
Underwriter’s Laboratories: GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. TopCoat products (AsbestoSafe®/Your Last Coat™/RoofCoat™/LeadLock™/Moldon't™) are Underwriters Laboratories® 790 Class "A" Rated, Listing #TGFU #R15397.
VOC (Volatile Organic Content): GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. products have been tested in accordance with EPA Method 24 and have a VOC of less than 0.001 pounds per gallon (less than 0.1 grams per liter), and are non-toxic. These tests were performed on PrepLESS Primer™ alone, and AsbestoSafe®/Your Last Coat™ (formerly GE-40/41) alone.
ASTM E-1795 – Standard specification for Non-Reinforced Liquid Coating Encapsulation Products for Leaded Paint in Buildings, Type III: Either Exterior or Interior Use: All products (LeadLock™, AsbestoSafe®/Your Last Coat™ (formerly GE-40/41).
Adhesion: GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. products have been tested in accordance with ASTM test method E-736. A system of 8 mils (dry) PrepLESS Primer™, plus 10 mils (dry) of AsbestoSafe®/Your Last Coat™/LeadLock™ (formerly GE-40/41) had an adhesion in excess of 9,950 lbs. per sq. ft. (69 lbs per sq. in.).
Impact resistance: GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. products have been tested in accordance with ASTM test method D-2794, and meet the performance criteria of no surface cracking of the materials at 150 pound inches. This test was measured on a system of 7 mils (dry) of PrepLESS Primer™ and 10 mils (dry) of AsbestoSafe®/Your Last Coat™ (formerly GE-40/41).
Flexibility: GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. products have been tested in accordance with ASTM test method D-522,A. No cracking of the materials was observed when tested on a 1/8” conical mandrel. This corresponds to greater than 59% elongation for the 17 mil system that was tested.
Strength: GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. products have been tested in accordance with ASTM test method D-412. The PrepLESS Primer™ material alone has an elongation of 4000%. The AsbestoSafe®/Your Last Coat™ material alone has an elongation of 300% and a tensile strength of 200 psi. Scrim reinforcement can be used to develop tensile strengths above 450 psi. Scrim reinforcements are applied after the primer coat has safely sealed the hazardous materials in place. Multi-layered GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. systems are a cost-effective method to add reinforcement strength to areas where high impact and extreme abuse is a concern, or when repairing damaged or delaminating asbestos.
Weatherability: GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. products have been tested in accordance with ASTM test method C-732 (1000 hour test) while not Yellowing, as tested by ASTM E313, nor Chalking, by ASTM D4214, and passed Blister Resistance, by ASTM D-714, and Rust Resistance, by ASTM D-610. All tests were performed on a 17 mil GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. system.
Moisture Vapor Transmission: A 17 mil GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. system was tested by ASTM test methods D1653, PERM=0.138, and E96, PERM=0.086.
A 7 mil LeadLock system was tested by ASTM test method D1653, PERM=1.4;
A 14 mil LeadLock system was tested by ASTM test method D1653, PERM=1.
These values show that the GLOBAL Encasement Inc. system is a breathing enclosure, and will allow water vapor to pass through the protective coating after encasement.
Lead Access Test: A 17 mil GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. system passed a lead access test, conducted as per H.E.L.P., Inc. Technical Document 100-93, modified to use a metal panel coated with 14% lead-based paint, encased with the 17 mil system, then weather tested for 1000 hours.
Warranty: GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. can warrant for a period of up to twenty (20) years from the date of purchase, that their abatement coating materials are free of any defects in manufacturing. Any defects discovered must be reported to GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. within the warranty period, and no later than 30 days following such discovery.
Safe to Use: GLOBAL Encasement, Inc. products are environmentally advanced, water based, 100% acrylic, non-toxic protective coating materials that contain no solvents or hazardous chemicals. Materials are non-flammable and non-hazardous. Cleanup is with soapy water. Immediately wipe surfaces not to be coated to prevent drying. No solvents are required for cleanup.
