Designation:E179712Standard Specification forReinforced Liquid Coating Encapsulation Products forLeaded Paint in Buildings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1797;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers minimum material perfor-mance requirements and laboratory test procedures for rein-forced liquid coating encapsulation products(single-ormultiple-coat systems)for leaded paint in buildings.Perfor-mance properties addressed in this specification are:1.1.1 Impact Resistance,1.1.2 Adhesion,1.1.3 Dry Abrasion Resistance,1.1.4 Water Vapor Transmission,1.1.5 Water and Chemical Resistance,1.1.6 Surface Burning Characteristics,1.1.7 Volatile Organic Compound(VOC)Content,1.1.8 Weathering,1.1.9 Aging,1.1.10 Scrub Resistance,1.1.11 Mildew Resistance,1.1.12 Paintability/Repairability,1.2 This specification does not address the selection of anencapsulation product for specific use conditions.Specific useconditions may require performance values other than thosestated in this specification.See Guide E1796 for guidance.1.3 This specification complements Specification E1795 fornon-reinforced liquid coating encapsulation products.1.4 This specification does not cover the use of encapsula-tion products on industrial steel structures nor residentialexterior coated metal surfaces because no corrosion controlrequirements are included.1.5 This specification applies to any liquid-applied productincorporating reinforcement materials as part of the system.Reinforcement materials are continuous fabric or mesh and areapplied in the field.These materials are typically appliedbetween a base and top coat.These products are used toencapsulate a leaded paint surface with the intent of reducinghuman exposure to lead in paint.1.6 The results of the test methods included in this specifi-cation will not necessarily predict field performance.1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D16 Terminology for Paint,Related Coatings,Materials,andApplicationsD823 Practices for Producing Films of Uniform Thicknessof Paint,Varnish,and Related Products on Test PanelsD1005 Test Method for Measurement of Dry-Film Thick-ness of Organic Coatings Using MicrometersD1212 Test Methods for Measurement of Wet Film Thick-ness of Organic CoatingsD1308 Test Method for Effect of Household Chemicals onClear and Pigmented Organic FinishesD1475 Test Method For Density of Liquid Coatings,Inks,and Related ProductsD1653 Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission of Or-ganic Coating FilmsD2486 Test Methods for Scrub Resistance of Wall PaintsD2794 Test Method for Resistance of Organic Coatings tothe Effects of Rapid Deformation(Impact)D3273 Test Method for Resistance to Growth of Mold on theSurface of Interior Coatings in an Environmental Cham-berD3274 Test Method for Evaluating Degree of Surface Dis-figurement of Paint Films by Fungal or Algal Growth,orSoil and Dirt AccumulationD3359 Test Methods for Measuring Adhesion by Tape Test1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 onPerformance of Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.23on Lead Hazards Associated with Buildings.Current edition approved July 15,2012.Published August 2012.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2004 as E1797 04.DOI:10.1520/E1797-12.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 D3924 Specification for Environment for Conditioning andTesting Paint,Varnish,Lacquer,and Related MaterialsD3925 Practice for Sampling Liquid Paints and RelatedPigmented CoatingsD3960 Practice for Determining Volatile Organic Compound(VOC)Content of Paints and Related CoatingsD3891 Practice for Preparation of Glass Panels for TestingPaint,Varnish,Lacquer,and Related ProductsD4060 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of OrganicCoatings by the Taber AbraserD4214 Test Methods for Evaluating the Degree of Chalkingof Exterior Paint FilmsD4414 Practice for Measurement of Wet Film Thickness byNotch GagesD4541 Test Method for Pull-Off Strength of Coatings UsingPortable Adhesion
