Designation:E179603(Reapproved 2011)1Standard Guide forSelection and Use of Liquid Coating EncapsulationProducts for Leaded Paint in Buildings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1796;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.1NOTEEditorial corrections were made to Section 2 in April 2011.1.Scope1.1 This guide is intended to provide building users such asprivate building owners,contractors,architects,homeowners,and regulatory authorities with assistance in selecting anappropriate liquid coating encapsulation product for architec-tural residence and child-care facility use situations for abatingleaded paint.This guide also provides information that can beused to assist in the following:(1)determining whether apainted surface is suitable for encapsulation,(2)applying aliquid coating encapsulation product,(3)evaluating installedliquid coating encapsulation products,and(4)maintaining theencapsulated surface.1.2 This guide applies to any liquid-applied product thatrelies primarily on adhesion for attachment to the surface andis designed to reduce human exposure to lead in paint.1.3 This guide is not intended for use as a training manual.The information contained herein is not all-inclusive and doesnot provide comprehensive instructions for the selection,application,or maintenance of specific liquid coating encapsu-lation products.This guide is intended to supplement informa-tion supplied by encapsulation product manufacturers andsafety requirements established by law.The user of this guideshall refer to the encapsulation product manufacturers instruc-tions for encapsulation product application and maintenance.1.4 This guide does not cover minimum material perfor-mance requirements for liquid coating encapsulation products.Performance specifications for non-reinforced liquid coatingencapsulation products are provided in Specification E1795.Performance specifications for reinforced liquid coating encap-sulation products are provided in Specification E1797.1.5 Encapsulation products for use on industrial steel struc-tures are not covered in this guide.Industrial steel structuresinclude,but are not limited to,bridges,water towers,and tanks.1.6 Limited documentation is available on evaluating thefield performance of liquid coating encapsulation products.Aconservative approach to assessing the selection and use ofliquid coating encapsulation products is thus adopted in thisguide.As appropriate,the guidance provided within will berevised as additional knowledge regarding how these productsperform over time is gained.1.7 The user of this guide should follow all regulationspromulgated by authorities having jurisdiction regarding theuse of encapsulation products.1.8 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to inch-pound units that are provided for informa-tion only and are not considered standard.1.9 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,andApplicationsD1005 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 CoatingsD3359 Test Methods for Measuring Adhesion by Tape TestD4214 Test Methods for Evaluating the Degree of Chalkingof Exterior Paint FilmsD5064 Practice for Conducting a Patch Test to AssessCoating CompatibilityE1605 Terminology Relating to Lead in BuildingsE1795 Specification for Non-Reinforced Liquid Coating En-capsulation Products for Leaded Paint in Buildings1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 on Performanceof Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.23 on LeadHazards Associated with Buildings.Current edition approved April 1,2011.Published May 2011.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2003 as E1796 03.DOI:10.1520/E1796-03R11E01.2For 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 E1797 Specification for Reinforced Liquid Coating Encap-sulation Products for Leaded Paint in Buildings3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in this guide,refer to Terminologies D16 a
