Safety Route

Before coating asbestos

Do not sand, abrade or mechanically disturb asbestos-containing materials. The surface must be assessed and prepared using approved asbestos-safe methods before any coating is applied.

Step 1: Assess

Confirm the asbestos is suitable for encapsulation

Only sound, rigid and stable asbestos-containing materials should be considered for encapsulation.

  • Check condition before coating
  • Avoid friable or damaged asbestos
  • Seek professional guidance where unsure
→
Step 2: Coat Safely

Apply without disturbing the surface

Use safe cleaning, suitable PPE and correct coating methods to avoid releasing fibres.

  • No dry sanding
  • No mechanical abrasion
  • Follow asbestos-safe procedures
Important: If the asbestos is loose, damaged, friable or in poor condition, stop and seek advice from a qualified asbestos professional before proceeding.

Need advice before encapsulating asbestos?

Asbestos coating should only be carried out where the material is suitable for encapsulation. Ask Thermoguard before ordering if you are unsure which coating system applies.
