Encapsulation definition

Encapsulation means the application of an encapsulant.
Encapsulation means the treatment of asbestos-containing material (ACM) with a material that surrounds or embeds asbestos fibers in an adhesive matrix to prevent the release of fibers, as the encapsulant creates a membrane over the surface (bridging encapsulant) or penetrates the material and binds its components together (penetrating encapsulant).
Encapsulation means the coating and sealing of surfaces with durable surface coating specifically formulated to be elastic, able to withstand sharp and blunt impacts, long-lasting, and resilient, while also resistant to cracking, peeling, algae, fungus, and ultraviolet light, so as to prevent any part of lead-containing paint from becoming part of house dust or otherwise accessible to children.

Encapsulation means the coating of ACM with a bonding or sealing agent to prevent the release of airborne fibers.
Encapsulation means the application of an encap- sulant.
Encapsulation means the application of an encapsulant which covers, seals, or encapsulates a lead-based painted surface in a manner that is designed to reduce human exposure to lead.
Encapsulation means the process of creating a barrier between lead−based paint and the environment by the application of an encapsulant.
Encapsulation means the application of an
Encapsulation means the coating or spraying of ACM with an encapsulant in order to temporarily control the potential release of asbestos fibers from said material.
Encapsulation means any covering or coating that acts as a barrier between lead-based paint and the environment which relies for its durability on adhesion between the encapsulant and the existing painted surface, and on the integrity of the bonds between the paint layers with each other and with the substrate. Encapsulation may be used as an abatement method only if it is designed and warranted to be “permanent”.
