Lead
Based Paint
MT2's
coating/conversion technology (ECOBOND®
LBP) is a low-cost and highly effective
coating and lead treatment applied in
a simple-to-use paint formula. The coating
actually chemically stabilizes and converts
the lead in Lead Based Paint (LBP), rather
than only encapsulating it on the original
media surface. This conversion process
results in the treated materials passing
stringent testing requirements such as
the EPA RCRA TCLP. Using the ECOBOND®
LBP coating results in non-hazardous end
products from a wide variety of applications,
including routine maintenance; facility
renovation; and building renovation, demolition,
and component removal.
Benefits
of ECOBOND® LBP
ECOBOND® LBP offers long-term environmental
protection while providing the most cost-effective
solution to LBP maintenance, removal,
and disposal issues:
•
Provides for long-term stability
of paint lead, limiting long-term
liability.
• Treated material may typically
be disposed of in a non-hazardous
landfill.
• ECOBOND® LBP is non-flammable
and inert to workers and the environment.
• ECOBOND® LBP retards
lead pathways to air, soil, groundwater,
surface water and workers.

Previous
ECOBOND® LBP Treatment Results
ECOBOND® LBP treatment significantly
reduces samples with high lead concentrations
to below the EPA RCRA standard. MT2's
technology benefit a number of agencies/clients
including the Department of Defense, Department
of Energy, Housing and Urban Development,
Department of Transportation, steel storage
tank farm operators, Brownfields developers,
and other commercial/industrial facilities.
Standard application of MT2's ECOBOND®
LBP technology involves a one- or two-pass
roller or spray application onto the contaminated
surface. The stabilization of lead, as
defined by RCRA TCLP testing, is immediate
upon surface contact and requires no chemical
curing or set-up time beyond standard
coating dry time. After application, LBP
contaminated materials stabilized can
typically be managed as nonhazardous material
during and after demolition.
By
stabilizing the contaminated materials
with MT2's ECOBOND® LBP stabilization
technology prior to characterization
as a hazardous material, handling
and disposal cost savings often
exceed $200 per ton.

ECOBOND® LBP offers significant cost
savings over standard abatement methods
while meeting stringent regulatory requirements.
•
Typically 50% less expensive than
traditional methods.
• Easy application with
conventional equipment such as
paint rollers, hand sprayers or
tankard trucks with spray bars
means cost savings over specialized
equipment.
• MT2's treatability laboratory
and field support services optimize
each ECOBOND LBP application to
project-specific parameters.

ECOBOND®
LBP Coating Available As Two Separate
Products
ECOBOND® LBP is available in 5-gallon
pails and 55-gallon containers in the
colors of basic white, beige and gray.
The two products are:
1. Primer/Pre-Demo
Interior and Exterior Coatings
– can be applied as a pre-demolition
coating on interior/exterior surfaces
intended for near term demolition, avoiding
the issues and costs associated with loose
and peeling paint and the potential generation
of hazardous LBP materials. Or, it can
be applied as a long-term preventative
maintenance coating, minimizing current
and future environmental lead contamination
issues and liability. Allows for application
of a client-selected final overcoat as
required.
2. Stripper
– applied as a stripper for LBP
surfaces resulting in LBP removal from
surface and produces a non-hazardous residue,
avoiding the issues and costs associated
with generating hazardous LBP materials.
