Nansulate® Tip of the Day - Easy Lead Abatement with Nansulate® LDX

Are you aware that lead-based paint is a serious health risk in older homes and buildings, especially ones that have been built before 1978 when lead based paint was used? Are you also aware that there is a patented technology for encapsulation of lead based paint? Nansulate® LDX can provide a safe and cost efficient alternative to expensive remediation and removal of lead-based paints. If the paint is adhering well to the surface, then you can encapsulate the lead-based paint with Nansulate® LDX - and provide a clear layer of protection.
