‟Do More With Prep Less”
After wet-scraping the loose and flaking paint, PrepLESS Primer™ was applied to lock down the remaining paint layers and prepare the surfaces for the finish coat of LeadLock™ TopCoat
The Original PrepLESS Primer™ - Encapsulation Paint for Abatement Industry
PrepLESS Primer™ is unique in the coatings industry. PrepLESS Primer™ is easy to use. PrepLESS Primer™ means less prep, less mess, less dust. PrepLESS Primer™ was designed and engineered to meet the needs of the hazardous materials abatement industry. PrepLESS Primer™ in liquid form is a milky white color that when applied dries clear yet remains tacky to the touch. PrepLESS Primer™ is known as a bridging encapsulation paint primer for abatement of asbestos containing materials and lead based paint. PrepLESS Primer™ applied at low pressure minimizes the release of hazardous asbestos fibers and dust into the air during asbestos abatement procedures. PrepLESS Primer™ penetrates and softens deteriorating lead based paint and with PrepLESS Primer's tremendous adhesion properties can help to reattach loose and flaking paint back onto the substrate. PrepLESS Primer™ reduces or eliminates the generation of hazardous waste associated with hazardous materials abatement. PrepLESS Primer™ takes the place of most preparation practices associated with the application of paint and other paint primers. PrepLESS Primer™ is a key element in the design of GLOBAL Encasement, Inc.'s AsbestoSafe®/LeadLock™ Encasement Systems. PrepLESS Primer™ is a waterproof yet breathable coating with superior water vapor transmission and does not allow water to be trapped under the surface of the coating which is a common reason for coatings to crack and fail. With 4000% elongation PrepLESS Primer™ expands and contracts with substrate movement caused by the rise and fall in climate temperatures and seismic vibration. PrepLESS Primer™ contains no VOC's or ODS's making it a super-compliant architectural green coating.

= 7 mil DFT @ 102 sq. ft./gallon (9.47 sqm)
= 8 mil DFT @ 90 sq. ft./gallon (8.36 sqm)
= 9 mil DFT @ 80 sq. ft./gallon (7.43 sqm)
= 10 mil DFT @ 72 sq. ft./gallon (6.68 sqm)
= 11 mil DFT @ 65 sq. ft./gallon (6.03 sqm)
= 12 mil DFT @ 60 sq. ft./gallon (5.57 sqm)
Spray Application: Use self-cleaning reversible spray tip , size .017-.025 (.019 is most often used).
