22-P is used most extensively as a lock-down encapsulant. Following removal, 22-P is misted throughout the work area, including the plastic barriers and debris, to lock down any potential residual fibers and to provide a final measure of protection. 22-P saves more than 30% in material and labor costs over competitive encapsulants. 22-P's unique formula provides superior adhesion to virtually all surfaces, resulting in much faster applications, greater coverage per gallon and far less waste. During the lock-down process, 22-P's high solids content allows for misting it either full strength or diluting it with up to 3 parts water.

As a full strength encapsulant, 22-P penetrates into the affected matrix, coats and binds treated fibers in place, and forms a hard, durable surface. Treated fibers are locked within the substrate preventing them from becoming airborne. 22-P's exclusive polymer imparts an elastic-like resilience to the treated matrix that significantly reduces the original state of friability. Surfaces treated with 22-P are impact resistant and much less susceptible to damage than in their original condition.
