BTN Exterior Encap
SURFACES: BTN "Exterior Encapsulant" is for exterior surfaces. It is not recommended for certain high contact friction areas such as doors at door contact points, window sash liners or floors.
USER GUIDELINES: Be sure to follow all appropriate guidelines in effect (such as OSHA, NIOSH, EPA, and all other applicable Federal and State Laws and Regulations).
INSTRUCTIONS: Do not thin or apply below 45 ºF.
A. Surface Preparation:
1. An inspection and adhesion test is recommended to determine if the existing paint is stable and well adhered. - See X-Cut Adhesion Test -
2. Apply to a clean, dry, sound and intact surface.
3. Remove all blistered, peeling, flaking and loose paint with a stiff putty knife and water.
4. Clean and remove grease, wax, mildew, oil, smoke residues and other contaminants by washing with a cleaner and rinsing with clean water.
5. Repair irregularities with an appropriate patching or joint compound. Prime patches.
6. Glossy or highly glossy surfaces must be deglossed with a deglosser.
7. Prime bare metal with a quality metal primer. Prime water stained or other discolored areas with the appropriate stain blocking primer.
8. We recommend the use of Back to Nature "Lead Clean" for use at steps 4 and 6.
CAUTION: Some preparation procedures such as sanding or scraping may create toxic dust and/or Hazardous waste. Inhalation (breathing) or ingestion (eating) of lead may cause death or serious illness. Wear protective clothing and OSHA approvedrespirator during these procedures. Cover floor or Ground with disposable materials. Extreme caution should be used to prevent lead chips and dust from entering the environment. Dispose of all waste materials in accordance with all existing Local, State, and Federal Requirements.
B. Application:
1. When finished, BTN Exterior Encapsulant is applied at a min. thickness of 8 mils dry resulting in coverage of approx.110 sq. ft. per gallon.
i) We recommended that the final thickness be accomplished by putting on two applications.
a. Apply first coat of encapsulant to the surface at a minimum thickness of 7-7.5 mils wet or 4 mils dry (approx. 220 sq. ft. per gal per coat).
b. The product dries to the touch in 2 - 4 hours, and can be recoated in 4 - 12 hours.
c. Apply the second coat to the surface at a minimum thickness of 7-7.5 mils wet or 4 mils dry.
2. Back to Nature Exterior Encapsulant can be rolled, brushed, or sprayed onto the surface.
a. Rolled or Brushed - Use short or medium nap roller on smooth surfaces and longer nap on rough or textured surfaces. Use a professional quality
nylon or polyester brush of appropriate size.
b. Airless Spray - Use at least a 1 GPM piston sprayer with rev. tip .023 -.029, 3/8" hose. Use airless or mastic spray gun. BTN Exterior may be spray applied in one coat, however for best results, we recommend 2 coats.
3. Clean equipment promptly after use with soap and water.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Safety goggles are recommended for eye protection. Wear neoprene gloves to minimize skin contact. Maintain adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use only with adequate ventilation. Open windows and doors and use other means to ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headache, or dizziness, increase fresh air or wear respiratory protection. NIOSH/MSHA TC23C or equivalent or leave the area. Avoid contact with eyes or skin. Close container after each use. First Aid: In case of eye contact, flush immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention; for skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE: BTN Exterior Encapsulant cannot prevent exposure to the encapsulated lead-based paint if surface film is damaged , broken or abraded. Routine inspections for holes, cracks, dents, bubbles, peeling or any other defect, including water damage is important to maintain maximum efficiency of this coating. Damaged surfaces should be repaired and re-encapsulated immediately to prevent exposure to the lead hazard.
