What is Lead Paint Abatement?

Lead paint abatement is the process of abrasive blasting lead paint and encapsulating the lead particles rendering them non-hazardous. Blastox® has been used to successfully stabilize over 150,000,000 square feet of lead based paint. This success is owed to the One Step application of Blastox®. Since its available pre-blended with various media throughout North America, it is ready for application once the blended media reach your job-site for lead paint removal.

There is no mixing, metering or additional application steps needed at the job site when using this technology. Also, you will not incur additional labor costs that other lead paint abatement techniques require.
The spent abrasive waste can be tested via TCLP to classify the waste as non-hazardous once blasted.


It’s been approved by the Federal Highway Administration and as well as most state DOTs. Many industrial engineers specify it by name.

Blastox®, as well as other TDJ chemistries is a complex calcium silicate based product.


Blastox®, like other TDJ chemistries is a complex calcium silicate based product. It stabilizes heavy metals through multiple mechanisms:

1) pH adjustment

2) Chemical Reactions

3) Encapsulation

Blastox® stabilized waste complies not only with TCLP standards, but also with:

* MEP *SPLP *Fresh water leach tests

Benefits

  • One Step Application
  • Pre-blended with various media
  • Ready to use on site when delivered
  • After use, waste is tested via TCLP to classify as non-hazardous
  • Can dispose as non-hazardous

Landfills with heavy metals have been stabilize For decades using silicates. Blastox® also meets the definition of US EPA’s Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BDAT) for lead abatement wastes and lead paint abatement.

Product Description: Blastox® is a granular, complex calcium silicate-based blasting abrasive additive used for lead paint abatement during sand blasting applications.
