FULFILLS YOUR SAFETY NEEDS Many wetting agents and surfactants have been mixed in water and introduced with promises of control of asbestos fiber counts during asbestos removal and of future safety for post -abatement building occupants. However. there remains a potentially hazardous gap between those promises and actual performance. Here's what you should know about asbestos removal products. Until recently, the only products used to remove asbestos materials were merely wetting agents. These wetting agents and surfactants, mixed with water, fon "AMENDED WATER". The use of amended water merely increased the wetting capability of the water in an effort to reduce the release of asbestos fibers into the air. This process offers no real protection other than temporarily wetting the asbestos. It may not generate acceptable exposure levels and does nothing to alter the state of friability of the asbestos fibers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated that the use of amended water in asbestos removal has resulted in average airborne asbestos fiber levels far in excess of the current permissible exposure level (PEL) of 0.2f/cc."AMENDED WATER" is not the answer to asbestos removal) NOT P(REMOVE ELIMINATES THE HAZARDS OF ASBESTOS REMOVAL AND CREATES A BETTER WORKING ENVIRONMENT! Recently, a new technology has been introduced that encapsulates asbestos fibers during removal. This technology significantly reduces airborne asbestos fiber counts far below the permissible exposure levels established by OSHA and the EPA during removal and creates a less hazardous environment for the asbestos abatement worker. This technological advancement also creates a safer environment for the post -abatement building occupant, because any residual material will be encapsulated and less harmful. Asbestos that has been removed with "Amended Water" will, when dry, revert to a more friable and extremely hazardous state, often worse than before removal. Introducing OWE 5000 (patent p"din®) OWE 5000 Is the state-of-the-art to asbestos removal. SAE= is a ready -to -use (no mixing is necessary) asbestos encapsulant remover that penetrates asbestos -containing materials up to five inches. QW -E= significantly reduces asbestos fiber release during and after removal. QQQ thoroughly penetrates, dissolves the adhesives and binders of the existing matrix, encapsulates the fibers and allows the asbestos to be easily removed. IA
