Content: Encapsulants cover lead paint so that the paint cannot produce dangerous dust, and humans cannot come into contact with it. Encapsulants work best on clean, dry and solid surfaces. Encapsulants cannot be used on the following: Surfaces that are walked on; Surfaces that rub together; Surfaces that are badly deteriorated. Are encapsulants all the same? There are three types of encapsulants: There are polymers (chemical compounds) that form a flexible, resilient membrane. They are applied with a brush, roller, or airless spray gun.
