Can Asbestos be Maintained?

Certain types of asbestos containing materials can be maintained in place by treating the material with purpose made asbestos encapsulated coating, similar to a latex paint, which is effective for approximately five years if undamaged, after which a further coating may be applied. Note that asbestos containing materials in this state should be inspected at regular intervals for damage in accordance with current Health and Safety Regulations.
