In a recent industrial lead abatement project, ECOBOND® technology provided highly cost-effective lead treatment
The project, a typical industrial indoor firing range lead hazard project, included both lead dust and lead contamination in paint and building materials. Pre-treatment sampling confirmed lead levels up to 100,000 parts per million. Major concerns for this project included worker safety and protection; prevention of lead dust contamination to other building areas and the environment; and effective treatment of lead dust and lead contamination for low cost, environmentally protective waste disposal. ECOBOND® was used to seal lead dust to protect workers and the environment; and to prevent the generation of airborne lead and treat building materials, ensuring that debris and waste was non-hazardous at a cost of less than 25¢ per square foot for the product and application.
Post-treatment sampling results indicated up to 92% reduction in lead dust; TCLP results for treated materials were substantially less than RCRA TCLP lead criteria of 5.0 mg/l demonstrating ECOBOND®’s ability to cost-effectively seal and treat lead paint hazards.

ECOBOND®
ECOBOND® is a high quality interior/exterior acrylic latex paint and multi-use lead paint remediation product that seals and treats lead dust and lead in lead paint as well as peeling and chipping lead paint. ECOBOND® is far superior to regular latex paint, sealants or paint strippers for sealing and treating lead hazards. >Learn More
ECOBOND® for Soil Treatment
ECOBOND® is the proprietary and patented family of treatment technologies proven to reduce human health and environmental hazards due to leaching of lead in the environment. This technology dramatically reduces disposal costs of lead and metals contaminated soils and other materials or allows treated soils to remain on-site, meeting groundwater protection standards. The robust nature of the ECOBOND® technology allows MT2 the ability to guarantee treatment results >Learn More
