Sentinel 840 Surfactant Wetting Agent
Sentinel 840 Surfactant Wetting Agent is a high-performance, water-based wetting agent specifically designed for use in the safe removal of asbestos-containing materials (ACM). By saturating asbestos fibers and lowering surface tension, Sentinel 840 effectively reduces the release of harmful fibers and dust during the abatement process, ensuring a safer working environment. Its advanced formulation provides rapid penetration, allowing the solution to thoroughly soak into materials, making removal more efficient and controlled.
Price: $49.95 / 5 Gallon
This ready-to-use product can be easily applied with most standard spray equipment, providing convenience for abatement professionals. Sentinel Surfactant Wetting Agent 840 is ideal for use prior to asbestos abatement, delivering excellent performance in fiber containment and dust suppression.
Demolition of Structures Containing Asbestos Materials
Why is it important to be concerned about asbestos during the demolition of structures?
Most products manufactured today do not contain asbestos. However, older buildings/structures may still contain asbestos materials. If these asbestos-containing materials are not properly handled or removed, they can release extremely fine asbestos fibers that can float in the air for a long time. In such a situation, you, your family, and your neighbors could inhale these asbestos fibers, which can accumulate in the body for many years, posing a health risk.
Where in structures might asbestos be present?
The most common asbestos-containing building materials are typically found in roofing tiles, eaves, and structures such as sheds or platforms. It is difficult for the average person to identify asbestos-containing materials based solely on appearance or color. Unless a registered asbestos testing lab confirms that a material does not contain asbestos, it is safest to treat all suspicious materials as if they contain asbestos and handle them accordingly.
Under what circumstances does asbestos become a problem?
Asbestos cement roofing tiles that are undisturbed generally do not pose a health risk. However, when these tiles are broken or improperly removed, asbestos fibers can be released. Inhaling asbestos fibers can be harmful to health.
Precautions When Removing Asbestos Cement Roof Tiles
When removing asbestos cement roof tiles, workers will take steps to prevent asbestos fibers from being released. This will minimize the associated risks. They will isolate the work area. Decontamination facilities will be provided. Workers will avoid breaking the asbestos tiles as much as possible. Tiles will be thoroughly sprayed with a wetting agent like Sentinel 840 Surfactant during removal. A designated supervisor will continuously monitor the project. Workers will wear protective clothing and respiratory equipment. Air monitoring will be conducted around the worksite to ensure safety.
If the asbestos cement roof tiles to be removed are covered with a layer of cement, the tiles should be carefully separated into manageable pieces for easy handling, packaging, and disposal. One method is to first chisel along the joints or a convenient boundary of the asbestos cement tiles, removing the cement layer, and then separate the asbestos tiles that are still covered with cement along the boundary where the cement layer was removed. All cement debris produced should be immediately cleaned up and placed in bags, which will then be disposed of as asbestos waste.
