Painting over lead paint is known as “encapsulation,” and it's frequently used as an effective remediation technique. In fact, it's less expensive and safer than lead paint removal, since it doesn't disturb the existing paint and doesn't tend to release lead dust or toxic particles into the air.Nov 1, 2020

Does lead Defender work?
Currently, there is no known product to eliminate the total lead-count on any substrate without complete removal. However, ECOBOND® - LEAD DEFENDER® seals and treats lead and lead paint dust by up to 99% while at the same time, reduces lead hazards by up to 95%!
What paint to use to cover lead paint?
DO Use an Encapsulant. Using encapsulants is the best and safest way to cover lead paint in order to prevent it from producing dangerous lead-containing dust. Encapsulants are thicker than regular paint primers and work to seal or “encapsulate” the lead paint behind a membrane.Nov 1, 2020
Is there a paint that covers lead paint?
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.
Can you safely cover lead-based paint?
Yes, you can paint over lead-based paint, but not with just any type of paint. Encapsulation is less expensive than lead paint removal and it's actually safer since it doesn't release lead dust or debris into the air. Keep in mind; conventional oil- or water-based paints are not encapsulants!
