Asbestos Abatement

Cleaning/ degreasing application.

Asbestos abatement. Removal of tile asbestos from floors.

Current problem.

Many dangerous chlorinated solvents are being used for this application. Most are ozone depleters (TCA) and carcinogenic (methylene chloride). Solvent vapor fumes from these chlorinated products can pose a serious health risk to employees. TCA contains known carcinogens. It is listed on the SARA Title III, Section 313 toxic chemicals list. Regulatory administrative expense for TCA and chlorinated solvents is very high.

BioChem solution.

Bio T Max is ideal for removing tile asbestos from floors. It can dissolve mastic underneath the tile in a very short period of time. Using Bio T Max simplifies the abatement process and also provides a much safer atmosphere for employees. Bio T Max eliminates dangerous asbestos dust created by jack hammers.

Bio T Max is much more user-friendly than dangerous chlorinated solvents. It is 100 percent biodegradable and will not harm the environment. It is also
completely non-toxic and non-corrosive.
Bio T Max dramatically reduces cleanup time. It is completely water soluble which makes it a snap to rinse off concrete and tools. It has a low evaporation rate which means a little bit goes a long way.

To effectively remove asbestos tiles from the floor, follow the procedure below:

Flood a 10’ x 10’ area with full strength Bio T Max.
Allow to stand on the surface for about one hour.
When tile begins to warp, remove and dispose of properly.
Scrape soft mastic from floor once tile has been removed.
Completely rinse floor with water or a wet mop.
Bio T Max must be completely rinsed prior to refinishing the floor. Any residue or unrinsed product will dissolve the new adhesive and interfere with adhesion.

Bio T Max must not be left on the surface for greater than two hours. One gallon of Bio T Max will cover between 50 to 100 square feet depending on mastic thickness. Dispose of all asbestos and contaminated materials in accordance with all local regulations.
