Sealing (encapsulation) asbestos during the repair process involves treating the material with sealants that either bind the asbestos fibers together or coat the material so that the fibers are not released. Pipe, furnace, and boiler insulation can sometimes be repaired this way. This should be done only by a professional trained to handle asbestos safely.
