Four simple steps to choosing the right anti-corrosive coating:
We believe the formula for a successful maintenance procedure is to
“KEEP IT SIMPLE” with that in mind.
- Identify the enemy and know its strength.
| To properly protect an item (concrete or metal) in a corrosive environment you need to know the type of corrosive agent you are dealing with and its dilution rate. |
| Is the surface also being damaged by abrasion wear or impact? |
|
| Is the surface eroded and in need of rebuilding as well as resurfacing? |
| |
- Establish the service level requirements.
Service levels are generally classified in four categories. |
| 1) Constant Immersion |
|
| 2) Intermittent Immersion |
|
| 3) Secondary Containment |
|
| 4) Splash and Spill |
|
- Determine the application environment and procedures.
 |
This can range from underwater application, wet or standing water, high humidity or completely dry.
|
| What kind of surface preparation is available? |
| How much time do you have to complete the project? |
| How worker and environmentally safe is the repair material? |
| What are the products application options? |
| |
- Understand the different repair material’s options.
From a practical prospective, epoxies and Moisture-Cured Urethanes are the coatings and repair materials of chose. Both have there strong applications and is some case a combination of the two is ideal.
The ability of a single product system to be effectively used on dry surfaces, underwater, or on saturated or dripping metal/concrete surfaces, while being both environmentally and user friendly, represents a technology that will greatly reduce matenance cost.
This enables engineers and maintenance professionals to have the versatility of a multi-functional system that may be applied over a wide range of applications on wet or dry surfaces, even underwater.
Eco-Coat Wet Dry Gel is a 100% solids, next generation, epoxy coating with excellent chemical and outstanding abrasion resistance. The abrasion resistance in enhanced with the use of KevlarTM microfibers, feldspar ceramic, and maximum resin rigidity. This epoxy is highly resistant to sewer gasses, sulfur based chemicals, dilute acids and most caustics. Suitable for full time immersion. Formulated with a high performance cycloaliphatic curing system. The Kevlar and ceramic also add body to the coating resulting in a one coat, high build glaze finish that will withstand severe abuse. Bonds to concrete (wet or dry), fiberglass, steel and wood surfaces.

Eco-Coat Wet Dry Paste is a paste version of Eco-Coat WD with Kevlar ®reinforced thickened epoxy for high build applications. Non-hazmat to ship and can be shipped worldwide.
Eco-polymer Quick Set is a 100% solids, next generation, non-hazmat epoxy coating system designed for repairing leaks, spalls and protection of concrete, wood and steel substrates subjected to constant immersion in water. It will bond to wet substrates and is especially well suited for direct application under water and is resistant to sewer gasses, sulfur based chemicals, dilute acids and most caustics. |

This versatility enables engineers and maintenance professionals to have the flexibility of a multi-functional system that may be applied over a wide range of applications. Wet or dry surfaces, even underwater. |
Moisture-Cured Urethanes: (MCU) Advantages:
|
| Single component: |
No catalyst mixing errors or pot life concerns. |
| Application: |
Can be applied in humidity up to 99%, in low temperatures- to below freezing, and subjected to rain, fog or condensate with end 30 minutes. |
| Durability: |
Superior performance and corrosion resistance with extended service life for protective coating and maintenance projects. |
| Recoat: |
Most MCUs have no outer recoat window on a clean surface. |
| Time: |
Reduced cure times of under 30 minute ! |
THE HIGH COST OF DOWN TIME
When the production of a facility is reduced or shut down for either a planed or emergency outage the costs for this down time can be astounding.
In situations like this, “time is truly money”.
The advantages of our proprietary formulations & technology allow cost savings to be realized through a large reduction in the time a system is out of service. Our materials can be applied in such a way that the system will be up and running again in just hours. By limiting downtime and by increasing the coating life cycle our products reduce the over all life cycle cost of the municipal system maintenance & up-keep.

The Novolac Epoxy Advantage:
Novolac technology is the cutting edge in epoxies.
Learn more...
- Enviromentally safe
(100% solds hybrid NOVOLAC systems, contains no solvents, no volatile or organic compounds)
- Superior Bonding
( Bonds both mechanically and chemically to concrete and metal in excess of 3000psi ASTM D 4541)
- Higher Chemical Resistance
(Due to its chemistry, this Novolac epoxy has very high chemical resistances, withstands up to 98% sulfuric acid )
- Higher Temperature
(High Temperature engineered versions are available for service temperatures exceeding 400 °F)
- Superior Abrasion Resistant
(ASTM D4060-9 testing for abrasion resistance that the incorportation of alumina oxide ceramic into the matrix provides excellent resistance to abrasion and improves chemical resitances)
- Reinforcing Kevlar™ Fibers
(The Addition of reinforcing Kevlar fibers, which are six times stronger than steel, to the epoxy matrix, tremendously increases the flexural and tensile strength by up to 5 to 6 time. This substantaially increases wear resistance and greatly reduces the possiblity fo damage from impact to crack or chip the epoxy.)
