The new Hydroplate range of Carboline protects storage tanks, potable water pipes, valves and fittings from corrosion.
The coatings manufacturer Carboline
has launched the new Hydroplate linings range, a new high-performance product line specifically designed for the potable water and wastewater markets. The ultra-durable solution allows to protect assets against the damaging effects of corrosion during the construction of new tank and the maintenance and repair operations.
Hydroplate has been designed to coat various types of steel and concrete ground and elevated storage tanks, providing protection for potable water pipes, valves and fittings. The series includes single and multiple coat linings that offer high solids and near solvent-free options, with high-build capabilities, fast cure properties
and the ability for rapid return to service.
The range offers a variety of film thickness options, from thin film applications under five mils DFT to higher build solutions that exceed 30 mils in a single application. With varying advanced resin technologies, Hydroplate can also be cured down to 20° F (-6° C), as well recoated and overcoated quickly – thus extending the painting season and limiting costly project schedule delays.
“The Hydroplate line will continue to build on Carboline's 75-year mission to deliver innovative solutions for protecting and preserving our vital steel and concrete infrastructure assets. They offer varying film builds, real-world application benefits, and other service life-extending attributes,” has stated Jeremy Sukola, the water and wastewater market manager for Carboline.
The new solution developed by Carboline meets the most stringent requirements outlined in multiple AWWA standards and NSF/ANSI/CAN 61- NSF/ANSI/CAN 600. In addition, it emits lower overall Volatile Organic Compounds than many previous-generation linings.
“Hydroplate linings provide the robust chemical resistance required in the water and wastewater markets. These products are outstanding options for water storage and the harsh environments found in water treatment plants,” has concluded Paul Atzemis, the director of technical services of Carboline.
