Epoxy coatings give sewer infrastructure a robust defense against corrosion and structural degradation. These advanced materials combine ease of application with high-performance properties, making them suitable for protecting both new and aging structures. Designed to withstand harsh conditions, such as hydrogen sulfide exposure, these epoxies form impermeable bonds with concrete and metal surfaces, ensuring long-term durability and cost-effective maintenance. Their versatility allows for application in various environments, from manholes and pump stations to treatment plants, enhancing the longevity and reliability of critical wastewater systems. Check out some product options below.
Epoxytec Mortartec Cladliner
Mortartec Cladliner from Epoxytec is a practical and economical approach to sanitary sewer manhole and other wastewater infrastructure lining by providing ease of application while delivering performance with savings. It is an engineered standalone hybrid epoxy-cement liner combining the simplicity of a cementitious lining with the performance of a high-build epoxy. It offers acid resistance to protect from corrosion derived from mild-to-moderate hydrogen sulfide conditions up to 100 ppm. It is well suited for the protective lining of new structures and the rehabilitation of aging structures, particularly brick or concrete sanitary sewer infrastructure. 877-463-7699; www.epoxytec.com
Infrastructure Repair Systems Infragard
Infragard concrete and manhole rehabilitation products from Infrastructure Repair Systems include Top Coat and Chim-Coat, which are nonhazardous ambient-cure epoxy systems for a small patch, entire manhole or retaining wall. This cost-effective solution requires no expensive equipment as it has an easy trowel-on application. They are corrosion-resistant and high strength with an impermeable structural bond to the substrate or to almost any concrete or metal surface. Chim-Coat is engineered with a flexible feature that maintains adhesion while expanding or contracting with changing temperatures and traffic loads. 877-327-4216; www.irsi.net
Source One Environmental Quadex Structure Guard
Quadex Structure Guard, distributed by Source One Environmental, is a high-build epoxy coating formulated to provide long-term corrosion protection and structural enhancement for manholes, pump stations, treatment plants or any wastewater infrastructure subject to high levels of corrosion and/or abrasion in both municipal and industrial applications. It is also suitable for invert repairs. It can be trowel- and/or spray-applied, and is a 100% solids material with no VOCs and a fast set time. 877-450-3701; www.s1eonline.com
