Services
Corrosion Protection Coatings
Our corrosion protection coatings deliver long-term asset defense through advanced epoxy, polyurethane, and zinc-rich formulations. Designed for harsh industrial environments, these coatings prevent degradation in steel structures, pipelines, and marine infrastructure. Backed by 75 years of field data and compliance with ISO 12944 standards, our solutions combine surface-tolerant application with extended service life.
Fireproofing Solutions
We provide cementitious and intumescent fireproofing systems that protect structural steel in commercial and industrial facilities. Our Pyroclad and Firefilm product lines meet ASTM E119 requirements while offering customizable application methods. These systems maintain structural integrity during fire events, providing critical evacuation time and asset protection.
Concrete Repair Systems
Carbocrete polymer-modified mortars restore deteriorated concrete structures in wastewater, transportation, and industrial settings. These rapid-cure systems bond to damp surfaces and resist chemical exposure. Our solutions address spalling, abrasion, and corrosion damage while extending service life with minimal downtime.
Pipeline Coatings
Our SPC and Carbowrap pipeline coatings protect above-ground and buried infrastructure from corrosion and mechanical damage. These systems include fusion-bonded epoxies, coal tar enamels, and petrolatum wraps that meet NACE standards. We provide coating recommendations based on soil conditions, operating temperatures, and regulatory requirements.
Potable Water Linings
Hydroplate and Plasite linings ensure safe water storage compliance with ANSI/NSF 61 standards. These inert coatings prevent contamination in steel and concrete reservoirs while resisting cyclical loading and temperature changes. Our solutions support AWWA D102-24 requirements for long-term potable water infrastructure protection.
