The Single Coat, Fast Cure, Ultra High Solids Advantage
The Enviroline® Series of single coat, thick- film products provide many advantages over thin-film coatings: Fast Application Thin-film coatings require several coats to achieve a specified thickness of even 20 mils DFT. Enviroline thick-film coatings and linings are designed to be applied in a single coat at a thickness ranging from 20 to 180 mils DFT, thereby decreasing labor cost and increasing the speed with which the area is returned to service. No Inter-Coat Adhesion Problems Multiple coats increase the risk of intercoat adhesion problems thereby making application more difficult. Two coat systems may fail due to blistering, delamination and missing the re-coat window. Multiple coats also increase application and cure time, creating a more costly overall application. This can be avoided with Enviroline's single coat application. Ultra-Low VOC's Enviroline coatings and linings have little or no VOC's, making these coatings less hazardous to apply and helping the owner to meet environmental regulations. Fast Cure Enviroline coatings and linings cure within hours rather than days. Fast cure coatings are even available for low temperature applications. (see individual data sheet for cure schedule and conditions). This fast cure advantage substantially reduces the costs associated with a tank, pipe or containment area being out of service. Impact and Abrasion Resistance Enviroline coatings and linings offer superior impact and abrasion resistance compared with thin-film coatings. This is important to the longevity of the coated area. Chemical Resistance Enviroline coatings and linings offer excellent chemical resistance for continuous immersion in the harsh environments commonly found in the Water & Wastewater industry, including hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid, chlorine and hydrochloric acid. Saves Money Enviroline coatings and linings will reduce the overall cost of a job, from labor costs to the costs associated with the tank, vessel or pipe being out of service. Enviroline coatings and linings will also save the owner money over the long-term with its higher quality coated surface. Longevity Enviroline's quality thick-film coatings and linings will lengthen the life of the tank as evidenced by 50+ years of proven history.

Coating & Lining Job Highlights
Enviroline® 230 NSF/ANSI Certified Potable Water Lining - City of Miramar The Utilities Department for the City of Miramar, Florida had many requirements in restoring its Water Precipitator. What they chose to meet those requirements was Enviroline® 230 NSF/ANSI Certified Potable Water Lining. This concrete tank with steel substructures is used to separate suspended particles from water as part of the City's water treatment. The particles, or floc, fall to the bottom of the tank and the water is then removed and further treated. Over the years, the concrete and steel had corroded significantly due to chemicals and weathering as well as the constant abrasion and impact of the moving particles in the solution. State regulations required the City to use an NSF/ANSI Standard 61 approved product in the tank. The City also needed a coating that could provide chemical, abrasion and impact resistance to withstand the corrosive effects of the treatment process. Additionally, they wanted to use one product for both the steel and concrete to reduce overall application cost and time, and eliminate finger-pointing between multiple products or manufacturers should a problem occur. Click Here To View Full Case Study Enviroline® 222 Moisture Tolerant Lining - City of Denham Springs Like Florida, Louisiana is also feeling the squeeze on their budgets from an aging infrastructure. Though not experiencing the same surge in new residents as in Florida, damage to wastewater utilities from Hurricane Katrina has brought unique challenges to city officials. In 2005 the American Society of Civil Engineers estimated that Louisiana has $2.37 billion in wastewater infrastructure needs. A 2006 report prepared for the Water Environment Federation by Black & Veatch Corporation estimates the total effect of Hurricane Katrina on wastewater utilities approaches $1.4 billion. Those municipalities not affected by Hurricane Katrina are more challenged than ever to obtain federal and state funding for their basic infrastructure repairs, thereby placing as much importance to overall cost as to the longevity of their upgrades. One such city, Denham Springs, Louisiana needed to rehabilitate 2 lift stations and 2 brick manholes. The manholes were built in the 1950s and suffered from decay. The city originally thought they needed to dig up and replace the manholes, a job that would be very costly for the city and a headache for residents. A coatings contractor already familiar with what high performance epoxy coatings can do explained to city officials that they did not need to replace the manholes, recommending instead that they use a single coat, fast cure high performance epoxy coating to rehabilitate their system. Repairing the manhole would cost the city less than half of what they would otherwise pay to replace the manhole. Click Here To View Full Case Study Enviroline® 222 Moisture Tolerant Lining - City of Coconut Creek The State of Florida, one of the fastest growing states in the nation, adding roughly 3 million new residents per decade or 800,000 new residents each day, is particularly challenged to fund the expansion of its wastewater systems to accommodate this growth while simultaneously upgrading its existing system. The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that Florida has $9.6 billion in wastewater infrastructure needs. The City of Coconut Creek, just west of Ft. Lauderdale, is one such city in need of repair. The city’s collection system consists of 147.2 miles of concrete gravity sewer, 94 lift stations, and 33.30 miles of force mains. After analyzing the infrastructure, the city chose the 6 manholes that had suffered the most from the affects of sulfuric acid to restore first. After analyzing all the costs, the city calculated it would need to spend $4,000 a day just to take a manhole or lift station out of service to repair it, plus the cost of the repair. Subsequently, the city was determined to find a solution that could provide a quick turnaround and protect the manholes from further corrosion for many years to come. After considering various epoxy and cementitious materials, The City of Coconut Creek chose a high performance epoxy coating to restore its manholes due to its single coat, fast cure application that would get their manholes back into service quickly. The city also appreciated the coating’s excellent resistance to sulfuric acid and its slick surface that is easier to clean and inspect. The contractor for the job first pressure cleaned the surface twice at 3500 psi using a soapy bleach and 180°F water, followed by sandblasting the surface. Next, cracks were repaired with a cementitious material. After grouting was completed, the manholes were quickly brush-blasted and followed with a light spray applied coat of a high performance epoxy concrete sealer. The high performance epoxy coating was then roller applied at about 30-40 mils and allowed to cure at ambient temperatures. The city saved one extra day of downtime for every manhole repaired by using a single coat high performance lining instead of a multi-coat system, ultimately providing at minimum a $24,000 cost savings. The City of Coconut Creek has since repaired several more manholes and lift stations with single coat, fast cure high performance epoxy coatings and linings.

Algae growth is typical in a wet, warm and sunny environment like a clarifier trough in Florida. However, the algae that was growing in the City of Miramar’s clarifier trough was excessive and persistent, creating a dangerously slick surface for workers and a maintenance problem for the City to clean. So, the city searched for a coating that would inhibit algae growth, be easier to clean, have NSF approval, and provide excellent chemical and abrasion resistance. What they found was Enviroline 230 NSF. Professional Tank Cleaning from Wilton Manors, Florida pressure washed and sandblasted the trough, then applied a thin coat of Enviroline 50 Moisture Resistant Coating to seal the concrete. Enviroline 230 NSF Potable Water Lining was then spray applied in a single coat to 30-40 mils. The job was completed within 24 hours of the initial cleaning. The City of Miramar has been extremely pleased with the job, and the smooth coating surface has been significantly easier to pressure wash clean. The City will be using Enviroline 230 NSF on several other projects, including a new clarifier to be constructed in 2009.
