Corrosion Protection
Our SewerGard polymer linings provide complete corrosion protection for wastewater infrastructure. Formulated to resist sulfuric acid and hydrogen sulfide gas, these systems protect manholes, wet wells, and treatment tanks. With seven municipal and three industrial formulations, we offer tailored solutions for both new construction and rehabilitation projects. Our systems combine chemical resistance with mechanical durability for long-term asset protection.
Ceramic Compounds
Engineered ceramic cements withstand continuous service up to 3000F while maintaining dielectric strengths exceeding 100 volts/mil. These inorganic compounds provide electrical insulation and thermal conductivity for thermocouples, resistors, and high-temperature filters. Available in air-setting, chemical-setting, and hydraulic-setting formulations, our ceramics meet demanding aerospace, energy, and industrial applications requiring dimensional stability under extreme conditions.
Polymer Concrete
Our polymer concrete systems combine chemical resistance with structural strength for containment areas and industrial flooring. Epoxy and vinyl ester formulations resist acids, solvents, and alkalis across the pH spectrum. These castable materials offer rapid installation with mechanical properties exceeding traditional concrete, making them ideal for sumps, dikes, and trench systems requiring both durability and corrosion protection in aggressive environments.
Substrate Repair
We provide complete substrate preparation and repair solutions for deteriorated concrete structures. Our F-121 Substrate Resurfacer restores damaged surfaces through spray application while maintaining chemical resistance. For deep repairs, hydraulic-setting compounds rebuild structural integrity before protective linings are applied. These systems enable full rehabilitation of wastewater infrastructure while maintaining service continuity during application.
Industrial Linings
Our 100% solids epoxy linings create impermeable barriers against chemical attack in industrial environments. Available in sprayable, trowelable, and fast-set formulations, these systems protect clarifiers, digesters, and process tanks from microbiologically induced corrosion. With thickness options from 60 to 250 mils, our linings combine abrasion resistance with moisture tolerance for long-term performance in challenging service conditions.
