   Water & Wastewater

 

LifeLast DuraShield urethanes have successfully lined and protected water and wastewater systems for over fifteen years.  The original water and wastewater applications employing LifeLast urethanes are still operating today and are performing very well.

 

Wastewater Treatment

 

DuraShield urethanes protect both industrial and municipal wastewater systems.  The very low permeability and excellent chemical resistance of DuraShield coatings allow them to hold up well in a wide variety of wastewater systems.  From food processing and pulp and paper to refineries and municipal systems, DuraShield urethanes provide proven, long-term protection in many types of wastewater equipment.

 

LifeLast DuraShield urethanes have a great combination of physical properties.  While they are generally hard and tough with very low permeabilities, they are also flexible, allowing them to handle expansion and contraction of the substrate, as well as impact and abrasion. This combination of properties renders them effective in a wide array of applications. They are especially effective in immersion applications like those present in the water and wastewater industry. Successful water and wastewater applications for LifeLast DuraShield coatings include:

DuraShield urethanes perform very well in water lining applications as well.  Whether used to line tanks or pipes - made of steel, ductile or concrete - LifeLast urethanes seal and protect the substrate, providing long term protection for both interior and exterior lining applications.  DuraShield urethanes are formulated to provide the optimal cure properties.  The staged polymerization of DuraShield urethanes ensures excellent adhesion, while at the same time providing the desired fast cure times and excellent physical properties.  Adhesion tests from a recent project - which employs LifeLast DuraShield 210 as both the interior and exterior lining - provided consistent adhesion values in excess of 2500 psi, with a majority of the pull-offs reading in excess of 3200 psi.  In addition, an evaluation performed by one of our customers of adhesion levels over the course of one year  demonstrated the values to increase over time, not decrease.  An AWWA C222 test evaluation on LifeLast DuraShield 210 - performed by KTA Tator - demonstrated that the DuraShield 210 not only meets the required specifications, it goes well beyond them.  Please call LifeLast to obtain a copy of the test report.
