Problem: When constructing a new wastewater treatment plant, staff in Warrington, Pennsylvania, knew it was a matter of time before the concrete and metals would begin to break down due to the harsh environment and so chose to coat the exposed surfaces.
Solution: The team chose the OBIC Armor coating system, a multi-layer spray-on application followed by a surfacing layer and finished with another layer of polyurea. It has passed the Severe Wastewater Analysis Testing in accordance with ASTM G210-13. The polyurea also bonds well with materials including concrete, brick, steel and glass and does not crack or fracture.
Result: The coating extended the life expectancy of the structure and added a 10-year warranty on the coating and installation. The city staff had confidence in the product, having used it for manholes and pump stations. 866-636-4854; www.obicproducts.com
