What We Protect

Critical assets eventually fail as chemical exposure, corrosion, abrasion, and moisture expedite their erosion. Intellathane coating systems are engineered to thrive in environments subject to corrosion — protecting a variety of assets from municipal water infrastructures to bulk material handling systems.

Find the Right Protection for Your Asset

Choosing the best protection for assets requires addressing two fundamental questions: what the asset is made of, and what it is exposed to.

This website tackles these questions from two angles:

  1. The type of structure or application, such as wastewater systems, water treatment systems, and marine environment, and the environmental pressure it faces. Understanding its exposure to internal and external elements helps identify the problems that need to be addressed.
  2. The type of substrate. Sections are organized by substrate because concrete and metal deteriorate differently and require different types of protection.

Most projects require considering both dynamics. If you're not sure how to evaluate your asset’s protection needs, start by considering the environment. We'll help with the rest.

By Environment

Bridges & Structures

Bridges and other related structures require substructure protection for abutments, piers, bearing seats, culverts, and retaining walls against chloride intrusion and freeze-thaw.

Learn more

Facility Maintenance

Facility maintenance requires protecting industrial floors, containment areas, loading docks, equipment pads, and mechanical rooms against traffic, chemicals, and moisture.

Learn more

Heavy Industrial

Heavy industrial applications require wear and abrasion protection for transfer chutes, conveyor discharge zones, hoppers, and crusher zones in mining, aggregates, and cement.

Learn more

Marine

Marine environments face internal and external exposure risk, requiring combined abrasion and corrosion protection for bulk handling equipment, dock structures, pile splash zones, and structural metal in port and terminal service.

Learn more

Potable Water Systems

Since potable water systems protect drinking water, they require extensive protection and should support NSF/ANSI 61 certified systems for storage tanks, clearwells, and finished water structures that come in contact with drinking water.

Learn more

Secondary Containment Systems

Secondary containment systems feature floors, dikes, sumps, and tank pads and can be exposed to oil and gas, chemical processing, and other facility applications.

Learn more

Wastewater Infrastructure

As the most chemically-aggressive environment in municipal infrastructures, wastewater systems encompass lift stations, wet wells, clarifiers, digesters, manholes, and headworks. They require extensive protection on multiple surfaces.

Learn more

Water Treatment Systems

Water treatment systems encompass intake structures, basins, filter galleries, and chemical feed areas, which must be protected against continuous moisture, treatment chemistry, and wet-dry cycling.

Learn more

By Substrate

Concrete Asset Protection

Concrete assets require barrier and crack-bridging systems for concrete structures facing chemical exposure, abrasion, moisture, and freeze-thaw.

Learn more

Metal Asset Protection

Metal assets require corrosion protection for tanks, structural members, equipment, and piping, including service where wear and corrosion occur together.

Learn more

Manufacturing

OEM

Coating systems specified into manufactured products, including rail car interiors, durable parts, and equipment components, with custom formulation for OEM volume.

Not Sure Where To Start?

Many assets fit into multiple categories. For example, a steel tank in a treatment plant may simultaneously require metal asset protection, water treatment infrastructure protection, and potable water certification.

Tell us what you need to protect and what it's exposed to, and we'll point you to the right system.
