What Protection Entails


Potable water structures require protection that is certified for drinking water contact, withstand continuous immersion, accommodate substrate movement, and minimize service interruptions.

NSF/ANSI 61 Certification

Intellathane DWS-61 is NSF/ANSI 61 certified for potable water contact in tanks of 1,000 gallons or greater and pumps and valves 4 inches and larger.

Immersion Performance

Intellathane DWS-61 is a 100% solids, zero-VOC pure polyurea engineered for permanent immersion, with 2,400 psi tensile strength and 520 pli tear strength.

Fast Cure

Rapid cure helps return potable water structures to service quickly, minimizing maintenance-related downtime.

Crack Bridging

With 540% elongation, DWS-61 accommodates substrate movement and minor cracking while maintaining a continuous protective barrier.

What Delayed Action Costs

Delaying protection can turn planned maintenance into more extensive repairs, longer outages, and reduced storage capacity while work is completed. As deterioration progresses, cracks, joints, and damaged surfaces can also create pathways for contaminants, increasing water quality risks. Proactive protection helps preserve structural integrity, minimize downtime, and maintain reliable potable water service.
