The sanitation protection and rehabilitation industry uses elastomeric coatings to keep existing structures and equipment in working order. ArmorThane polyureas like the HighLine 510 are proven to provide the following benefits to concrete and steel rehabilitation projects, and specifically to the “trash” industry.

1. Increased Wear Protection – the service life is greatly improved, in some cases even by a factor of 4 or more
2. Corrosion Resistance – corrosive elements that could potentially cause structural failure over time are blocked by the chemically-resist polyurea coating
3. Easier to Clean – even a simple washing of a coated surface can remove refuse and organic build up; cracks and crevices are sealed
4. Reduction of Bacterial Growth – the combination of the inert and impermeable nature of a cured ArmorThane coating reduces the ability of bacteria to gain a foothold and subsequently, the easier-to-clean environment slows accumulation of bacterial strands
5. Sound Dampening – the movement and impact of falling refuse to the structure walls has a lower level of noise with coated refuse chutes

The HighLine 510 has superior performance compared to any other coating option involving concrete rehabilitation, high humid climates and maximum sanitation control. Check out the YouTube videos of spraying both the trash chutes in Singapore and the sewer manholes in Hong Kong.

The advantage ArmorThane offers applicators is both the knowledge of polymers and a wide variety of coating options for public infrastructure projects, such as deteriorating concrete buildings, bridges, waterproofing systems, secondary containment, trash chutes and sewers that are often decades old. Even with proper maintenance, they eventually need repair to prevent costly replacement. Better yet, the coating of newly installed projects extends the life of structures and makes maintenance more effective, thus reducing costs long term.

In addition to public works projects, the ratios of our materials and physical properties of each coating make them suited for many applications. These elastomeric sprayed-on coatings are developed for concrete, wood, steel and other materials and are used the world over. A few of our other projects include impact and corrosion protection in mines of Peru, metal roof repair and waterproofing along the coast of Nigeria, truck and heavy equipment protection in Australia and explosive blast mitigation and protection for the US Military.
