Wastewater Treatment Coatings & Linings

Coatings and linings for wastewater treatment facilities

WHAT are WASTEWater Treatment Plant Coatings & Linings?

Wastewater environments go hand in hand with the presence of sulfuric acid, chlorine, ammonium, sodium, sulfates, and other chemicals, which can cause significant problems for facility managers. Storage containers, tanks, pipes, intake structures, basins, clarifiers, vessels, and other steel or concrete infrastructure in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities are subject to a range of constant abuse from chemical exposure, abrasions, impacts, and more. These elements can corrode, erode, crack, and otherwise damage the concrete or steel, leading to leakage, reduced lifespan, costly maintenance, and other wide-reaching consequences — unless they are adequately protected.

Sherwin-Williams wastewater coating and lining solutions offer superior chemical resistance and long-lasting protection to concrete and steel structures. Whether the substrate is exposed to environmental hazards, corrosive elements, chemical attacks, or atmospheric damage, Sherwin-Williams coatings and linings prevent corrosion and ensure the long-term service life of the wastewater treatment structure.

  • Extend the total service life of treatment facilities and equipment
  • Protects against chemical degradation
  • Reduces out-of-service time for critical assets
  • Protects against leaks
  • Protects against contamination
  • Protects concrete, steel, and ductile iron

Anti-Corrosive & Chemical Resistant Wastewater Treatment Coatings & Linings

Storage containers, tanks, pipes, intake structures, basins, clarifiers, vessels, and other steel or concrete infrastructure in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities are subject to a range of constant abuse from chemical exposure, abrasions, impacts, and more. These elements can corrode, erode, crack, and otherwise damage the concrete or steel, leading to leakage, reduced lifespan, costly maintenance, and other wide-reaching consequences—unless they are adequately protected.

Sherwin-Williams protective coatings offer:

  • Superior resistance to hydrogen sulfide, gas, and microbiologically induced corrosion
  • Versatile application processes to address jobsite access
  • Compatibility with all concrete rehabilitation construction materials

Wastewater Treatment Coatings & Linings for a Long-Lasting, Durable Finish 

Sherwin-Williams wastewater treatment coating and linings solutions are extremely durable as well as resistant to impacts, wear and tear, and abrasions. They fully adhere to the concrete or steel substrate, serve as a functional protective barrier, and are made to withstand the harsh conditions of wastewater treatment environments. Sherwin-Williams epoxy and polyurethane coatings and linings meet the demanding needs of wastewater facilities and offer long-term protection.

Our municipal and industrial coatings for wastewater collection systems as well as our pipe, tank, and container linings create a barrier between the stored or transported liquid and the substrate surface. Thanks to the significant protection, durability, anti-corrosive, and chemical resistant properties of Sherwin-Williams coating and lining products, maintenance requirements are significantly reduced. After installation, you can increase the lifespan of the infrastructure in your wastewater treatment facility and enjoy the benefits for years to come.
