Water Transmission Coatings & Linings

Coatings and linings for transmission pipes

What are Transmission Pipe Coatings & Linings?

Pipes transporting wastewater or potable water require coatings to protect the interior and exterior steel or concrete from damage caused by the harsh, wet environment. Transmission pipe coating and lining products eliminate the risk of leakage, corrosion, erosion, and degradation.

Sherwin-Williams coatings for industrial, commercial, and municipal transmission pipes are specially designed to offer complete protection from corrosion, wear and tear, chemicals, and abrasions. Our high-performance coating and lining solutions meet AWWA C210 epoxy requirements and AWWA C222 polyurethane standards and deliver long-term protection, ensuring maximum efficiency and extending the service life of transmission pipes.

  • Extends the total service life of water transmission systems
  • Protects against leaks
  • Reduces out-of-service time for critical assets
  • Improves flow efficiencies reducing energy consumption
  • Protects against contamination
  • Protects steel and ductile iron

Anti-Corrosive & Chemical Resistant Water Transmission Pipeline Coating & Linings

Steel and concrete transmission pipeline systems begin to degrade, deteriorate, leak, and fail after time, especially as they are exposed to corrosive chemicals, abrasions, impacts, oils, natural elements, alcohols, and more. When these pipes begin to corrode, the quality of the water is at risk, and leaks can occur. Unless the piping materials are protected with an inside lining and outside coating specially designed to withstand the moist, abrasive environment, the resulting damage can be widespread and costly.

Sherwin-Williams protective coatings offer:

  • Improved water flow 
  • Efficient application including automation
  • Durable protection against degradation

AWWA C210 Epoxy & AWWA C22 Polyurethane Transmission Pipe Systems for a Long-Lasting Finish 

Sherwin-Williams designed our water transmission pipeline coating and lining solutions to meet the strict standards defined by The American Water Works Association (AWWA)  for transmission pipes that hold potable water. Our epoxy pipe lining and coating products meet AWWA C210 epoxy standards, and our polyurethane coating and lining systems conform to AWWA C222 polyurethane regulations.

Sherwin-Williams wastewater and water transmission pipeline coating and lining solutions are extremely durable and resistant to impacts, abrasions, cracks, wear and tear, chemicals, and corrosion. Our external coating and internal lining products provide protection from the challenging environmental conditions of transmission pipes, whether they are located underground, above ground, or even underwater. They provide a protective barrier that prevents water contamination, reduces the risk of leaks, seals cracks, and extends the life of the transmission pipeline.

Our polyurethane or epoxy pipe lining and coating solutions are an affordable and cost-effective protective option for water and wastewater transmission pipelines in municipal, commercial, or industrial areas.
