Protective Coatings
Tnemec Company's protective coatings safeguard steel, concrete, and other substrates from corrosion, chemical attack, and UV degradation. Our solutions cater to industries like water treatment, architecture, and marine environments, ensuring long-term asset integrity. Backed by technical expertise and global distribution, our coatings combine durability with compliance to standards like NSF 600 and AWWA D102.
Corrosion Protection
Our corrosion protection systems utilize advanced primers, linings, and topcoats to extend the lifespan of infrastructure. Products like Hydro-Zinc and Epoxoline provide NSF-certified protection for potable water tanks, while fluoropolymer finishes resist harsh industrial conditions. Decades of R&D ensure performance in aggressive environments, from wastewater plants to coastal structures.
Thermal Insulating Coatings
Aerolon, our thermal insulating coating, combats condensation and corrosion under insulation (CUI) using aerogel technology. Applied via spray, it forms a barrier on steel and concrete, reducing heat transfer and personnel injury risks. Ideal for industrial piping, chillers, and HVAC systems, Aerolon delivers energy efficiency without compromising safety or durability.
Water-Based Coatings
Tnemec Company's water-based coatings, including ProPolymer and Strata-Shield, offer VOC compliance, low odor, and worker safety without sacrificing performance. These products resist flash rust, simplify cleanup, and meet stringent environmental regulations. They are ideal for applications requiring rapid curing and long-term protection in architectural and industrial settings.
NSF-Certified Linings
Our NSF 600-certified linings, such as Series 22 Epoxoline and Hydro-Zinc, protect potable water infrastructure with extractable levels below regulatory limits. These systems ensure safe, durable protection for tanks, pipes, and treatment facilities, combining decades of field-proven performance with compliance to evolving standards like AWWA D102.
