Water Industry Applications

Water is undoubtedly one of the most precious and life-sustaining resources on our planet. However, despite the vast total water resources available, only 2.5% of this is freshwater, with the majority locked in glaciers. Compounding this scarcity, freshwater resources have decreased by 35% since 1970, while demand has increased by around 40%. As a result, 800 million people worldwide lack access to reliable water sources, and contaminated water claims the lives of 3.5 million annually. To address this global crisis, significant investments in water infrastructure and treatment technologies are urgently needed. In the United States alone, an estimated $140-160 billion must be allocated to water assets by 2020 to meet minimum requirements. Similarly, in Vietnam, where surface water sources are heavily impacted by industrial, livestock, and saline pollution, reducing water losses and extending the lifespan of water supply infrastructure are top priorities for clean water enterprises. It is within this critical context that the versatile and durable properties of polyurea coatings emerge as a valuable solution for the water industry.

Polyurea applications for clean water

The special requirement for contact materials (coatings, paints, etc.) used in clean water is that these materials must be absolutely safe and not affect human health. Currently, there are two organizations in the world that evaluate the safety of materials for clean water and their impact on human health: the NSF organization of WHO in the United States and the WRAS organization in Europe.

The waterproofing and protective coating materials supplied and applied by NewTec for the clean water industry always ensure long-lasting quality and have safety certifications from both NSF and WRAS. NewTec-branded products exhibit excellent impact resistance, superior abrasion resistance, absolute waterproofing capability, and high chemical corrosion resistance. The lifespan of the coating exceeds 30 years in water and soil environments according to ISO 12944-2:2018 standards.

The common items we provide materials for and apply are:

• Waterproofing of clean water storage tanks
• Waterproofing of roofs and panel joints in warehouses, etc.
• Waterproofing and Polyurethane Foam spraying on pump station roofs
• Protection of floors in chemical and chlorine storage areas
• Waterproofing of underground valve chambers and pipe trenches
• Waterproofing and protection of water transmission pipelines

Polyurea applications for wastewater

Wastewater treatment projects, including storage tanks and pipelines, need to be protected against mechanical impacts, increased abrasion resistance, and corrosion in the working environment. Polycoat Polyurea is an extremely durable coating that creates a continuous membrane with high mechanical properties, seamless application, and very fast curing times in the air, along with excellent corrosion resistance. It adheres perfectly to a variety of surfaces, making it the ideal coating to protect the components of wastewater treatment projects.

The common items for which we provide materials and application services include:

• Corrosion-resistant coating for concrete and steel wastewater pipes.
• Waterproofing and corrosion protection for water storage tanks.
• Waterproofing and Polyurethane Foam spraying on pump station roofs.
• Protection of floors in chemical and chlorine storage areas.
• Waterproofing of underground valve chambers in pipeline systems.

In summary, polyurea has emerged as a transformative solution for the clean water and wastewater industries, offering a range of applications that enhance the durability and effectiveness of water infrastructure. Its exceptional properties, including rapid curing times, seamless application, and outstanding resistance to corrosion and abrasion, make it an ideal choice for protecting critical assets such as water storage tanks, pipelines, and treatment facilities. By providing robust waterproofing and protective coatings, polyurea not only extends the lifespan of these structures but also minimizes maintenance costs and operational downtime. As the demand for reliable and efficient water management solutions continues to grow, the integration of polyurea technology stands out as a crucial step toward ensuring the sustainability and resilience of water systems worldwide.
