| PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION |
WaterGuard™ LE is a 100% solids, two component, solvent free, high build epoxy lining used to provide corrosion protection for the internals of steel pipes. It conforms to BS6920 and ANSI/NSF 61 standards for potable water, and can also be used for other applications including raw water, process water, sewage, wastewater, crude oil, and white oils. It is designed for high build single coat applications by airless spray equipment. |
| FEATURES
AND BENEFITS |
Excellent Performance Properties
WaterGuard™ LE cures to form a hard and glossy surface film with excellent resistance to a wide range of aqueous chemicals including potable water, effluents, raw water, process water, sewage, crude oils, and white oils. It exhibits excellent adhesion on correctly prepared steel surfaces. The product is also compatible with most readily available field joint coating systems such as heat-shrinkable sleeves, liquid epoxy, Fusion Bonded Epoxy, and polyurethane coatings.
Easy Application
WaterGuard™ LE is suitable for application as a single coat system, using both standard and/or plural component airless spray equipment. It is also capable of being applied by roller or brush for small applications and repairs.
Environmentally Safe
With a 100% volume solids, zero VOC formulation, WaterGuard™ LE is designed to meet strict Health, Safety and Environmental standards. The product eliminates solvent emissions, explosion risk and fire hazard, and is designed to eliminate the risk of solvent retention which can influence water quality and coating defects.
