AkzoNobel Expands Distribution of Polibrid Coatings to Canada

Following an expanded worldwide agreement to distribute Polibrid coatings in 2016, AkzoNobel has now extended the distribution agreement to include Canada. This will enable access to Polibrid products throughout North America as part of the company’s International brand portfolio of protective coatings and linings.

The Polibrid range offers high-build low odor, zero VOC, two-component elastomeric polyurethane lining options designed to protect concrete and steel in severe immersion environments. Fast cure, easy application and flexible crack-resistant properties make Polibrid® ideal for use in corrosive wastewater treatment, potable water, and other immersion applications such as penstocks, dam gates, manholes, and pipelines, where exposure to H2S and microbiologically-induced corrosion (MIC) is prevalent.

“We are delighted about the inclusion of Canada in our North American distribution, where Polibrid’s brand strength among the water and wastewater industry is already well established,” said Steve Feldman, AkzoNobel’s Protective Coatings Business director North America. “We will continue to support existing customers and grow our market share through technology advances and technical expertise that meets the complex requirements of this important market segment.”

The distribution agreement will include a commercial arrangement wherein AkzoNobel can bring Polibrid® technology more easily and economically to applicators, and in turn, provide greater opportunity for owners to lower project costs.
