Designed for extreme wastewater environments.

Induron Protective Coatings announces the launch of its newest product, Novasafe. Novasafe is a furfuryl modified, thick film, ceramic-filled novolac epoxy and it can stand up to the most extreme environments encountered in treatment plants. “Water and wastewater treatment plant owners, operators, and engineers are under more pressure than ever to protect our national water infrastructure,” said William Seawell, Induron technical service manager. “In a period of increased influent volume, more chemically extreme influent, and increasing regulatory pressure, there is an increasing need for longer immersion coating service lives. “For years, Induron’s method of choice for protecting buried ductile iron pipe interiors, water tank interiors and water treatment plant interiors has been thick film ceramic epoxy technology,” Seawell added. “In response to industry challenges, Induron is bringing that same technology to the most extreme service environments encountered in treatment plants with its introduction of Novasafe ceramic novolac.” Novasafe’s formulation chemistry is unique in the industry, and it is able to accomplish what treatment plant operators need in the most extreme environments with one less coat compared to traditional epoxies and less film thickness than polyurethane/polyurea. Novasafe is able to accomplish this with its unique resin and filler package. As a benchmark of performance, Novasafe is able to withstand exposure to sulfuric acid at all concentration ranges for extended periods of time. Many industry novolacs can withstand dilute or 98% sulfuric acid but the range of 93-97% has historically been problematic for un-baked novolac products— even in the oil and gas industries where this is a significant issue. “While Novasafe is not appropriate for all services—no lining material is— there is a place in every treatment plant specification or treatment plant where Novasafe can assist in providing long-term asset protection, reducing maintenance load, saving maintenance dollars and improving the look of the facility,” said Davies Hood, Induron president.
