Wolverine Coatings Corporation, a formulator and manufacturer of heavy-duty, industrial coatings and linings, has developed LiquaTile 1172, a game changing new coating and internal lining product that cost effectively protects potable (drinking) water storage tanks at a time of tight budgets for infrastructure maintenance and expansion.
Derived from the same research & development team behind the coatings industry’s ground breaking Advanced Hybrid Cycloaliphatic (AHC) technology, Wolverine’s new LiquaTile 1172 is a fast-cure, low-odor, high durability tank lining solution that attains industry-leading water quality levels without requiring expensive plural component application equipment and special techniques.
“Our LiquaTile 1172 passes higher water quality standards than typical coatings can while reducing installation and life cycle cost,” said Eric Swanson, President of Wolverine Coatings Corporation. “No other coating for potable water offers this combination of short and long term advantages. Contractors will love having greater flexibility and stronger competitive stance.”
“The ability to apply a low odor, no solvent coating with a brush and roller or standard airless spray equipment is a game changer in an industry where expensive plural component spray equipment is the norm,” says Robbie Harrison, Technical Services contact at Wolverine Coating Corporation. “This latest achievement is yet another example of Wolverine coming out of tough challenges with smart, game changing ideas for specifying and installing coatings for critically sensitive environments. In addition to drinking water storage, we’ve also helped large aquariums and other aquatic facilities protect the lives of endangered fish and sea animals.”
LiquaTile 1172 is a 100% solids epoxy coating which is UL Water Quality certified to US & Canadian NSF/ANSI 61 & NSF/ANSI Standard 372. It is certified for tanks 50 gallons and above, as well as for pipes 16” diameter and above. It can be applied with a brush and roller or airless spray equipment, with return to direct water contact in 5 days. No specialized equipment or curing procedures are required.
