PrimeLiner EM – Epoxy Mortar

Probably the most important aspect of any coating is its proven application and effectiveness in different environments. CPP™ has been used throughout Miami-Dade Water & Sewer´s fluid flow processing and collection structures. It has proven itself since 1990 with excellent results in some of the most severe environments known. (i.e. Closed UNOX (O2) Trains).

CPP™ when used as coating/liner, can resurface, rebuild, and protect all-in-one-shot as a sealed system preventing infiltration and exfiltration, and combating the effects of corrosion. Many times corrosion can deteriorate concrete and risk the integrity of the structure. In addition to the aforementioned, CPP™ performs exceptionally over rebar and for repairs to areas on concern as it boasts up to 16,000 psi compressive strength, making it a structural fix.

What this means to the applicator is that it is easy to mix, no complicated mix ratio, meaning less room for human error, higher installation success. Kits are either 1-to-1 or available in a premeasured unit.

Wet tolerant is actually an understatement for CPP™ because CPP™can adhere and cure underwater (used to repair seawalls underwater). This is a unique quality that is needed and used in the water and wastewater environments. Very few systems can withstand high levels of moisture without failing. The CPP™ performs well in humid environments (especially found in Florida closed environment structures) such as closed tanks, pipes, and underground structures. It´s great to use, if needed, while some structures are in service, as it can cure without any effects exposed to splash or even overflow, as long as the flow is not aggressive or pressurized.

Adhesion is one of the most important features of any coating in preventing corrosion for the long-term. CPP™ is self-priming and has among the best adhesive properties ever seen by Epoxytec. CPP™ adheres to most surfaces, often outperforming even to mistaken imperfect surfaces or unknowns, and with substrate breaking bond strength on concrete (greater than the cohesive strength of the concrete itself).

This is where CPPTM shines. CPP™ has been proven to be extremely surface friendly. The coating can often bridge the gap when unknown environmental control limitations occur (often happening unintentionally), the coating is able to be applied and outperform better than typical surface-sensitive competitive products.

CPP™ can be simply applied by trowel (or an optional spray version) when other coatings require expensive application systems from $20,000 to over $100,000 per sprayer.

What this means to the applicator is that they can apply a thick coating for the first time and eliminate multiple coatings costing time and labor, which results in costing money.

CPP™ does not act like a typical coating, rather it can be better categorized as a permanent barrier, shell, or patch. It does not fail due to delamination like a thin or brittle coating could. It can take chemical attack, gaseous or microbial attack, hydrostatic pressure, rooting pressure, vibration and good impact, etc.

CPP™ is a system that can be recoated, repaired, and touched-up without complicated preparation – simple cleaning and degreasing is all that is needed. This makes having a preventive maintenance program feasible with high life-cycle expectations, usually just requiring simple visual inspection and touch-up (often just with a brush) when needed. Doing this can extend the life-expectancy for decades with minimal investment and uncomplicated application.
