Protection for sewage and water treatment plant with paint based on Alloprene chlorinated rubber

Abstract

In any environment careful consideration must be given to the most cost effective way to protect steel and concrete structures against the effects of corrosion. The special factors which apply to sewage and water treatment plants are described and examples are given of systems which have been used for their protection throughout the world. Paint is the material most widely used to protect steel. Surface preparation, selection of the paint resin, total dry film thickness, ease of application and maintenance are among the many factors to be considered when deciding which type of paint system to use. Where concrete is painted, the need for an alkali resistant paint is an additional factor to be considered.
