Fernco Environmental Ultracoat epoxy coating system

The Ultracoat epoxy coating system from Fernco Environmental provides repair, rehabilitation and protection of grease traps, settlement tanks, manholes and all other trade effluent chambers.

Due to the chemical composition of the trade effluent, chambers traditionally built with concrete and brick will become corroded over time. Effluent may then leach out into the ground, and groundwater can infiltrate into the drainage network.

As a result, the structure may become unstable, maintenance can become more expensive and the facility may experience downtime. Furthermore, environmental issues may become legal issues.

The Ultracoat epoxy spray applied coating system is highly chemical resistant (pH 2-14). According to the company, the system can extend the life of structures by up to 50 years.

Containing no VOCs (volatile organic compounds), Ultracoat is suitable for application in corroded chambers and settlement tanks that are located underground or in confined spaces.

According to Fernco, Ultracoat is only used by licensed applicators who have completed its training scheme.
