Wastewater Paint & Coatings Solutions by Cloverdale Paint

Cloverdale Paint provides a full range of protective coating systems designed to meet the specific demands of the wastewater treatment industry. Our coatings are formulated to protect against corrosion, chemical attack, moisture, and mechanical wear, ensuring long-term durability and regulatory compliance in harsh environments.

Coating Systems Engineered for Wastewater Environments

Wastewater facilities face constant exposure to moisture, corrosive gases, sewage, and aggressive cleaning chemicals. Coatings used in these environments must perform in both immersion and atmospheric conditions. Cloverdale Paint’s systems are engineered to deliver exceptional protection across all critical infrastructure.

Coatings Offered:

  • High-Build Epoxy Linings: Designed for immersion service, these coatings provide superior chemical resistance and barrier protection in tanks, clarifiers, and sumps.
  • Zinc-Rich Primers: Deliver cathodic protection to structural steel exposed to corrosive moisture and wastewater gases.
  • Moisture-Tolerant Epoxies: Ideal for wet environments and tight shutdown windows, offering strong adhesion even in less-than-ideal surface conditions.
  • Polyurethane Topcoats: Provide UV resistance and durability for exterior surfaces, protecting assets from weathering and abrasion.
  • Novolac Epoxies: Offer enhanced resistance to acids, solvents, and caustic environments common in treatment processes.
  • Elastomeric Waterproofing Coatings: Seal and protect concrete substrates from water ingress and freeze/thaw cycles.

Benefits of Using Cloverdale Paint in Wastewater Facilities

  • Long-Term Corrosion Protection: Extend the life of steel and concrete assets in high-humidity and chemically aggressive environments.
  • Improved Facility Hygiene: Smooth, chemical-resistant coatings make cleaning easier and reduce biofilm buildup.
  • Enhanced Regulatory Compliance: Meet environmental and safety standards through reliable coating performance.
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: Durable systems reduce the frequency and cost of maintenance shutdowns.
  • Field-Proven Performance: Cloverdale Paint products are trusted in municipal and industrial wastewater applications across Canada.
