PPG Unveils Complete Coating Solutions for Wastewater Operations
PPG significantly expanded its coatings offering for wastewater infrastructure, thanks to its recent acquisition of VERSAFLEX/Raven Lining Systems, “which are used throughout the water, wastewater and manhole rehabilitation industries,” said Juanjo Ardid, PPG vice president, protective and marine coatings, U.S. and Canada.
Customers can now choose from a comprehensive range of coatings that provide optimum corrosion and chemical resistance based on the environment (immersive or atmospheric), the substrate being protected (concrete or steel) and specific performance requirements.
The expanded portfolio combines proven PPG coating systems for aggressive underwater concrete applications, with a variety of those for exterior and interior steel tanks, basins and facility infrastructure. While all are designed to resist aggressive corrosion and provide long-lasting performance, each is formulated for specific end-use requirements.
- PPGRaven405 high-build epoxy coating provides heavy-duty protection and broad chemical resistance, especially to H2S gases, for challenging concrete immersion applications like wet wells, digesters and manholes.
- PPGAquataFlextri-hybrid series combines the chemical resistance of an epoxy, flexibility of a polyurethane, and fast cure of a polyurea, for concrete substrates that are subject to structural movement or require quick return to service.
- PPGRaven755 cementitious resurfacer rehabilitates deteriorated concrete as a first coat in a system with PPG Raven 405 or PPG Aquataflex series coatings, for manholes, wet wells, filter basins and headworks.
- PPG SIGMASHIELD seriesprovides high abrasion and impact resistance for steel-immersion applications, due to its ultra-high film build with
broad application thicknesses. - PPG NOVAGUARD 890novolacepoxy lining offers excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals and solvents, including H2S, for direct-to-metal applications.
- PPG AMERCOAT interior and PPG AMERLOCK exterior epoxy coatingsprovide versatile, surface-tolerant coatings for atmospheric steel applications in tanks and basins.
Supporting this wastewater systems portfolio, a technical service team assists with project design and product specification to ensure a recommendation tailored for a certain environment. In addition, a new online interactive guide, with 3-D illustrations of wastewater facility infrastructure and information on where PPG products can be applied, is available on the website, by selecting the “Resources” tab on the home page, then “PPG Wastewater Systems.”
“Wastewater plant operators, engineers and contractors can benefit from having a single resource for proven coatings products, backed by the extensive technical support, applications expertise, specification tools and distribution network of PPG,” added Ardid.

NASSCO Releases New Video on Grouting Technology
After years of hard work from its Infiltration Control Grouting Committee (ICGC), NASSCO has produced a new technical video.
“Infiltration Control Grouting” covers the basics about proven grouting for sanitary sewer systems. Considered by some to be the first trenchless technology, it continues to evolve to eliminate infiltration, stabilize systems and rehabilitate sewer lines.
A link is available on the NASSCO website, by selecting the “Resources” tab of the home page, then “Videos” and “Grouting Technology” from the list.
NASSCO is an industry trade association committed to setting standards for the assessment, maintenance and rehabilitation of underground infrastructure, and to assuring the continued acceptance and growth of trenchless technologies. Members include contractors, consulting engineers, system owners, public agencies, suppliers and manufacturers, and others aligned to the industry. Together, NASSCO members build awareness for aging infrastructure and provide viable solutions through education, technical resources, and advocacy.
