Advenira Enterprises,Inc., a developer of Solution Derived Nanocomposite (SDNTM) technology for environmentally friendly protective and optical coatings, announced outstanding results from recent testing of its ClearCorr and ClearCorrUV protective coatings for water distribution and storage systems. The corrosion and abrasion resistance data showed superiority over similar coatings in the market, specifically increased
performance and excellent adhesion. The ANS61 water extraction test revealed no toxic metal ions or organic substances.
Advenira's products were tested on metal substrates as interior and exterior coatings to create a
barrier preventing the access of water as the corrosion-mediating electrolyte to the pipe wall and dissolution and erosion of contaminants from the pipe wall to water.
Results showed ClearCorr as a superior internal coating of water distribution systems, without leaching
toxic contaminants, and ClearCorrUV to best protect external walls, where it could be applied at higher thickness without risk of cracking.
Corrosion severely
reduces the useful lifetime of water distribution pipes and mains, adversely
affects the quality of potable water and greatly
increases the cost to maintain the systems. Undesirable taste and red color of drinking water, a restricted flow of water and thus lower water pressure, and pipe failure are just some of the problems caused by corrosion in water systems.
Solutions tackling corrosion to date include selecting higher corrosion resistance materials, adding an internal liner and external wrapping, applying a coating or adding corrosion inhibitors to water.
Advenira's toxic-free and toxic-repelling coatings used as the internal liner and external wrapping solution outperformed the biggest coatings companies on the market. The company's
SDNTM technology not only focuses on increasing the lifetime of the products
they coat, but on maintaining the highest level of eco-friendly materials and processes
through serious limitations on VOC emissions.
