Overview

Trusted Coating. Safer Water.

Protech’s Waterarmor functional thermoplastic powders are the ideal solution for coating pipes used in the transport of potable water. These products are NSF 61 certified and free from Bisphenol A (BPA), emitting no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Waterarmor coatings are formulated to provide excellent protection against UV exposure and are highly durable against weathering. They also provide excellent impact and chemical resistance.

WATERARMOR is formulated with a functionalized polyethylene copolymer that is controlled, tested, and certified for use in marine or water infrastructure. WATERARMOR powder coatings can be sprayed on or applied using a fluidized bed, and no primer is required for these coatings. Waterarmor powder coatings are proudly manufactured in North America.
