The Ultimate Coating System
Ultracoat* is an innovative 100% epoxy structural coating system that contains no
V.O.C’s or solvents. The coating is applied using patented equipment and produces an exceptional chemical resistant, waterproof reinforcing coating. It can be used on a wide variety of substrates including:
• Concrete
• Brick
• Steel
• Vitrified & Clay Pipes
• Cast Iron
• Asbestos
• Glass fibre
• PVC
Ultracoat can be applied to damp substrates and consequently greatly increases its
usability and speed of application. The result is significantly reduced application
times and reduced over pumping costs. The Ultracoat has many application possibilities including;
Manholes/Chambers
Sewers
Tanking
Tunnels
Settlement Tanks
Pumping Chambers
Aquaducts
Culverts
Food plants
Processing Plants
Breweries
Pumping Stations
Underground transport systems
Chemical Plants
Bunds
Storage Tanks
Marine applications, on board or at shore
Historical Background
The Ultracoat system was developed by Danny Warren of Warren Environmental
Inc. fourteen years ago. To date over 40,000 manholes, many chambers and kilometres of pipes, sewers and tunnels have been completed with ZERO failures.
The Ultracoat system can be applied up to 20mm thick in one coat with no slumping,
has minimal over spraying and does not drip even when applied to overhead
surfaces. The Ultracoat system includes mastics, primers and fire retardant grades, all 100% solids with no V.O.C’s (Volatile organic compounds)
Ultracoat is sprayed hot from patented equipment and is trafficable after two to three
hours. Ultracoat is ideal for confined spaces.
Ultracoat significantly reinforces the structure it is applied to as well as providing a
waterproof & highly chemical resistant coating.
Testing & approvals
Independent tests by the University of North Carolina have shown that badly
corroded concrete pipes when coated (6mm thickness) with Ultracoat have a tested
compressive strength 20% higher than new concrete pipes. The smooth finish also
enhances flow characteristics of the pipe.
Aquafin (Belgium) and IKT (German test house) has extensively tested (both field and laboratory) and
approved the Ultracoat system. The results show it out performs any other product in
the market place. The system is currently under test with WRC with an approval
pending. Ultracoat produces a durable, tough white coating with excellent mechanical
properties and superb adhesion to most substrates.

Ultracoat Surface Preparation
Surface preparation, testing and inspection are the three most common causes of
success or even failure on projects. Surface preparation is a multi step process with
written detailed specification of what is acceptable for surface prep prior to
application of the epoxy resin. A preparation regime has therefore been developed
and is a crucial part of all coatings.
