Protective coating STRATA-CAT

anti-corrosionfor bridge constructionfor metal

Armtec is the first structural plate manufacturer to develop and introduce this unique solvent free, environmentally friendly, two coat polymer coating system for structural plate, deep corrugated structural plate and tunnel liner plate. Our research and development started in 2004 and continues today. Our ongoing testing program has allowed us to increase the specified coating performance of 1,000 hours to over 3,000 hours for salt spray testing to ASTM B117A. Armtec Strata-CAT layered corrosion arresting technology coating is a unique two-coat system that provides two layers of protection. It is based on the industry standard ethylene acrylic acid (EAA), as used and approved for culvert systems. The base coat is a zinc-rich layer providing outstanding corrosion resistance while the top coat polymer layer provides superior resistance to impact, corrosion, abrasion and diluted inorganic acid or alkali. The minimum thickness of the coating system is 20mils (10mils per side). The system is designed to provide a service life between 50 and 100 years, depending on environmental parameters. Armtec Strata-CAT is available for all steel thicknesses, and it coats the entire plate. Features & Benefits Extends long-term life of storm sewer and culvert structures Delivers a strong, durable barrier between the structure and the environment System is chemically bonded to substrate, preventing de-lamination Provides excellent corrosion resistance against diluted acids, salts and alkalis Prevents leaching of heavy metals into water streams Can be applied on full or partial structural components Adds virtually no weight to the structure Patchable film if damaged in field
