System Description:
The UME Composite System is a design system recommendation for rehabilitating and lining aged water and wastewater structures. The system also provides a proper specification for the execution of lining newly installed treatment structures. The intent of this system is to provide for the waterproofing, sealing, structural enhancement and corrosion protection of existing or newly installed tanks, processing, and treatment structures by the safe, quick and economical application of a composite created from a uniform and densely compacted epoxy-modified-cementitious layer of design formulated epoxy-modified-mortar combined with 100% solids UME hybrid epoxy – the result is a UME composite lining system.
The recommendations available with this system design establishes the minimum standard for material and methods of application for sealed corrosion protection for existing and newly installed structures. The system is designed in two stages: The high performance epoxy-modified-mortar liner is first applied onto the interior substrate prior to coating. The material will create a high bond strength layer of protection to the repairs and substrate, minimize the occurrence of outgassing, minimize as a barrier to moisture vapor transmission (MVT) and hydrostatic pressure, and be a fail-safe as a part of the first layer to seal I&I and chemical attack. The UME composite lining system is then completed with the application of a 100% solids UME hybrid epoxy.
Because of its holistic attributes, the system provides performance with economics for all facets of sewage treatment rehab/coating and for drinking water lining.
Available in both a hand/roller-applied and spray-applied versions. Also available for potable, drinking water environments (ANSI/NSF-61).
