DRINKING AND UTILITY WATER If we want to drink clean water we must learn how to inhibit corrosion. Life without water is impossible. And since water makes up 90 per cent of the human body, clean drinking water is vital to each human being. This is why preventing corrosion from occurring in aqueous media and protecting water from corrosion products is so all-important. The centrality of water to biological systems is due, first and foremost, to its being one of the most versatile solvents. Humanity has made use of this property of water since ancient times, so that modern industry now consumes vast quantities of water. The list of aggressive corrosive solutions used for industrial purposes is very long. It includes, first of all, salt, alkali and acid solutions, as well as water/organic mixtures. The corrosion rate may be several hundred or several thousand times as high in these solutions as in natural water. The most technologically straightforward and economical way of preventing corrosion in such an environment is to use polymer coatings. On the other hand, using coatings in high purity and drinking water with a temperature of 50 to 100°Ñ is a daunting challenge, because water is capable of causing dramatic decrease of coating adhesion, sometimes resulting in spontaneous coating pilling. The only answer to this problem are our METACOR® primers. Their adhesion has actually been shown to increase, rather than decrease, in this environment!
INDUSTRIAL WATER PURIFICATION AND WATER SUPPLY EQUIPMENT By combining high resistance to common acids with immunity to pressure drops and surges, and to abrasive wear we have developed coatings for use in water purification equipment, with a service life in excess of 20 years. High adhesiveness of METACOR® primers to a broad range of surfaces and sound design of VICOR® coatings will provide a reliable solution in terms of protecting composite assemblies (carbon steel, stainless steel, concrete) in, e.g., ion-exchange filters. Chemical water treatment and water purification equipment. Unlike cheap “standard” fillings or rubber coatings, VICOR® coatings contain no migrating components capable of harming expensive ion exchange resins such as AMBERSEP, AMBERJET, AMBERLITE, AMBERLIST, DUOLITE, IMAC, MICROIONEX, KU-2-8, KU-2-8-chs, AV-17-8, AV-17-8chs, and AN-31.

The solution we offer is 3 to 10 times cheaper than the use of stainless steel or metal plating. The VICOR®-BIO materials are resistant to disinfectants and antiseptics. They contain no substances banned from inclusion into cosmetics, nor contaminants of food raw materials, foodstuffs or soil. Coating Systems
