PREMIUM CARE FOR PIPES

Our specially formulated Picote Dual Colour 100% Solids Epoxy has been designed to build up layers inside the pipe to form a semi-structural solution. This provides an effective barrier which is corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, damp-proof and non-corrosive! The new epoxy pipe is also elastic, withstanding shock & bending and is anti-static too! 

Brush coating before and afterFurther pipe deterioration is significantly reduced by preventing corrosion and giving added structure to the old pipe. Applying several coats creates a 2-4mm wall, depending on the number of coats applied.

*Estimated lifespan when applied correctly is 30-50 years!tape on cameraWHY COAT?  

Coating pipe extends the life of the pipe without replacing it. The original pipe provides the blueprint and the epoxy coating builds up in layers to form a brand new pipe inside the old one.

The new slick inner surface gives increased flow and reduces the risk of future blockages. By brushing the epoxy you have control over the coverage, distribution and thickness applied, with minimal waste or mess.

CIPP can achieve long sections of renewed pipework and Picote Brush Coating™ can deal with the smaller and trickier stages. Multiple bends, small diameters, small access points and irregular-shaped pipework can all be renovated with Picote 100% Solids Epoxy.  We can even help with square pipes!
 

APPLICATIONS

There are so many exciting opportunities to go trenchless with Picote. Renovate entire pipe systems with minimal disruption! Coat with multiple layers for added strength, or just with one layer to add a protective finish following cleaning.
 
Potential Coating Projects Include:
 
  • private and municipal swimming pools 
  • marine projects
  • historic buildings
  • water fountains
  • domestic drains and rainwater systems
  • hospital and clinics
  • shopping centres
  • manufacturing plants

Pipe Structures Suitable for Coating:

  • junctions
  • elbows
  • down pipes
  • vertical sewer stacks
  • fire lines
  • lateral branches, and more!

DON'T MISS A SPOT! 

Our unique Dual Colour coating system is designed for alternating between a white layer and a grey layer with each coating. Depending on the pipe, choose either white or grey for the first coat, and then the other colour for the second coat, and alternate depending on the number of coats. This makes it simple to visually verify that epoxy has been evenly distributed everywhere.
