 General Applications

In environments that stress the need for corrosive protection, Gafco Industries coated products offer a high level of protection while
maintaining a much more environmentally friendly final product than other coated materials on the market. The products used to create
the coating are resistant to a vast variety of corrosive chemicals and when properly applied, provide an extremely strong shield from
corrosive environments thus prolonging the life of expensive material and equipment.
In addition the Gafco Industries product line allows for bonding of couplings, on the job site for area needing extra protection of joints.

The coatings industry, as with countless other industries, has undergone many changes over the years. Pressures causing these changes
include demands for more environmentally and health friendly technologies as well as higher performance and better chemical and
corrosion resistance. Gafco Industries meets all of these emerging demands, cleanly.

Gafco Industries takes advantage of proven protective coating technologies based on functionalized polyolefin alloys. The proprietary
compound provides exceptional adhesion to polar substrates, resulting in a highly versatile material that performs well in aggressive
environments due to its flexibility and impact resistance properties. The material’s inherent toughness also provides resistance to abrasion,
chemical attack and permeation by liquids. The coating material can be field repaired to near factory finish should damage occur without
the use of dangerous or caustic chemicals.
Characteristics:
UV Protection
The unique chemical properties of the Polymer-based compounds provide un-surpassed UV corrosion protection when installed outdoors
or exposed to sunlight and other UV producing environments. This means an extra layer of protection for long-term exposed installations.

Reduced Environmental Footprint
Unlike traditional PVC coated components and other coatings, tapes, paints, etc. Gafco Industries utilizes proven state of the art
thermoplastic coating technologies that contain:

                                                            - No reactive ingredients
                                                            - No phthalates
                                                            - No halogens
                                                            - No isocyanates
                                                            - No heavy metals
                                                            - No VOC’s
                                                            - No Chlorine components
                                                            - No hydrogen chloride gas emissions resulting from burning

                                                            In addition to the many environmental and health advantages that Gafco Industries offers,
                                                            it also provides the following additional beneficial characteristics:
