Protective coatings and linings manufacturer and distributor Rhino Linings Corp. has released a new addition to its growing line of industrial‐grade protective linings.

The HiChem 11‐70 is a two‐component, 100-percent solids, zero‐VOC (volatile organic compound) polyurethane lining, and the company said it represents its most chemical-resistant product to date. 

The lining, developed as part of a partnership with Dow Polyurethanes, provides strong stability for immersion applications and where high levels of chemical resistance are required to deliver superior corrosion protection, according to the company.

Meets Stringent Regulations

In addition to chemical resistance, HiChem meets NSF Standard 61 requirements for use in potable water storage tanks of 5 gal (18.9 L) and larger, or on pipelines with 0.75‐in (19.1 mm) pipe diameter or greater.

“Our new industrial‐grade, chemical-resistant coating is ideal for businesses looking to extend the life of company equipment and facilities while meeting stringent federal containment regulations concerning waste management and safety storage of hazardous materials,” said Pierre Gagnon, president and CEO of Rhino Linings.

“Besides its excellent chemical and corrosion resistance, the HiChem 11‐70 protective lining cures quickly, ensuring businesses experience little‐to‐no downtime and, in some cases, may return to service in less than 24 hours,” Gagnon added.

Wide Range of End-Market Use

As a 100-percent solids, zero‐VOC elastomeric polyurethane, HiChem 11‐70 meets the growing demand for eco‐friendly coatings and linings. The polyurethane lining may be applied using plural component spray equipment to concrete, fiberglass, plastic, metal, and wood, including steel tanks, pipelines concrete basins, reservoirs, aerators, and digesters.

Additionally, the lining is said to create monolithic, seamless protection, allowing it to conform to any shape and size, according to the company.
