FEBCO, a Watts brand: Backflow Valve Coating

What's New
The ACHR NEWS
March 9, 2020

Company: FEBCO, a Watts brand

Product: ArmorTek™ Advanced Coating System

Description: This patent-pending technology provides three layers of protection to create an effective barrier for the company’s ductile iron backflow preventer valves. It features an anti-corrosion primer that contains an electrochemical corrosion inhibitor. It significantly slows the spread of corrosion should the metal substrate become exposed from wear or impact. The product’s exclusive formulation inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause MIC. This further slows the spread of corrosion and limits the growth of tubercles that can clog or foul downstream equipment. The top layer is specially designed to bond to the primer below, providing a high-strength barrier between the iron substrate and water.
