Glass-Flake Protection
for Every Critical Sector

Hulls at sea, liners in chemical plants, pipework that can't be shut down. For 35 years we've built glass-flake coatings for the places that chew ordinary protection to pieces, and we've got the field record to show for it.

The Fleet Depends on
Every Hull

Ships and offshore platforms work in about the toughest conditions there are. Salt water, marine growth, constant abrasion and the steady push of pressure all wear a hull down. The coating has to take all of that and keep going, voyage after voyage.

Polyglyde® hull systems reduce drag and resist marine fouling. Polytube® lines seawater piping in-place with a fiberglass inversion liner and no pipe disassembly. Polyflake® protects ballast tanks and cargo holds against long-term corrosion.

Where Failure
Has No Place

Refineries, pipelines and storage tanks deal with aggressive chemicals and big temperature swings day after day. When a coating lets go in a place like this, you're not looking at a maintenance job. You're looking at a safety and environmental problem nobody wants.

Polyflake® systems stand up to the full pH 1–14 range across processing plants. Polytube® rebuilds aging pipelines in place with a fiberglass inversion liner, so there's no pipe to take apart and no need to stop production.

Aquatic Finishes
Built to Last

A commercial pool never gets a break. It sits in water all day, takes a steady dose of chlorine and treatment chemicals, bakes in UV, and puts up with constant foot traffic. Ordinary finishes blister, go chalky and give out years earlier than they should.

Our Polyflake® coatings give pool shells, decks and water features a hard, non-porous surface that shrugs off chemicals. It holds off the algae, staining and chemical attack that wear ordinary finishes down, so the surface still looks good season after season.

pH 1 to 14.
We Handle It All.

Aggressive chemicals don't give second chances. Acids, alkalis, solvents and oxidizers can eat through an ordinary liner in months. Polyflake® handles the full chemical range and stands up to more than 800 aggressive fluids, including strong acids, alkalis and hot process streams.

Our own crews do the work to NACE/SSPC standards, and we'll match the formulation to the exact chemicals you're dealing with. We protect EGCS-IGS scrubbers against both alkali and acid, and we coat ozone tanks, smokestacks, scrubbers and blowers. Secondary containment that actually contains. Every stage is documented, and we'll bring in independent inspection if you want it.

24 Continuous Years at BC Hydro Burrard Thermal.

Polyflake® has been holding up for 24 years at BC Hydro's Burrard Thermal station, one of the hardest continuous seawater cooling jobs in North America. We protect the seawater cooling systems there, along with condenser end-covers, impellers, multi-stage pump bowls and tube plates.

Our Polyflake® high-temperature systems take constant heat cycling and non-stop seawater in their stride. Polytube® rebuilds cooling-water pipelines during planned outages, so you keep more of the plant running and get more years out of it.

Protection

Factories, processing plants and warehouses take a constant beating from spills, abrasion and heavy loads dropping where they shouldn't. A standard coating can be gone inside one production cycle. Polyflake® is built to stay down for decades of that kind of use.

We put down chemical-resistant floors that cut slip risk and keep spills where they land. We coat machinery to get more working years out of it, and we line the storage and processing vessels that sit in tough production areas.
