Pipework penetrations through walls and floors can be very challenging to prevent water engrossment. Cooling tower plumbing, pipelines from refrigeration holding tanks, chillers, or compressors must be sealed correctly. All of this equipment causes additional challenges for sealing any pipework penetrations, as excessive vibration and movement from the cooling tower fans and pumps and attack from chemicals that are used for water treatment.
Membrane coating system for concrete, steel and cool store panels
Cooling towers and refrigeration systems can leak – splash and spray chemicals over building roofs, plantroom floors and concrete pad. These chemicals attack concrete causing pitting and steel causing corrosion.
Damaged concrete can allow water and chemical leaks into adjoining rooms or building levels.
Corroded steel roofs allow water and chemical leaks into building.
Water treatment chemicals are sometimes contained in bunded areas that can be damaged by the corrosive chemicals. The application of RepelCoat PUME-200 stops further damage and water / chemical leaks.

RepelCoat is a registered trademark of FlowMatrix in Australia.
Formed in 2018 RepelCoat coating products are designed to provide specialized coating systems for cooling tower installations, cooling tower repairs, water leak sealing, pipework, steel supports, plant room floors, roof surfaces under cooling towers, pipework penetrations through floors and roofs, Cool store panel sealing and grouting systems for concrete plinths, or hollow core filling.
The challenge with cooling tower related coating requirements is that the product selected must be able to withstand, chemical attack, high or low pH levels, corrosion, erosion from fast moving water and grit, vibration, excessive movement, foot traffic, and a variation of materials such as steel / copper / fiberglass / plastic.
RepelCoat Rapid RCR-200 / 300 / 400. These systems are used for coating the interior of mild steel, stainless steel, and fiberglass cooling towers. Structural steel supports. Steel ductwork and fan discharges. The amazing thing about this system is the two-hour curing time between coats which is a great time saver for our clients. Submerged applications
RepelCoat PV-300 / 400. These systems are used on pipework, vessels, tanks that are associated with cooling towers or refrigeration systems. Non-Submerged
RepelCoat PUME-200 Membrane coating system for concrete, steel and cool store panels.
RepelCoat Grout GSW-200 for sealing / repairing hollow cores in steel fiberglass or concrete.
RepelCoat MP-100 Submerged concrete resurfacing repair.
For the application of the RepelCoat systems our personnel are trained in using the correct PPE, ventilation procedures, the application of the products, and hazard control.
