HIGH-QUALITY CORROSION PROTECTION SYSTEMS FOR UNDERGROUND PIPES DIRECTLY APPLICABLE “ON CONSTRUCTION SITES” OR“IN THE FACTORY”.

COATEC has developed a range of solutions to meet the most sophisticated requirements of its customers in the field of corrosion coatings of pipes of any diameter for gas, water and oil.

Over twenty years of experience in the field, allow today to propose the series of ALTENE systems with applications suitable for every type of terrains and operating condition.

ALTENE systems consist of the best combination of primers, corrosion protection tape (inner) and mechanical protection tape (outer).

In addition to the inner-outer systems, COATEC has developed mono-tape for special applications such as pipe lining repairs and valve protection and fittings.
ALTENE anti-corrosion systems are used with satisfaction by all the most important companies in the sector both in the realization of new pipelines and in the rehabilitation of existing ones, whose protection is restored without interrupting their service.

The polymeric composition of the ALTENE tapes and their application “cold” guarantee a “clean“”product, that is made in full respect of the environment and human health, and a better quality level compared to the bitumen based systems.

The ALTENE systems guarantee maximum protection, through their strong adhesion to metal and to themselves and the very high resistance to cathodic detachment.
The characteristics of the polyolefin supports of the ALTENE systems add to the remarkable wearability a high mechanical resistance, that allows to apply a strong tension during their winding achieving a tough and homogeneous cover.

ALTENE systems shall ensure:

• The maximum duration of protection over time, thanks to the high values of electrical and chemical resistance to both acids and alkali and their mechanical characteristics that protect the pipe from impact and drilling during transport and installation.
• Great economy, because, in the face of a high productivity, they need very little investment, generate little waste, can be applied in the widest range of ambient operating temperatures and thanks to their flexibility, they are continuously adaptable to the different soil morphologies.
• Protection of the environment and protection of human health through the stability of their components and non-polluting application.

• A remarkable speed of execution of the coatings with the maintenance in service of the pipes during the restoration of the protection.
• An extremely advantageous cost-benefit rapport, because, against very low investments, they allow a fast and accurate work.
• The restoration of the optimum level of protection regardless of the morphological conditions of the soil, the diameters, the lengths of the pipes and the protective system previously used.
• Maximum durability of protection due to the stability and resistance of their components to electrical, chemical, biological and mechanical aggression.
• A great economy thanks to flexibility and ease of application.
• Maximum durability of protection due to the stability and resistance of their components to electrical, chemical, biological and mechanical aggression.
