Functional Coatings. Coating operations during converting are similar in principle to the on-machine and off-machine pigment coating operations carried out in the paper mill... A common objective with functional non-aqueous coatings is to provide a barrier to water, water vapor, air, or grease. Typical coating materials include waxes, asphalt, lacquer, varnish, resins and adhesives.

Record 3 2000-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sewers and Drainage
CONT

BIo-organic catalysts are effective in controlling odors and grease in lift stations, force mains and gravity mains by preventing the production of hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and mercaptan and by substantially minimizing existing odors... Bio-organic catalysts rapidly degrade the slime layer and grease build-up inside collection system pipes and receiving basins. This removes the barrier that protects anaerobic organisms, limiting their activity.
