SOMAY manufactures "HYCOTE 151" under license from Underwater Technologies, Nova Scotia, Canada. "HYCOTE 151" is a unique two-component, polyamine-cured epoxy
coating offering application and performance advantages unavailable in any other coating, since it can be applied to concrete and metal surfaces, above the waterline, below
the waterline (in fresh or seawater), and through the splash zone at the interface, in a single application without the need for a primer. "HYCOTE 151"
has been proven by years of use on marine vessels by the U. S. Navy, the U. S. Coast Guard, by major U.S. & international oil companies for offshore oil rigs, platforms, pipelines, barges, etc., by Amtrak to protect concrete railroad bridge piers in water over rivers, bays, estuaries, etc.
"HYCOTE 151"allows corrosion protection engineers to specify previously impossible underwater protection for porous concrete bridge piers, because "HYCOTE 151"
forms a durable waterproof and chemical proof barrier coat which prohibits salt water, chloride ions and other corrosive chemicals from penetrating the porous concrete to attack the reinforcement steel bars ... thus allowing bridges to last many years longer.
"HYCOTE 151"
is especially useful for underwater repairs of steel vessels, including even ice-breaker hulls, since underwater steel patches can be painted and protected, saving the enormous expense of putting military and commercial marine vessels into dry-dock.
"HYCOTE 151" can be used wherever the abrasion and chemical resistance of an epoxy is desired, even in a wet environment
eliminating the time and expense of making the surface thoroughly dry prior to the coating application. UNIQUE FEATURES OF "HYCOTE 151"
VOCs ... 100% Solids ... NO Air Pollution ... NO Volatile or Flammable Solvents ... NO environmental hazards.
Cured "HYCOTE 151" is completely Non-Toxic ... Approved in many countries as SAFE for potable water tanks and food, meat, fish and beverage processing areas.
"HYCOTE 151" allows application above and below the water line and through the splash zone at one time, in one easy application.
Application on properly prepared concrete, including new, fresh "green" concrete that hasn't had time to cure ... a major time saver on new construction.
Cures with exothermic reaction expelling water from between the coating and the substrate
High abrasion and impact resistance ... can withstand heavy vehicular traffic, use on ship struts, vanes, rudders, running gear, etc.
Can withstand 13,000 P.S.I. water blast ... marine growth can be removed easily, normally with less than 8,000 P.S.I. "HYCOTE 151"
is the logical alternative to toxic anti-fouling bottom paint. "HYCOTE 151" has exceptional adhesion to properly prepared surfaces.
One-coat application ... Apply 450 microns (18 mils) DFT at one time ... No primer required on properly prepared steel or concrete surfaces.
Available as a grout or fairing compound for repairing holes, worn or eroded areas, gouges, etc. in concrete floors, pipes, etc..
"HYCOTE 151"can be applied by paint brush, paint roller, by power brush or power roller, and above water by spray. Large scale power application systems are available to lease for large
scale applications on oil rigs, pipelines, etc..
Experienced "HYCOTE 151"
underwater diver/application contractors are available on the East Coast, the West Coast and the Gulf Coast of the U.S.A. and near major U. S. Navy bases world wide.
FREQUENT USES OF "HYCOTE 151"
used to paint military and commercial ships, barges, tankers, etc. underwater, without taking them out of service or out of the water. Saves hauling and dry-dock fees.
"HYCOTE 151" used to paint water or chemical holding tanks and storage tanks, including fish tanks, ballast tanks, sewage tanks, etc., without emptying the tank and taking it out of
service ... paint the tank while it is wet and still in use.
"HYCOTE 151" used to paint fresh, new, concrete floors, before they have had 28 days to cure, while they are still "green" and damp. "HYCOTE 151"
can be applied to wet surfaces without compromising adhesion or performance, even in citrus processing plants.
"HYCOTE 151"
used to paint the underwater, above water, and splash zones of the steel legs of offshore oil rigs, without having to encapsulate them in a watertight caisson ... also, the steel legs of bridges in fresh and salt water.
"HYCOTE 151" used to paint large building air conditioning cooling towers, condensate drip pans, etc., without shutting down the air conditioning system.
"HYCOTE 151" used to paint the concrete piers of railroad and highway bridges to protect them from deterioration caused by exposure to the elements.
