WHY USE SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 – BENEFITS

• Saves Money – Lasts IndefinitelyProvides Superior Corrosion and Abrasion Resistance on Metal or ConcreteHas NO VOC's – Non-Toxic When Cured151 Can Be Maintained Easily

  SOMAY “HYCOTE” 151 SAVES MONEY

  SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 can be applied in water underwater, so that emergency repairs below the water line on military and commercial marine vessels can be protected from corrosion without a costly trip to a ship yard dry dock.

  SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 forms a durable waterproof, abrasion resistant and chemical proof epoxy barrier coat which prohibits salt water, chloride ions and other corrosive chemicals from penetrating porous concrete to attack the steel reinforcement bars – thus allowing bridge pilings and piers and bulkheads to last many years longer without costly repairs.

  SOMAY "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.

  The pictures above were taken after more than 15 years of SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 exposed to warm, salt water in Subic Bay, the Philippines. More than 5 years later, SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 is still protecting those pilings from corrosion.

  When asked about his use of SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 on the sea legs of offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, the International Chief Engineer of a major international petroleum company, exporter, refiner and gasoline retailer, said that "SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 is not expensive for what it does because it saves so much money compared to the alternatives."

  
  SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 PROVIDES SUPERIOR CORROSION AND ABRASION RESISTANCE ON METAL OR CONCRETE

  SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 allows corrosion protection engineers to specify previously impossible underwater protection for porous concrete bridge piers, because SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 forms a durable waterproof and chemical proof barrier coat that prohibits salt water, chloride ions and other corrosive chemicals from penetrating the porous concrete to attack the steel reinforcement bars … thus allowing bridges, piers, bulkheads, etc. to last many years longer.

  SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 has high abrasion and impact resistance. It can withstand heavy vehicular traffic, use on ship struts, vanes, rudders, running gear, etc., even on ice breakers.

  SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151, combined with suitable aggregate, produces a heavy duty, non-slip floor coating possessing excellent adhesion, abrasion resistance and chemical resistance.

  
  SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 HAS NO VOC's

  SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 has NO VOC's … 100% Solids … NO Air Pollution … NO Volatile or Flammable Solvents. It presents no environmental hazard due to the release of volatile solvents during cure.

  The cured SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 coating is completely Non-Toxic. It has been approved in many countries as SAFE for potable water tanks and food, meat, fish and beverage processing areas.

  
  SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 CAN BE MAINTAINED EASILY

  Properly applied SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 is an extremely hard coating with exceptional adhesion that can withstand 13,000 P.S.I. water blast. Since marine growth can be removed easily with less than 8,000 P.S.I., SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 is the logical alternative to toxic anti-fouling bottom paint. SOMAY "HYCOTE" 151 has exceptional adhesion to properly prepared surfaces.
