Corr-Tite Applications

Corr-Tite is a versatile product with many unique applications. The key applications are detailed below.

Manhole Linings
Lined Precast
Lined Structures
Lined Foundations

Manhole Linings

Corr-Tite lined manholes are simple, drop-in-place linings. These lined manholes are easy to produce and are extremely resistant to corrosion in the manhole interior.

The precast concrete manufacturer simply lines the manhole molds with Corr-Tite LLDPE, HDPE or PVC Concrete Protective Liner (CPL) and then casts the risers (segments) in the normal manner. The finished risers with the integral Corr-Tite liner are delivered to the field and placed. Then, the Corr-Tite lining from one segment is simply welded to the adjacent segment lining by means of extrusion welding or hot-air welding (by Resicon trained or approved technicians). Manhole inverts and other openings for penetrations in the manhole wall can either be lined with Corr-Tite wrapped around the hole former and welded to the Corr-Tite in the manhole, or produced by Resicon's Couple-All radial sleeves or multi-material coupling.

Key features:

• Easy to install and test
• Final welding is completed in the field
• Three materials to choose from
• Completely corrosion resistant

Lined Precast

Lined precast elements such as sumps, boxes, channels and tanks are extremely resistant to corrosion when lined with Corr-Tite LLDPE, HDPE or PVC CPL.

The precast concrete manufacturer simply lines the precast mold with Corr-Tite prior to placement of the concrete. Openings for penetrations of any sort are lined at the same time by wrapping the Corr-Tite around the former for the opening and extrusion welding or hot-air welding the Corr-Tite onto the main Corr-Tite liner, or by means of Resicon's Couple-All Multi-Material Coupling. All Corr-Tite and penetration opening welding is usually done prior to pouring.

Key features:

• Easy to install and test
• Completely factory welded
• Three materials to choose from
• Completely corrosion resistant

Lined Structures

Structures such as municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants, domes, concrete containment vessels, large sumps and tanks that are lined with Corr-Tite Concrete Protective Lining (CPL) are completely protected from corrosion by the Corr-Tite liner integrally attached to the walls, floor or ceiling of the structure. Additionally, Corr-Tite CPL can be used to contain many chemicals and most aggressive liquids. The Corr-Tite is attached to the formwork prior to placement of the concrete and is welded by extrusion welding or hot air welding after the formwork is stripped -- creating a corrosion and leak-tight structure.

Key features:

• Easy to install and test
• Three materials to choose from
• Completely corrosion resistant
• Can be designed to be completely liquid and gas tight
• Bridges cracks in the concrete

Lined Foundations of Buildings

Buildings have unique problems when it comes to protecting foundations and the buildings on those foundations from aggressive soils, water intrusion or harmful gases from radon, methane, or soil and groundwater contamination. Subsoil movement after the building is constructed can virtually destroy any loose-laid sheet or spray-on lining system, causing serious breaches in the barrier, directly affecting the longevity of the building foundation and the health of the persons who use the building. Corr-Tite is placed, welded and tested before the building slab or foundation walls are formed and poured, and is tough enough to withstand the construction above it while the forming and pouring process is done. Additionally, since Corr-Tite locks on to the underside of the slab and the foundation structures, no amount of soil settlement will affect its integrity. Corr-Tite can also be applied to pile caps prior to any foundation work, and these can then be made integral to the rest of the foundation lining.

Key features:

• Easy to install and test
• Rugged. Can withstand construction work over the liner without protection
• Two materials to choose from
• Completely corrosion resistant
• Completely gas tight
• Impervious to soil settlement
