Why Do Drinking Water Tanks and Pipelines Need Food Grade Coating

Posted by Alvin Smith on May 14th, 2021

Food grade coating is the process through which different food-related items such as pipelines, appliances, etc. Are coated with layers of powder, liquid, etc., to provide wide varieties of advantages such as resistance to salt, anti-fungal functions, anti-corrosive functioning, air dying, etc.

Due to the above-mentioned benefits, food grade coating is used worldwide not only in food preserving appliances and foods but also in water pipes and water tanks too to keep the water clean, safe, and risk-free for human consumption.

Hence the aim of this article to explore more about water pipe coating and inform the readers about various aspects of it such as benefits, the technology used, etc.

What is cleantech PW?

Cleantech PW is a type of water tank that uses pipe coating technology. They make use of solid epoxy coating which is 100 percent authentic. They provide different types of tanks such as overhead tanks, underground tanks, and also pipelines and reservoirs using this technology. The coating technology used in cleantech PW is solvent-free which is made by using resin that is specifically extracted for this purpose.

This resin also functions as a hardener and is non-toxic which makes it fully suitable to use in places like water tanks, pipelines, reservoirs, etc. Which holds water to be consumed and used by humans. It is designed in such a way that long-time contact with water also does not cause any harm to humans and does not release any kinds of toxins. It also serves as a waterproofing layer thus preventing damage to the water pipes and water tanks, thus making them much harder and long-lasting, thus cost-effective.

Places where these water tanks can be used-

We have already mentioned the characteristics of a cleantech PW water tank and the water pipe coating technology it uses. Now we will mention the places where these tanks, pipelines, reservoirs, etc. Can be used daily

• Pharma uses these tanks to store and handle potable water.

• Biotechnology-related companies which need handling of a large quantity of water can make use of these water tanks.

• Food and drink manufacturing companies that require handling potable water can also benefit from these tanks which use pipe coating technology.

Cleantech PW is certified by the following-

• Water regulatory advisory scheme (WRAS) from the United Kingdom which marks it safe to be used for holding potable water for long periods.

• It is certified by Central Food Technological Research Institute in India making it safe to be used in the Indian environment.

Thus, it can be rightly said that Cleantech PW is one of the most authentic and safe water tanks available in India for everyday use. One can easily opt for the same without a tinge of doubt. 

It can be assured that customers would not be disappointed by this product and would largely benefit from it. It must also be mentioned that cleantech PW meets the BS 6920:1:2:2000 requirements, meets global migration standards as laid down by US FDA 175.300.

Till now we have discussed food grade coating. But what are the advantages of it? Let’s discuss it below. 

Why food-grade coating is essential and What are its advantages-

• Provide top-class adhesion preventing damage to the water tank.

• Makes the water stored in the tank impermeable thus providing safety to the water from becoming impure.

• Makes the water free of any kind of solvent.

• Multiple coating of layers not required.

• Prevents friction to a large extent by providing a seamless lining on the water tank surface thus making the tank much more durable. 

• It provides resistance from abrasion. It has to be noted that abrasion is a huge problem so when the solution is offered where resistance from abrasion can be made possible, it should be given a chance.

• One of the most important advantages of food-grade coating is that it is totally environment friendly and is pollution-free.

Conclusion: It is recommended that one must necessarily opt for a water tank making use of food-grade coating technology due to its wide variety of benefits as discussed in this article.
