Drinking water tanks must be designed and constructed in a way that guarantees that water quality is not adversely affected in bacteriological, chemical, physical and biological terms. Coating systems for drinking water structures should therefore show the lowest possible porosities and a high degree of impermeability.

With the system components of MC-RIM PW MC-Bauchemie offers mineral coatings that meet all of these requirements. The technology is based on the newly developed DySC®-Technology (Dynamic SynCrystallisation) – invented by MC. By way of a new binder agent combination impermeability and resistance of the coatings actually increases during use. The binder agent matrix is being refined through re-crystallisation processes and new mineral formations. Long-term tests by an external test institute prove that the coating’s overall porosity decreases and that pore radius distribution is optimised. The dynamic growth process thus builds up optimal long-term protection.

The tested and approved MC-RIM PW system comprises corrosion protection, bonding coat, concrete replacement and surface coating. The system components can be used in horizontal, vertical or overhead areas. Application can either be done by hand or using the spray method. With MC-RIM PW any kind of project task with regard to the concrete repair of drinking water structures can be performed.
