Pima County Cancels Protecto 401 Approval for Interior DIP Coating
October 2007
Pima County Wastewater Management (PCWMD) has identified performance characteristics of Protecto 401 ceramic epoxy lining that make it unacceptable as a coating for Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) in the public sewer system operated by Pima County Wastewater Management. Effective immediately, Protecto 401 is no longer an approved coating for DIP sewer pipe.
All projects with a PCWMD construction permit date of October 15, 2007, or later, will not be permitted to install DIP with a Protecto 401 coating. All other projects will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, with the intent of limiting the amount of rotecto 401 DIP installed. Contractors will be asked to assist PCWMD in this effort, by exchanging ordered Protecto 401 coating with the approved alternate SP2000.

October 2006
NovoCoat Protective Coating's SP-2000W epoxy coating (NSF/ANSI 61 Approved) has been selected as the exclusive epoxy protective lining for the ductile iron pipe fittings manufactured by Star Pipe Products of Houston, TX. Under the exclusive supplier's agreement with Star Pipe Products, a global manufacturer and supplier of a broad array of iron products, all lined
fittings will be available with the proven and highly requested SP-2000W epoxy coating. This strategic alliance combines Superior's industry leading 100% solids NovoCoat epoxy with Star Pipe Products customer demand for a quality coating that can contribute to the successful life cycle of the fittings. This partnership provides municipalities across the country with greater access to ductile iron fittings coated with environmentally friendly corrosion protection epoxy with a proven track record.
"We are very excited about the new partnership with Star Pipe Products" says Andy Chafin, president of NovoCoat Protective Coatings. "This powerful alliance between Star and NovoCoat allows asset owners and contractors an affordable turn-key solution from a single supplier of quality materials. Additionally, because Star Pipe Products selected a 100% solids epoxy coating they have made a conscious choice to reduce the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) released into the atmosphere."
Dan McCutcheon of Star Pipe Products states "Star continues to solidify its position as a consistent and dependable global fitting partner of the water and wastewater industry by sourcing and offering the best of class coatings for our fittings. As part of our product offering, I am pleased to announce that following a strenuous review and testing program, Star Pipe Products will exclusively offer NovoCoat Protective Coating's SP-2000W on fittings.
