Corrosion Protection and Sealant Systems
Corrosion Prevention Allter Africa products are based on pure Polyisobutene visco-elastic technology, environmentally friendly, and developed to the latest ISO standards for Corrosion Prevention.
Protect your assets for a Lifetime, with our anti-corrosion products and Corrosion Prevention systems.
Allter Africa, the exclusive supplier of the Allter product range and services in Southern Africa, pioneers the Anti-Corrosion market. Our innovative approach tackles some of the most challenging projects in one of the world’s harshest climates.
Our corrosion protection and sealant systems actively safeguard structural assets against daily corrosion risks. The unique Polyisobutene visco-elastic properties in our self-healing systems prevent corrosion indefinitely.
Key Features:
- Maintenance-Free: Our systems require no ongoing maintenance.
- Complete Protection: They permanently shield substrates from water, oxygen, bacteria, and AC/DC current.
- Environmentally Friendly: Allter Africa offers the most eco-conscious protection systems in the coatings industry.
- Stability and Self-Healing: 100% stable and self-healing, ensuring long-lasting results.
By combining the inherent properties of Polyisobutene with additional layers of mechanical protection (PE, PVC, polyurea, epoxy, and acrylic), we guarantee corrosion protection for up to 30 years.
Although the offices and warehouses are based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Allter Africa is able to assist our corporate clients throughout the country and throughout Southern Africa.
ISO Standards
Element Monterrey/ Element Houston conducted a technical assessment of the Visco-RiteTM 70HB coating system comprising of Visco-RiteTM 70HB layer and outer wrap in accordance with the minimum requirements and test methods as specified in ISO 21809-3:2016 coating type 13-A.
Based on the observations from this technical assessment, it is concluded that the Visco-RiteTM 70HB coating system comprising of non-crystalline low-viscosity polyolefin layer and outer wrap complies with the requirements of ISO 21809-3:2016 coating type 13-A.
Guarantee
For underground use, according to the ISO 12809-3 chapter 13 and above ground use, according the ISO12944, the Visco-Rite based systems offer a 30 years guarantee against corrosion. The guarantee certificate can be applied for via our distribution network or straight from the headquarter.
Fast Facts about Allter Africa Material:
Polyisobutene technology - Firstly, BASF produces Pure Polyisobutene (PIB), which serves several essential purposes.
Regarding corrosion prevention, PIB acts as a protective barrier, shielding surfaces from corrosion caused by environmental factors, moisture, and chemical exposure.
Secondly, PIB’s molecular structure allows it to create an effective seal. It adheres tightly to surfaces, preventing leaks and maintaining integrity.
Furthermore, PIB’s inherent water-repellent properties make it an excellent choice for waterproofing applications.
Polyisobutene technology ensures effective corrosion protection over the lifetime of the applied surfaces by not crosslinking and by not aging or deteriorating over time.
The Polyisobutene technology range of products extensively used across the planet. PIB serves as an extremely efficient corrosion protection system on a vast range of pipelines, vessels, structures, and as a sealant and waterproofing system on roofs.
Polyisobutene technology is cold applied and requires no profile for adhesion. It only requires a mill scale free surface with a minimum of an ST2 cleanliness. No special tools or equipment are required, and no primer is used. Proper cleanliness can be checked in 5 minutes by a piece of the Polyisobutene material.
Most of the major oil companies worldwide use Polyisobutene technology, where they demand the highest standards from their suppliers. Regulatory authorities have approved the material for food safety (FDA) and drinking water contact (NSF). It maintains a 100% green and eco-friendly profile, containing absolutely no solvents or toxins.
Polyisobutene technology is currently protecting over 10 million m²s of pipelines and other assets under some of the most stringent environments, from the Arctic to the severest desert areas, above and below ground, on and offshore, above sea level and submerged, in the oil, gas and water industries.
Polyisobutene technology is applied directly to the substrate, be it steel, concrete, PVC, PE, glass, PU and many more, and adheres at a molecular level with ZERO CATHODIC DISBONDMENT AND ZERO UNDERCREEP as part of a visco-elastic coating system.
Our Polyisobutene technology range of products are extremely versatile and are used extensively on field joints, repairs of existing pipelines, structures and vessels, immaterial of the ‘parent` coating.
Polyisobutene technology is the only coating system that has true self-healing properties as part of a visco-elastic system.
