The basin is the foundation of any cooling tower—and it's also the component most vulnerable to corrosion, cracking, and leakage. EvapLiner, EVAPCO's proprietary fire-retardant protective coating, has become the gold standard for basin restoration and protection.
What Is EvapLiner?
EvapLiner is a high-performance, reinforced coating system specifically engineered for the harsh wet environment inside a cooling tower basin. It bonds directly to concrete, steel, and FRP surfaces to create a seamless, waterproof barrier that resists biological attack and chemical degradation.
When Should You Consider Basin Coating?
Basin coating is recommended when inspections reveal visible rust pitting, surface cracking, active seepage, or biological staining. Acting early—before structural failure—dramatically reduces the cost of intervention.
The Application Process
Our factory-trained applicators follow EVAPCO's certified process: surface preparation (blast or power-tool cleaning to bare metal), primer application, and multiple EvapLiner coats. The result is a smooth, durable surface that outperforms generic epoxy coatings in both lifespan and adhesion.
Properly applied EvapLiner can extend basin service life by 15–20 years, making it one of the most cost-effective investments in cooling tower maintenance.
