Elements of Quality

The Plastocor ® Process was developed as an ultra high reliability coating process and has been used with great success since 1963.

Over this period, the process methods, and materials have been refined. This evolution has served to secure and insure Plastocor ®, Inc.'s position as the finest restoration and protection company available for tubesheets, tubes, and the balance of plant cooling water equipment.

The Process is applied turnkey. Consequently, Plastocor®, Inc. has complete authority over a project. This control means that we are totally responsible for the final installation. We back up this responsibility with extended iron-clad warranties.

In essence, we integrate three project elements. They are: Materials, Methods, and Manpower. Only by bringing these three crucial elements together can consistent quality be assured. This is our guarantee.

Materials: We start with the supply of ultra high performance coating and rebuilding compounds. These compounds are specially formulated with serviceability as the foremost concern. Ease of application is factored in as it assists with the consistent quality of the work. Generally, all materials used are 100% solids (solvent free) epoxies which are manufactured to strict quality control standards. These materials are field proven to provide very long-term performance in highly aggressive cooling water service situations.

Methods: State-of-the-art materials deserve state-of-the-art methods of application. Even the finest products will fail quickly if not skillfully applied. Better results are obtained when the coating contractor heeds manufacturer's recommendations and "good coating practices." Better... but not optimal. Optimal results are obtained when all standards are exceeded. Plastocor ®, Inc.'s methodology was developed with this optimal philosophy in mind. Our decontamination, surface preparation, environmental control, and application techniques are better than they need be and are unsurpassed.

Manpower: Outage work must be done correctly the first time. No time exists for mistakes. The people doing the work must understand what they are doing before they start, and they must be motivated to do this work well. The Plastocor ® System is applied exclusively by qualified people who have been specially trained and qualified by Plastocor ®, Inc. These technicians understand the principles behind our methods and take care to sustain excellence at every step, again and again.
