Raven Lining Systems
Raven Lining Systems introduced the newest
additions to the AquataPoxy brand, the AquataPoxy 90 (epoxy lining) and AquataPoxy 190
(red oxide epoxy primer/finish coating). These
products will supplement Raven's existing
portfolios (AquataPoxy and AquataFlex) for the
potable water market.
The AquataPoxy brand has been around
for more than 30 years, delivering superior
and environmentally safe long-term corrosion
prevention for potable water infrastructures.
Applications range from storage tanks, water
treatment plants, aquariums and tunnels, to the
locks on the Panama Canal.
"What makes these products unique to this
industry is they were designed to be some of
the cleanest and safest protective linings on the
market today," said Tripp Ishmael, vice president
of Research & Development. "Raven's products
are some of the most trusted in the industry
due to the rigorous NSF/ANSI 61 testing for
certification purposes."
NSF/ANSI 61 certification demonstrates
the safety criteria for drinking water has been
met by these products. This includes a fast
return-to-service in as little as 72 hours.

for pH0, and greater than 75 percent for pH1.
"The results of this test allow us to continue
our expansion into the European and international markets," stated Mike Vellano, CEO of
Vortex Companies. "We are anxious to meet
with qualified contractors interested in adding
GeoKrete to their product and solution offering."
GeoKrete is used for the repair and rehabilitation of manholes, large-diameter pipes and
other sewer infrastructure requiring exceptional
structural and corrosion protection.
Since 1991, Houston-based Quadex has
developed, manufactured and delivered more
than 75 million pounds of lining and structural
restoration materials for water and wastewater
infrastructure. vortexcompanies.com

RIDGID
The new SeaSnake CS12x Digital Recording Monitor features a large screen for easy viewing, dual
battery functionality for maximum run-time, and
Wi-Fi connectivity for simple footage sharing,
allowing users to work smarter, not harder on
the job.

This latest-generation digital
recording monitor
streams and records
inspections to any
iOS or Android
mobile or tablet
device with the free
HQx Live companion app, downloadable through the iOS App
Store and Google Play for immediate sharing of
inspection footage. CS12x images can also be
saved to a USB drive for simple post-inspection
transfer to clients and team members.
A more powerful processor enables quick
startup and enhanced performance, while a 12.1inch, high-contrast display provides crisp, clear
images for each viewing in daylight. The CS12x
comes with the RIDGID full-lifetime warranty.
"Contractors want to show findings to clients
as their inspections happen. And RIDGID is
excited to now offer that capability, not only in
the CS12x, but in all of our monitoring products,"
said James McGregor, global marketing director.

Quadex
Quadex LLC's GeoKrete geopolymer has passed
the most demanding European test standard for
corrosion resistance, WXX4,as defined by DIN
19573: Mortar for Construction and Rehabilitation of Drains and Sewers Outside Buildings.
The test was created by the Hamburg Society
for urban drainage to ensure mineral-based
repair and renovation products meet a minimum standard of resistance for biogenic acid
corrosion.
"Historically the assumption has been that
all mineral based materials get more or less
destroyed by sulfuric acid and are only permanently resistant to corrosion in a pH range of
3.5 or greater," stated Neil Wisener, president
of Quadex LLC, one of the Vortex Companies.
"Having GeoKrete meet all requirements of
the DIN 19573 standard for WXX4, which is
the highest acid resistance category, is not
only great news for us, but great for the sewer
rehabilitation industry, as well."
To comply with DIN 19573 in all testing
phases, GeoKrete possessed a relative residual
compressive strength greater than 55 percent
