LINE-X Commercial HVAC Unit Case Study - Corrosion Protection and Containment

The Challenge - Commercial HVAC units are a major investment for your business. Over time, drip pans rust, corrode and eventually leak. “Ponding” and seepage lead to leakage into interior spaces. The resulting structural and cosmetic damage can cost a fortune to repair. Mold removal and abatement, lost time and use, all take their toll on your bottom-line. Replacing the drip pans can often require taking the unit out of service altogether. In many cases, the unit may have to be removed just to gain access for repairs and replacement.

Water intrusion into the interior structure can cause extensive damage to ceiling tiles, sheet rock, furnishings, fixtures and contents. In some cases, the damage or loss of use may be irreversible. With a preventive application of LINE-X Protective Coatings before damage occurs, your facilities can be spared the hardship of down-time and the expense of repairs, replacement permanent loss of valuable equipment.

The Solution - A seamless, durable, professionally applied LINE-X Coating provides a permanently bonded, water-tight barrier. Applied directly over the existing foam insulation, thermal properties remain in-tact, preventing build-up of condensation. Water is contained without seepage and leakage that can damage the surrounding or underlying structure. The LINE-X Coating is applied in-place, eliminating the need for costly and re-installation of equipment.

The Process - Depending on the substrate/construction and existing conditions, your LINE-X Professional will select the appropriate prep materials and techniques. Little more than cleaning and sanding may be required to remove debris and contaminants. Cracks and holes will be filled or repaired prior to application of LINE-X. Some jobs may involve more in-depth preparation to ensure a successful application. Count on your LINE-X Professional to provide a custom solution, whatever your needs.

The Result - Dramatically reduced maintenance and repair costs to your equipment. With a permanently bonded, water-tight, abrasion resistant barrier, you will enjoy years of maintenance-free operation and out-of-pocket savings.
