AkzoNobel To Provide Powder Coatings for Pipeline in China
AMSTERDAM — A major infrastructure project in China that is using powder coatings on the interior of potable water pipes has specified sustainable products supplied by AkzoNobel. The agreement with Guangdong Water involves providing high-performance Resicoat R2 coatings for the Pearl River Delta water resource allocation project – reportedly the largest investment in a water diversion project in the history of Guangdong Province.
Designed to ensure the supply of clean and safe potable water to more than 50 million people, the landmark project will feature the highest water transmission pressure and the longest shield tunnel in the world, according to AkzoNobel. It consists of a mainline, a branch line, three pumping stations and four storage reservoirs.
