Abstract:
Methods, processes, compositions and systems for preventing leaching effects from water pipes (such as lead, steel and copper) having an inner diameter of at least approximately 12 mm. 2-part thermoset resin coating is applied to the inner surfaces of the pipes where the curing agent can be a phenol free and plasticizer free adduct type. The coating can reduce heavy metals, such as lead, from leaching from installed pipes to less than approximately 10 μg/L (10 ppb). When cured, specific leachates, Bisphenol A and Epichlorohydrin from the coatings will be (less than)<1 μg/L (1 ppb) with overall TOC levels measured at (less than)<2.5 mg/L (2.5 ppm). Pipes can be returned to service within approximately 24 hours, and preferably within approximately 4 hours. The methods, processes, compositions and systems can work with non-metallic pipes having metal valves and/or metal fittings.

Claim (Index 5):
The process of  claim 1 , wherein the coating step includes the step of:\n coating the interior surfaces of the non-metallic water service pipes and the inside surfaces of the at least one metal fitting \u201cin place\u201d without having to dismantle the water service pipes from the at least one metal fitting.
