The Standard in Below Ground Protection
When industry leaders put their heads together, great things happen. Developed through a partnership between Valmont® Utility and Valspar Protective coatings, TriFORCE™ has set a new standard in below-grade protection. The key is combining a world- class duplex coating system with new innovations in advanced applications.
- CorroCote® II Ultra — It is an enhanced polyurethane providing the best below-grade corrosion protection available (already proven in the underground pipe market). CorroCote II Ultra exceeds the minimum industry requirements by increasing adhesion; improving abrasion, impact and chemical resistance; reducing cathodic disbondment; and decreasing water absorption and permeability.
- Duraspar® UV Top Coat — Further enhancing the protection system, Valmont Utility applies a compatible UV-stable over the above-ground portion of the coating. This top coat can also be applied over the entire embedded section if the poles remain in storage for an extended period. Valspar Duraspar provides exceptional durability and UV stability, backed by decades of proven performance in commercial uses.
- Dual Pass — This system, applied using Valmont Utility’s dual pass application method with beveled-edge finish, delivers the best corrosion protection available for any embedded utility structure.
