Nu Flow has exclusive master license rights to the U.S. Navy patented potable epoxy and application process, the same epoxy that has been in domestic, commercial, and governmental use (formerly by APL) since the mid 1980s. No other potable water epoxy by any other lining company in North America has withstood this test of time, in installation of systems under very harsh and aggressive climatic and environmental conditions. The APL 2000 epoxy is still the best potable epoxy product in the industry today; it is strong and durable yet is thin enough that is does not restrict pipe diameter and reduce water flow. It has ample ‘working life’ in the field, and has flexible endurance to external factors such as seismic movement and freezing temperatures. Our epoxy tests to 140° but will withstand spikes in temperature of 180° in commercial, industrial, and multi-story structures. APL 2000 is listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Representative samples of this product have been evaluated by UL and meet applicable safety standards for use in drinking water pipes.
 

Nu Flow has been inventing, perfecting, installing and manufacturing cured –in-place-pipe (“CIPP”) drain lining technologies since the late 1990s. Our drain lining epoxy meets all industry standards for product integrity and durability and is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 14. Nu Flow holds two patents covering multiple drain lining products, has an additional patent pending, and retains rights to seventeen other patents with industry partner, Insituform.
