About Us

Who We Are

Welcome to Acothane UK Limited. We are the exclusive manufacturer supplier of the Acothane portfolio of solvent‑free, high‑performance polyurethane protective coatings. The Acothane range of products were established over 40 years ago and have an exceptional track record across some of the most demanding environments in the water sector.

As a trusted partner to the UK water industry, we support asset owners, contractors, and supply chain partners with reliable and compliant solutions for critical infrastructure. Our team collaborates closely with water‑industry term contractors to maintain alignment with operational standards, safety requirements, and asset‑protection best practices.

We supply advanced protective coating systems for the water industry, covering both potable‑water vessels (Acothane DW) and wastewater pipelines/non potable pipelines (Acothane Wasteseal) to ensure long‑term asset integrity and regulatory compliance.

Acothane DW is a solvent‑free, two‑part polyurethane protective coating specifically engineered for assets that store or transport drinking water. It’s widely used across the UK water industry because of its regulatory approvals, durability, and long service life.

Acothane Wasteseal is a carbon‑fibre‑reinforced, solvent‑free hybrid polyurethane lining system designed for structural rehabilitation and protection of wastewater and non‑potable pipelines. It’s widely used in no‑dig and in‑situ pipe renewal because of its strength, durability, and extremely fast cure time.
