Some of Enecon’s offerings are as under:

Metalclad
It is the most advanced metal repair and protection system available. Wherever erosion, corrosion, wear or chemical attacks create problems in fluid flow systems, polymer composites provide the ultimate solution. Enecon researchers have combined the latest and safest polymer technology with unrivaled fluid flow systems engineering knowhow to produce the most advanced polymer systems available for rebuilding, resurfacing and protecting virtually all fluid flow components.
Metalclad systems exhibit outstanding compressive and flexural strengths as well as phenomenal adhesion. Their ability to cure at low temperatures, their superb chemical resistance and their non-shrink properties make them the obvious choice for the maintenance engineering professional. Metalclad repair and protection systems offer incredible savings over conventional repair or replacement procedures. They come as Metalclad SpeedAlloy, Metalclad CeramAlloy and Metalclad DurAlloy

Flexiclad
It constitutes extraordinary, super-resilient polymer systems specifically developed for cavitation problems.
Systems from Enecon provide exceptional protection to equipment prone to cavitation attack and subsequent damage. Super-tough, super-resilient and cost-effective, Flexiclad DuraToughTM systems provide the sensible alternative to some of the most severe erosion/corrosion problems in industry today. They are also ideal for creating or repairing flexible seals on machinery and equipment such as on heat exchangers, pumps, valves and piping systems.  They characterise superior strength, durability and adhesion with flexibility, abrasion resistance and elongation.

Chemclad
Enecon describes it as the  ultimate in chemical protection systems because of its resistance to a very wide variety of organic and inorganic acids, alcohols, alkalis, esters, ethers, hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, ketones, oils, salts, etc.
 “Chemclad systems from Enecon are the finest chemical resistant claddings available,” says the company. “They are revolutionary polymer composites that can be easily and safely applied by brush, roller, squeegee or airless spray – even in confined spaces.”  They are useful in metal and concrete applications. They have unlimited shelf life, are 100 per cent solids, are simple to use, durable and available in ‘safety yellow’.

Enecrete DuraQuartz
Enecon has hailed the product as the finest concrete repair and protection system available.
It is a three-component 100 per cent solid, concrete repair compound specifically formulated and precisely engineered to provide solutions to even the most difficult concrete repair and protection problems.
Enecrete DuraQuartz is extremely versatile and can be mixed to any consistency from a viscous liquid to a stiff mortar. It is not only for concrete but will also bond to marble, stone, slate, terrazo, tiles and even metal.
It is the professional choice for repairing critical areas subject to shock, impact, abrasion and chemical attacks such as in containment dikes and troughs, spillways, chemical loading, storage and transfer areas, pump bases, anchor bolts, setting and grouting tiles etc.

Enecrete WP & WS
Enecrete WP is a cementitious, one-component, extremely fast selling product with the ability to stop running water through masonry structures. It is designed to be mixed with water and to stop the leak in less than a minute. It develops strength immediately, is chemically resistant, does not shrink or expand significantly, has excellent freeze-thaw resistance and exhibits thermal expansion properties similar to concrete.
Enecrete WS is a protective and waterproofing product for masonry structures subject to hydrostatic pressure. It employs a multiple curing reaction process to obtain its exceptional properties. The reactions that occur upon mixing combine the hydration reaction of calcium/silica/aluminum cement, for strength and durability, with the film-forming reaction of a polymer liquid, for waterproofing, chemical resistance and adhesion.
WS is a dual-component product that is easy to prepare and apply in the field. It is one product that can be used to solve two common problems in industry — concrete attack and water infiltration.

Eneseal HR
It is a single-component, water-based, liquid ceramic-filled membrane which cures to a durable, seamless, flexible ‘skin’ that refracts and reflects heat while providing a moisture resistant barrier to virtually any type of surface... all types of insulation, plastics, concrete, brick, block, slate, tiles, wood, metal, bitumen, glass, tar/asphalts, etc.
Eneseal HR is easily applied by brush, roller or spray. Because it’s water based, cleanup is quick and easy with soap and water. It is completely non-toxic and non-flammable.

Eneseal CR
It is a single-component, water-based coating which dries to a highly durable, corrosion resistant, elastomeric ‘skin’ that provides extraordinary environmental protection to metal and concrete/masonry surfaces. It can also be applied as a top coat over most zinc primers.
It is a ‘surface tolerant’ coating system that does not require abrasive blasting. It exhibits excellent adhesion to all types of ferrous metal as well as galvanised surfaces. Mechanical wire brushing, grinding or high-pressure water blasting is typically acceptable to achieve good adhesion.

Eneclad SuperBond
