Feed Trough Interior Coating with SANI-TRED: A Durable, Long-Lasting Solution for Livestock Care

When it comes to maintaining a healthy and productive environment for livestock, the condition of feed troughs plays a vital role. Whether you’re managing a small farm or a large agricultural operation, the quality and durability of your feed troughs directly affect the health of your animals. Over time, these troughs can degrade due to exposure to harsh chemicals, constant moisture, and the physical impact of feeding animals. To combat these issues, SANI-TRED offers a robust and long-lasting solution: the Feed Trough Interior Coating. This coating system is designed to protect, seal, and extend the life of feed troughs, ensuring a safe and hygienic feeding environment for your livestock.

The Importance of Proper Feed Trough Maintenance

Feed troughs are an essential part of any livestock operation, providing animals with the nutrition they need to grow and thrive. However, these troughs are constantly exposed to a variety of stressors that can compromise their integrity. Moisture, bacteria, harsh chemicals, and the physical impact of feeding can all contribute to the degradation of feed troughs. When feed troughs crack, corrode, or leak, it can lead to several problems, including:

Contamination of Feed: Cracks and crevices in feed troughs can harbor bacteria and mold, leading to contaminated feed. This can cause illness in livestock, reduce productivity, and increase veterinary costs.
Increased Maintenance Costs: Damaged feed troughs require frequent repairs or replacement, leading to increased operational costs and downtime.
Reduced Longevity: Without proper protection, feed troughs can deteriorate quickly, requiring more frequent replacements and adding to the long-term costs of livestock care.
Unsafe Feeding Environment: Broken or damaged feed troughs can create sharp edges or unstable surfaces, posing a risk of injury to animals.

SANI-TRED’s Solution: A Superior Feed Trough Interior Coating

SANI-TRED’s Feed Trough Interior Coating is specifically designed to address the challenges faced by feed troughs in agricultural settings. This high-performance coating system provides a durable, waterproof, and chemical-resistant barrier that protects feed troughs from the harsh conditions they are subjected to. The SANI-TRED system is made up of three key components:

PermaFlex™: The foundation of the SANI-TRED system, PermaFlex™ is a flexible, waterproof membrane that adheres to a variety of surfaces, including concrete, metal, and wood. PermaFlex™ provides a seamless, protective layer that prevents moisture penetration and resists cracking and peeling.
LRB (Liquid Rubber Base): LRB is a self-leveling liquid rubber compound that fills cracks, gaps, and voids in feed troughs, creating a smooth, even surface. This component ensures that the coating system provides complete coverage and protection, even on rough or damaged surfaces.
TAV (Thickening Activator): TAV is used in combination with LRB to create a thicker, more viscous compound that can be applied to vertical surfaces or used to build up areas that require additional reinforcement.

Benefits of Using SANI-TRED for Feed Trough Interior Coating

By choosing SANI-TRED’s Feed Trough Interior Coating, you are investing in a solution that offers a wide range of benefits for your livestock operation:

1. Superior Waterproofing

Moisture is one of the primary causes of feed trough degradation. SANI-TRED’s PermaFlex™ membrane provides an impermeable barrier that prevents water from penetrating the surface of the trough. This waterproofing capability protects the trough from rust, corrosion, and mold growth, ensuring that the feed remains dry and uncontaminated.

2. Chemical Resistance

Feed troughs are often exposed to harsh chemicals, including feed additives, cleaning agents, and disinfectants. SANI-TRED’s coating system is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, ensuring that the integrity of the trough is not compromised by exposure to these substances. This resistance extends the lifespan of the trough and reduces the need for frequent maintenance.

3. Durability and Longevity

SANI-TRED’s Feed Trough Interior Coating is designed to withstand the physical demands of a livestock environment. The flexible yet tough nature of the coating allows it to absorb impacts without cracking or peeling, making it ideal for use in feed troughs that are subject to heavy use. Additionally, the coating’s UV resistance ensures that it will not degrade or discolor when exposed to sunlight, further extending the life of the trough.

4. Seamless and Hygienic Surface

One of the key advantages of the SANI-TRED system is its ability to create a seamless, non-porous surface. Unlike traditional coatings that can crack or peel over time, the SANI-TRED system forms a continuous membrane that eliminates seams, joints, and gaps where bacteria and mold can thrive. This seamless surface is easy to clean and disinfect, promoting a hygienic feeding environment for your livestock.

5. Versatility and Ease of Application

SANI-TRED’s Feed Trough Interior Coating can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including concrete, metal, and wood. This versatility makes it suitable for use in different types of feed troughs, regardless of their material or condition. The coating can be applied using simple tools like rollers, brushes, or sprayers, making it accessible for both DIY enthusiasts and professional applicators.

6. Cost-Effective Solution

Investing in SANI-TRED’s Feed Trough Interior Coating is a cost-effective way to extend the life of your feed troughs and reduce long-term maintenance costs. By protecting your troughs from moisture, chemicals, and physical damage, you can avoid the frequent repairs and replacements that can add up over time. Additionally, the ease of application and long-lasting nature of the coating means that you can achieve professional-grade results without the need for expensive equipment or labor.

Application Process: How to Apply SANI-TRED Feed Trough Interior Coating

Applying SANI-TRED’s Feed Trough Interior Coating is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few simple steps:

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Before applying the coating, it’s essential to prepare the surface of the feed trough. This involves cleaning the trough to remove any dirt, debris, grease, or old coatings. If there are any cracks, gaps, or damaged areas, these should be repaired using SANI-TRED’s LRB and TAV products.

Step 2: Application of PermaFlex™

Once the surface is clean and dry, apply a base coat of PermaFlex™ to the entire interior of the feed trough. This can be done using a roller, brush, or sprayer, depending on the size and shape of the trough. Be sure to cover all surfaces evenly, including corners and edges.

Step 3: Application of LRB and TAV

For troughs with cracks or rough surfaces, apply a mixture of LRB and TAV to fill in any gaps and create a smooth, even surface. This step ensures that the coating provides complete coverage and protection.

Step 4: Final Coat of PermaFlex™

After the base coat and any necessary repairs have been completed, apply a final coat of PermaFlex™ to seal the surface. This topcoat provides additional protection and creates a durable, long-lasting finish.

Step 5: Curing and Inspection

Allow the coating to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once cured, inspect the trough to ensure that the coating is even and free of any defects. If necessary, apply additional coats to achieve the desired level of protection.

Conclusion: Protect Your Investment with SANI-TRED Feed Trough Interior Coating

Maintaining the integrity of your feed troughs is essential for the health and well-being of your livestock. By choosing SANI-TRED’s Feed Trough Interior Coating, you can protect your troughs from moisture, chemicals, and physical damage, ensuring a safe and hygienic feeding environment. With its superior waterproofing, chemical resistance, and durability, SANI-TRED offers a cost-effective solution that extends the life of your feed troughs and reduces long-term maintenance costs. Whether you’re managing a small farm or a large agricultural operation, SANI-TRED’s Feed Trough Interior Coating is the smart choice for protecting your investment and ensuring the success of your livestock operation.

Past Satisfied Customers

Proven by years of experience and thousands of customers, Sani-Tred products are solvent free, non-hazardous and non-flammable. The Sani-Tred system uses three products: PermaFlex®, LRB (Liquid Rubber Base) and TAV (Thickening Activator).

Permaflex

sanirtred-basementwaterproofing-permaflex-2

Permaflex is the topcoat that seals concrete, fiberglass and metal in animal habitats. It’s also functions as a first priming coat when using LRB (Liquid Rubber Base) and TAV (Thickening Activator). The priming coat fills pores, pock holes & pinholes in the substrate.

ORDER PERMAFLEX >>

LRB (Liquid Rubber Base) and TAV (Thickening Activator)

sanirtred-basementwaterproofing-LRBandTAV These two products work together to patch and profile any joints, seams, cracks, holes or rough areas. These non-toxic waterproofing sealant products are packaged separately because different mixes are required for different applications. For example, a 1-inch diameter caulk bead of LRB/TAV (1 part TAV, 2 parts LRB) mixture is applied where the wall meets the floor.

Very pleased with the application of your products I will definitely be buying my waterproofing needs from you

Great experience with sanitred products and customer service. We used the products 14years ago to fix our cracked and leaking concrete pool. This year we resurfaced our pool with pebble. The previous cracks that were patched remain intact. We applied permaflex with a sand broadcast to those areas in prep for the bond coat. Sanitred employees walked us through the process to get our pool ready. Order was shipped promptly and secured well in packaging.

Where to begin....we would always get a bit of water on the basement floor from heavy rains so we stored eveything on tables. In 2009 we experienced MAJOR flooding where the culverts that carry the river next to our home where blocked with a beaver dam (we live in Beaver Bank, NS Canada) and the river eventually surrounded our home. The hydrostatic pressure filled our basement through the joint at the floor & footings and also a few floor cracks, the pressure was also strong enough that the water actually came in through the floor drains destroying the check balls that were supposed to stop the water!After speaking with local contractors on how to fix the problem, they all decided that their suggestions probably would not work due to the fact that the water outside and inside our basement was at the same level....there is no way digging up around the outside and putting new big O ...or sump pumps...or bubble wrap on the outside would ever work SO I started the search online and eventually came across Sani-Tred and testimonies from people who were able to completely waterproof their basement and save their homes AND it was a DIY product.Although the products are not cheap, my wife and I decided to give them a try and to this day almost 14 years later we have not had a drop of water in our basement since we installed the Sani-tred. The cost ($2,500.00) to completely water proof and Radon proof our basement was at about 25% of the cheapest contractor price to put in their water proofing system that would NOT WORK! "....and also their system would do nothing for the Radon"Since that time we have helped 5 other friend's and family water proof their homes as well and again "not a drop of water" in any of them!One of those homes was our sons who also lived in the highest Radon area in Lower Sackville...now he and family are safe from flooding and from Radon Gas!!!!!Thank you Sani-Tred.....Canada loves your products!!!!

The Sanitred Team is very helpful and dedicated to their customer's success. They have a lot of experience and always willing to help!

Bo Dingledine

The customer service is top notch as well as the products. Helped me pick out exactly what I needed for my specific situation. Would definitely recommend

NineInch Nails

Great materials. Works as advertised.

aapc. office

Everyone associated with incredible products is knowledgeable and professional when you call. The products are far superior to the box store products in quality and performance. 100% recommend any contractor or individual purchase products from them. A shout out to Mrs. Jeanine for always taking care of our orders and following through with her insight and professionalism.

Cel Dymecki

We purchased Sani-Tred waterproofing for our garage. We live on the side of a mountain and our garage is on the downhill side where winter snow thaw run-off water and summer rains (monsoons) would cause water seepage to actual flooding of the garage through the garage stem wall. We followed the two step process for filling holes/seams as well as sealing the concrete wall to floor seam. THE SEALING PROCESS WORKED FLAWLESSLY! The garage has not had any leakage since we sealed our garage over three years ago. We highly recommend Sani-Tred products!

Charles Pinner

Excellent product

Charles Edwards

I've used these products on several houses. If you follow the instructions and apply correctly, it will stop 100% of water infiltration.My only complaint is that packaging was change up and the last time I used the products it took 3 shipments before I got it without damage. Hopefully they have gone back to using the spray foam to secure product in the boxes!!Will be the company I call when in need of water proofing!!

Brian Hodge

I have used the product on two applications. The first time I used it to fill small pin holes on a livestock trailer and then painted/waterproofed the entire trailer. The second time was a repair and waterproofing of an evaporative cooler. Both times the product worked great. This product is well worth the money.

Brent Thomas

I used your product to coat my DE pool filter that had developed some pin hole leaks. Worked great for two years, and bought me some time to save for a new filter ($3500). Really good stuff, and easy to use.

Brandon Stearns

This stuff works great, I tried many other ways to keep water out, this is the only one that worked.

brandon rickman

This product was amazing. While having a high quality for great results, it was very user friendly.

Tammy Kettlehut

We used their products over 30 years ago to waterproof our basement and it’s still doing its job. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it again.

Samuel Cruz

I use tye product 2 years ago and so far no leaks, no moisture. What else to add :)

Danny Payne

Built some pretty custom projects and their service and product allowed me to get it done and done well.

JplusJ AndFourRescueDogs

After getting ridiculous estimates to have our deck (which serves as the ‘roof’ for part of our finished basement) sealed with a walkable and nice-looking surface… we found Sani Tred online and went with it! It is a VERY superior product to ANYTHING found in big box stores or even contractors- who want to lay a rubber sheet which they call a membrane to go under something like tongue-and-groove, etc…. We knocked this project out at our own pace over a weekend!Adding the non-slip ‘crumbles’ to our liking finished the resort-style look! That was more than a decade ago, and after a quick spraywash with a few drops of detergent, it is like it was done yesterday! You can even RECOAT it WITHOUT prepping the surface other than a washing- adding layers, changing the color, adding-or covering over more non-slip ‘crumbles’ in any pattern to your liking!GET THIS!!!

Char

Since we used this product no leaks or seepage. Wonderful peace of mind

Advanced Epoxy

We have been installing Sani-Tred Products for (10 plus years) with nothing but guaranteed results and even better…the customer service is solid! Whether that’s figuring out the best application for the job, how much material is needed, or simply just a quick question to be answered. Either way you will be taken care of…

Brian Longman

I had a horrible water problem at my previous house. The water table was 1.5 feet above my basement finished floor and the sump pump ran constantly. This stuff was crazy effective. Just follow the instructions. I’m not one to endorse products, but this stuff was the real deal.

John Artysiewicz

I've used Sanitred for many years now and have found it to be a consistantly great product .

Dennis Olsen

I’ve used the Sanitred products for the last 7 years. We use them on our outside projects. We use them on the interior projects when there’s a high % of vapor in the concrete. We have used them on commercial and residential projects where water literally comes up through the floor after it rains. And we’ve even applied it in temperatures of 18 degrees with an 18 mph wind chill and it cures.What’s not to love about the Sanitred products and systems. They simply work. Got ugly concrete? Sanitred has an answer. If I was to only have one “tool” In the toolbox for fixing ugly concrete or to work with, it would be the Sanitred products. The most versatile, durable, easy to use and highly effective systems out there.No matter what your issue is, if you look at the Sanitred products… I’m almost certain you will find the answer is here.Can you tell I’m a a real fan? That’s bc we have used them in so many different applications and solved so many of our customers issues with this one line of products.

Joe Schenck

I’ve been using their products for 10 years now, I started with just using PermaFlex as a vapor barrier, but their other products and their customer service have won me over on their system. I highly recommend their products and their team, awesome products sold by great people.

Gina Place

Love Sani-tred products and the entire team! Everyone is so informative, friendly and product is easy to work with! Most definitely will be coming back!!

John B

I could not be happier with the products from Sani-Tred, the help I received from Jeanine, and the contractor (Enrico Bozeman @ TDS) Jeanine put me in touch with to re-seal my backyard water feature. The advice and support about the Sani-Tred products was top notch. The guidance I received about using pool paint to product the product from chlorine and where to buy it was super helpful (Olympic Zeron paint and their custom paint service @ Kelley Tech was fantastic!). Most importantly, the job done by Enrico and his team was AWESOME!! They were super friendly, meticulous and hardworking! I am super glad I found Sani-Tred on my internet search!! I have included before, in-process and after photos to help you out.

Katie Griswold

We used sanitred to waterproof our full unfinished basement so we could finish it. We live in TN, and always had problems with water intrusion due to cracks in the concrete floor and we had water pouring in from where the pipes came into the house every time it rained, the only time our basement was not wet was mainly during the summer months and sometimes when it was too cold to rain. Anyways just wanted to give you a picture of what we were dealing with. We had companies look and they quoted us over 20 K to waterproof which mainly Included a sump pump. We spent about $6000 on sanitred and finished coating our entire basement in about two weeks. There is a pic I posted of the pipe coming into our house in our wood shop that we dry walled around.We did it ourselves with a toddler in tow, and it went great. That was three years ago, we have since not had any water or failure of the sanitred system. We opened up our basement to the main floor without concern for mold or water problems. Our son is 5 now and I can honestly say it was good to know he will be exposed to less radon as well.Let the pictures speak for themselves! (Excuse the construction zone, drywall next step). This product is awesome!!

Karen Buckner

Great product - fast delivery which is what we needed.For sure would recommend this company and will purchase from them again.

Bella Dunifon

Fabulous products & excellent customer service support! Thank you Santitred! Shout out to Donna, Jeanine & Randy! Your team is remarkably brilliant!

Jeremy Lezin

LRB plus TAV is an amazing combination. My friends and I use this combo on Alaskan Bush Wheels, which are over-sized tundra tires used on bush planes. The compound of these tires is very soft and they get worn out very quickly on asphalt. The replacement cost is exorbitant (almost $4,000 for a set of two), so discovering this compound was critical for the type of flying we do. It extends the life of the tires and when they start to run down . . . we coat them again. Thanks Sani-Tred for offering this product to the market. It works far better than anything else that we've experimented with.

Nikk Moreno

Ordered the concrete patch and it patched up our production room floor perfectly, unlike my divorce lawyers ability to patch up my broken marriage. If only I could use this product to patch up things with my wife Deborah. Deborah, baby, please don't take the kids.Thanks Sani-Tred!

Jeff Stall

Great products and excellent customer service.

eric Beach

Excellent experience. Easy to use online shopping, I got my product within days! and Sanitreead has followed up with me both times I ordered with them. Bravo to their staff.

Anna Rasa Hendrickson

SaniTred is a very durable product. We use it on our large deck/ carport cover. First time we applied it was 2009. 23 years old. We have retouched it for cosmetic purposes since the deck is flat and stubborn dirt pockets/ deck rail paint splatter accumulates on a flat surface. In Southern California it really stands up to the sun. Definitely will continue to use this product.

Response from the owner: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us Anna! Glad everything worked out for your project.

Vladimir Navia

An excellent option for interior waterproofing applications, a very professional and kind staff; Jeanine is awesome, ask for her directly!!

Response from the owner: Thanks for the kind words glad you had a good experience.

David Zell

Susan Garabedian

Response from the owner: Appreciate your feedback and 5-star rating!

Catherine Susewitz

It was a very good experience from the start. Whenever we had a question we contacted the customer service number and Jeanine always answered and was so helpful. Being able to contact the company at any time and always have someone to help was great. She's a great representative of your company and product

Response from the owner: Thank you Catherine and please let us know how we can get that 4 star to a perfect 5?
