cULus Listed as corrosion resistant.

The corrosion resistant coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the approving agencies indicated in the Approval Chart. These tests cannot and 

do not represent all possible corrosive environments. Prior to installation, verify through the end-user that the coatings are compatible with or suitable for the proposed 

environment. For automatic sprinklers, the ENT coating is applied to all exposed exterior surfaces, including the waterway.
