The C.I.M. headquarters in Peterborough, NH has power again after the ice storm that left New Hampshire in a state of emergency.
We appreciate your understanding during this period.
Happy Holidays.

There are keywords and phrases that should trigger the though of using CIM products for a variety of field applications. Each project had its own list of problems that will need to be solved.CIM polyurethane coatings have the ability to be flexible and handle substrate joint movement. This is demonstrated by our superior crack bridging capabilities on concrete. CIM can also be used to coat over and used in conjunction with dissimilar materials. CIM self-adheres to most substrates such as concrete, steel wood and fiberglass. CIM can also be applied over earth with the use of geotextile fabric CIM Scrim. CIM's abrasive resistance allows it to be used in parking decks and in normal applications wher other products may require a protection board. CIM has excellent chemical resistance to many acids and bases and can be used for secondary and primary containment. CIM is used because of its UV resistance and seamless application and it easily applied around penetrations. CIM has a quick turn around time. Under normal circumstances, CIM can be applied to an application and be put back into service within 24 hours. CIM offers products that are ANSI/NSF 61 approved for potable water and USDA approved for incidental food contact. CIM also manufactures industrial coatings that are 100% solid containing no VOCs and are fire resistant.
Use the CIM Coating Evaluation to see if CIM is the right solution for your project.
When competing against other products, using CIM can save the owner money both short term and long term. CIM can save labor and equipment costs especially with projects with complex shapes or penetrations. CIM forms a seamless liner, so there are no worries about seam failures. The asphalt extended polyurethane formula makes CIM very abrasion resistant. However, if the liner does get damaged, CIM can be easily repaired. This keeps long term costs down and the portion that was repaired will retain its original properties. CIM is a true elastomer and can stretch many times beyond its original size and return to its original size without loss of properties. It remains flexible at extreme temperatures. CIM also has the ability to bridge cracks up to 1/4 of an inch. With the changing seasons, a big advantage of being an elastomer is CIM’s ability to move with the substrate. As the concrete or steel expands and contracts with the changing temperatures, the CIM moves right along with it. While this article only covers a few advantages, if you are looking for a specific advantage, please contact our office. Our staff will provide you with the technical information that is necessary to help you.
