However, there are many others that, though not commonly called "pollen beetles", do feed avidly on pollen, including species in the following: Among the Melyridae the most prominent example of a species commonly referred to as a pollen
Water-based pipe coating Water-based pipe coating A water-based pipe coating is an environmentally friendly coating that is applied to the inner and outer surfaces of ductile iron pipe. The coating serves to protect the water supply lines from corrosion whether from the outside or the inside. It also serves to protect the drinking water from contamination. The coating is an emulsion manufactured using asphaltene and water primarily, with other raw materials according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Water-based coatings began development in the late 1980s. In the early 1990s they began to be widely used, specifically marketed towards drinking water supply lines. Previously, water
