Restoring your drain pan with Pancrete is cost-effective and simple. Most units are back in service in just a few hours. Experience the ease, savings, and durability of Pancrete – the ultimate choice for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of drain pans.
Pancrete mixes as a liquid that pours over the old drain pan. The liquid self-levels, and then quickly hardens to form a strong, durable surface. Pancrete is hydrophobic, resistant to chemical corrosion, and stronger than the original pan. Pancrete is the ultimate solution to repairing drain pans, adding years to the life of a viable HVAC unit.
Pancrete has been restoring drain pans for over 20 years.
HVAC and air conditioning systems are vital investments in commercial and industrial buildings. These systems often succumb to corrosion, reducing their operational lifespan. The need for premature replacements places significant strain on budgets and resources. Pancrete used along with our vertical resurfacing solution , can resurface HVAC metals, saving thousands compared to the cost of replacement.
Pancrete delivers a solution that significantly enhances the structural integrity of condensate drain pans while also providing the permanent sealing of leaks.
Pancrete: the Pan in a Can
Pours over the old pan
Self-levels
Adds years to a viable unit.
Permanent solution.
Stops damaging leaks.
Resistant to chemical corrosion
Water repellant and submersible
Pancrete is the perfect material for damp drain pan environments.
Anti-corrosive
Resistant to harsh chemicals
Forms a smooth cleanable surface
Resists growth and buildup
Repels water
The smooth, level surface of Pancrete allows for easy cleaning and consistent water flow. Unlevel surfaces allow water to pool and become stagnant. These areas provide an environment for microbial growth, resultant odors, and corrosion. The EPA states that odors arise from stagnant water in condensate drain pans. The self-leveling capability of Pancrete eliminates elevations and valleys where water pooling can occur, effectively preventing the growth and action of bacterial and fungal odors.
Pancrete's structural integrity surpasses the original material. There are drain pans that underwent Pancrete resurfacing two decades ago and remain fully operational, demonstrating its exceptional durability and longevity.
Self-Levels Condensate Pan/Drip Pan – Pancrete automatically self-levels your condensate pan, eliminating stagnant water areas.
Permanent Corrosion Resistance – Pancrete provides a corrosion-resistant surface. Pancrete is resistant to coil cleaning chemicals and aggressive condensate.
Limited Downtime – Downtime is limited to hours, not weeks. In most cases, the restoration can be completed in the evenings or a single weekend.
Low VOC Application – Pancrete has a low odor. It has less than 65 grams per liter of VOCs. The Federal standard limits for VOCs are 450 grams per liter.
Low Cost – Pancrete is the most economical way to increase the lifespan of your HVAC investment. Pancrete is a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Structural Integrity – Pancrete applies to a 1/4 inch depth or more, depending on the application. Where increased structural integrity is required, a thicker layer of Pancrete helps distribute weight over a wider area.
Easily Cleanable Pans – Pancrete provides a permanently smooth, easy-to-clean surface. It contains a fungistatic agent as part of its formulation to resist attack by microbes on its surface.
Protect your investments before problems start
Pancrete is stronger and lasts longer than the
factory installed pan. Take the initiative, use
Pancrete before corrosion starts. Being
pro-active is the best policy to prevent pan
damage and nightmare scenarios, such as leaks
that damage sensitive areas.
For a full restoration, use
to coat curved and vertical surfaces.

Before Starting: Wear safety goggles

DO NOT MIX UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO POUR
PANCRETE MUST BE POURED IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING OR IT WILL HARDEN IN THE CAN
Step 1: Drain the pain: use a wet vacuum to remove any water or loose deposits from the surface.
Step 2: Wire brush, or mechanically brush surface to remove deposits and loose rust. Vacuum a second time.
Step 3: Duct tape any small pinholes on surface, or if larger, cover with a metal sheet.
Step 4: Insert 2.5 inch PVC into drain hole and raise hole well above Pancrete level (elbow piece for side drain)
Step 5: Check the ambient temperature and the temperature of the surface to which Pancrete is to be applied. They both must be greater than 70 F
Step 6: Mix (Part A) and (Part B) together by first pouring back and forth twenty times.
Step 7: Pour Pancrete on pan surface.
Step 8: Wait 4-6 hours before returning unit to service. Do not walk on for 24 to 48 hours or until Pancrete is thoroughly hardened.
Step 9: Before putting unit back into service, hacksaw excess PVC that was inserted in step (4.) File down smooth if needed
How much Pancrete?
Pancrete is calculated at 1/4" depth. Measure the drain pan length and width to find the square footage of the pan. Refer to the chart below to determine how much Pancrete is needed.
*Note: Older condensate pans will have corroded spots, dips, high spots, and valleys causing the installation
to require more or less product. Pancrete pours seamlessly on top of itself in case more is needed.
