Hydrothane Systems produces and markets the patented Hydrothane non-metallic trashrack.  Hydrothane is headquartered in Pembroke, MA,  and has knowledgeable trained  sales representatives located throughout the USA and Canada to provide prompt personal attention to your water intake needs.

Hydrothane trashracks are also produced and sold through our Scandinavian licensee, Hydrothane Scandinavia based in Ski, Norway.

Hydrothane was originally developed and patented in 1988 to address problems and deficiencies associated with conventional steel trashracks.   U.S. Patent #4846966 and Canadian Patent #1279683.

Since its inception, Hydrothane has been recognized for its superior resistance to frazil ice.  Simply stated, frazil ice does not easily attach to Hydrothane trashracks.   After routine installations in salt water and zebra mussel infested fresh water, it was discovered that the same properties that prevent frazil ice attachment also restrict the growth of marine organisms on the racks themselves, thus spawning another benefit to our customers.

In 1999 Hydrothane's original founder, Mr. Joseph Pastore, sold the company.  The new owners have committed resources and personnel to growing the company into the 21st century.   In addition to branching into new market segments Hydrothane Systems is strengthening its capabilities to provide end users and designers the necessary data to properly determine load stresses, design parameters and engineering for all types of trashrack installations.
