Advantages
Tank lining advantages
using 100% solid epoxies:
We use a lot of
thick-film products over thin-film products because thin-film
coatings require several coats to reach a specified DFT thickness.
Thick-film coatings and linings are applied in a single coat
at a thickness between for 20 to 250 mils DFT, thereby reducing
labor cost and increasing the speed with which the area is
returned to service.
There are no inter-coat adhesion
problems when using single coat systems. Multiple coats systems
increase the risk of inter-coat adhesion problems thereby
making application more difficult. Using a single coat system
can eliminate inter-coat adhesion problems.
- 100% solid epoxies lining
systems have little or no VOC’s making these coatings
less hazardous to apply.
- 100% solid epoxies lining
systems are fast curing usually within hours rather than
days. This fast cure advantage substantially reduces the
related cost of a tank or containment area being out of
service.
- 100% solid epoxies lining
systems offer superior impact and abrasion resistance compared
with thin-film coatings. This is important to the life of
the coated area.
- 100% solid epoxies lining
systems offer excellent chemical resistance for continuous
immersion in harsh environments.
- 100% solid epoxies lining
systems will reduce the cost of a job, from labor cost to
the cost related to a tank, vessel or secondary containment
being out of service thus minimizing the cost to our customers
in lost service and production time.
- 100% solid thick-film epoxies
lining systems will extends the life of the tank, vessel
or secondary containment over thin-film system.
