SPECIALTY POLYMER COATINGS, INC. Single Coat 100% Solids Tank Linings
Tank Linings with 100% Solids • Excellent abrasion • Quicker turn around (3-5 times) • No VOC limitations / restrictions • No solvent entrapment • No inter-coat adhesion issues • Higher DFT achievable
Typical uses for 100% Solids linings in storage vessels • Lining of floor and walls • Hydro Carbon tanks usually lined 1 –1.5m (3.5-5.5 feet) up wall • Chemical service tanks/vessels often entire internal surface • Secondary containment
100%Solids Linings • Petro-Chemical • Sewage / Wastewater H2S • Potable Water • Acids / Alkyds • Pulp & Paper
Surface Preparation • Surface Preparation is Key!! • NACE #2 / SSPC SP10 Near White Metal – typical minimum • NACE #1 / SSPC SP5 White Metal Best (difficult on existing metal) • 2.5mil-5mil anchor profile recommend
Advantages • Better Chemical resistance • Higher abrasion values • Higher adhesion to grit-blasted steel • Higher immersion temperatures • Less expense / single coat application • Thicker films possible (longer life) • Quick curing / faster turn-around
Disadvantages • Plural Component equipment can be complicated, Experienced applicators a must! • Re-Coat times are shorter than solvinated • Off ratio application = expensive coating removal
100% Solids linings for concrete • Again Surface Preparation is Key!!! • Grit blasting recommended to remove any loose concrete, providing a clean new substrate to increase adhesion • Bug holes need to be filled (often twice) • A moisture tolerant epoxy primer best for concrete • Green concrete needs to be cured for 26 days for best results
Bug holes after primer • Often more bug holes are present after the primer has been applied • A second application is often required for best results
Special Considerations • De-Humidification may be required to hold the grit blast on steel substrates • Cold climates may require insulation on the tank exterior to prevent condensation • Heating often required to cure out coatings in cold weather
Ensuring Longevity / Quality • Choose and experienced qualified contractor • Research the lining/coating choice for the environment & contents • Have a NACE/SSPC qualified coating inspector present the entire job! • Ensure your contractor has experience with the lining/coating for your job • * If one bid is greatly lower than the rest there is a reason why!
