Industrial chemical tank lining

Industrial
Chemical Resistant Coatings.

Ultra-high performance lining systems engineered to protect primary and secondary containment assets from aggressive acids, alkalis, solvents, and corrosive industrial chemicals.

Containment Strategy

Engineered barriers for absolute asset security.

Aggressive chemicals don't just corrode surfaces; they compromise the environmental safety of your entire operation. A failure in primary or secondary containment can lead to catastrophic structural damage and severe legal liabilities.

We utilize advanced Novolac Epoxy and Vinyl Ester technologies that create an impenetrable molecular barrier. These systems are designed to withstand constant immersion in concentrated acids (like 98% Sulphuric Acid) and high-temperature waste streams.

Extreme Containment Technologies

Selection of material is dictated by the specific chemical cocktail, concentration, and temperature profile of the environment.

Novolac Epoxy Linings

High cross-link density resins offering elite resistance to concentrated acids and alkalis. Ideal for primary containment and chemical storage areas.

Principal Performance
Resistant to 98% Sulphuric Acid
Excellent for full immersion
Bond strength > 2.5 MPa
Solvent-free application

Vinyl Ester Glass-Flake

Systems reinforced with glass flakes to create a "tortuous path" for chemical ions. Offers superior resistance to thermal shock and oxidizing agents.

Principal Performance
Extreme thermal shock resistance
Low permeation rates
Structural crack bridging
High abrasion resistance

Bund & Pit Linings

Specifically designed for secondary containment. Provides a "catch-all" barrier that protects the surrounding environment from catastrophic leak events.

Principal Performance
7-day spillage resistance
Flexible at movement joints
Rapid-set versions available
EPA & Environmental compliant
Chemical resistant coating process
Application Integrity

Zero-pore execution.

Chemical resistant systems fail at the microscopic level if even a single "pinhole" exists. We use high-voltage spark testing to ensure total barrier integrity.

01

Chemical Resistance Audit

Detailed analysis of the chemical exposure (pH, temperature, duration) to specify the correct resin backbone.

02

Precision Surface Prep

Shot-blasting or diamond grinding to achieve the required surface profile for mechanical interlock.

03

Monolithic Application

Application of primary and secondary coats to the required dry-film thickness (DFT), monitored at every stage.

04

Holiday / Spark Testing

Using high-voltage equipment to scan 100% of the surface for microscopic pores or "holidays" before sign-off.
