Protective Coatings With up to 25 year Warranties
Protective coatings are collectively known as the application of different polymers by spray or hand application. They are notoriously known for the protection of ferrous steel and is some instances concrete.
Specialist lining services specialise in the application of protective coatings to steel as well as concrete.
Specialist Lining Services by Eurotank apply all coatings from Epoxies to Polyurea's
Our protective coatings can be applied to:
- Underground fuel tanks
- Chemical storage tanks
- Drinking water tanks
- Food manufacturing tanks
- Effluent tanks
To obtain the correct adhesion, Grit Blasting needs to always be carried out to SA2.5 standards. For this reason Specialist Lining services will always request Storage tank blasting as the only form of preparation when applying Protective coatings
Most of our protective coatings for tanks are solvent free. They are therefore less harmful to the environment as older solvent based high VOC based coatings. Solvent free tank coatings offer a quick cure and excellent chemical resistance to both acid and alkaline.
Unlike Glass reinforced plastic (fibreglass) & Polyurea, protective coatings offer no structural integrity. As a result they will require the substrate to be sound and have no movement. For this reason Epoxy solutions are prone to failure on concrete tanks. Epoxy is a great material and is in fact great as an epoxy floor lining, as well as lining Steel tanks.
Trouble free tank linings
All our Protective coatings applied to steel come with warranty’s from 5 – 25 years. This varies depending on the products used. All of our work is Dry film thickness checked and a Elcometer 266 holiday detector is used to check for pinholes and flaws before handover. In other words, giving you a trouble-free tank lining for the warranty period on offer.
