SPECIALTY POLYMER COATINGS, INC.

Single Coat 100% Solids Tank Linings

Tank Linings with 100% Solids

Excellent abrasionQuicker turn around (3-5 times)No VOC limitations / restrictionsNo solvent entrapmentNo inter-coat adhesion issuesHigher DFT achievable

Typical uses for 100% Solids linings in storage vessels

Lining of floor and wallsHydro Carbon tanks usually lined 1 –1.5m

(3.5-5.5 feet) up wallChemical service tanks/vessels often entire

internal surfaceSecondary containment

100%Solids Linings

Petro-Chemical Sewage / Wastewater H2SPotable WaterAcids / Alkyds Pulp & Paper

Surface Preparation

Surface Preparation is Key!!NACE #2 / SSPC SP10 Near White Metal –

typical minimumNACE #1 / SSPC SP5 White Metal Best

(difficult on existing metal)2.5mil-5mil anchor profile recommend

SSPC SP10 Near White Metal Grit Blast

Sharp welds ground smooth prior to blasting

100% Solids Excellent at covering welds and seams jeep free

Sharp angles difficult to coat / Stripe coating recommended

Stripe coating of welds

Advantages

Better Chemical resistanceHigher abrasion valuesHigher adhesion to grit-blasted steelHigher immersion temperaturesLess expense / single coat applicationThicker 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 solvinatedOff ratio application = expensive coating

removal

Variable ratio plural component equipment

Fixed Ratio Plural Component Equipment

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

Freshly blasted concrete

Filling of bug holes

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

Final application of 100% Solids NSF Epoxy

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!
