PRIMARY CONTAINMENT
COATING BENEFITS
ArmorThane industrial coatings are involved in the construction and rehabilitation of all types of primary containment systems. These structures may be sealed or open air with surfaces of metal, plastic, concrete or geotextile materials.
VARIETY OF ISSUES REQUIRE PRIMARY CONTAINMENT
ArmorThane industrial coatings are involved in the manufacture, maintenance and rehabilitation of all types of primary containment. Our products are perfect for holding tanks, pipelines and mobile units such as tanker trucks.
Coatings are applied to metal, plastic, concrete for water, fuel, waste and acidic or caustic compounds. With no VOC’s or solvents to leach into or absorb water or chemicals, these seamless, leak-proof coatings are safe for people, animals and plants.
PRIMARY CONTAINMENT PRODUCTS
ArmorThane Primary Containment coatings are used for metal, plastic, concrete; sealed or open air; permanent or temporary; water, fuel, waste, acidic and caustic compounds. The goal is for corrosion resistance, prevention of cross-contamination, substance integrity and protection against leaking. Here are products typically used:
KEY COATING PRODUCTS:
- Armor HiChem – polyurea: most comprehensive chemical and corrosion resistance; good skid resistance; very good impact and abrasion resistance; ideal for chemically corrosive material handling
- HighLine 310 – polyurea: sets as quickly as 2 seconds; very good impact, abrasion, and chemical resistance; consistent qualities even in extreme hot or cold climates
- HighLine 510 H – pure polyurea: excellent corrosion resistant material; superior skid resistance; harder version and more abrasion resistant version of the HighLine 510; lower sensitivity to moisture for spraying in environments that don’t allow other elastomeric coatings options.
- ArmorFoam – polyurethane expanding foam: creates an insulating underlayment for maintaining internal containment temperature; coated with polyurea or polyurethane to form a tough outer shell
WHY POLYUREA
FOR PRIMARY CONTAINMENT?
Rubber lining, paint and other surface protection simply do not last as long as polymers such as polyurea. They can also release and absorb materials causing contamination.
And, they do not have the same abrasion and corrosion resistance as polyurea. Chemically aggressive fluids will find
and exploit weaknesses found in rubber linings and paint. Many of our products are less expensive than comparable epoxy coatings
with better durability.
