Why Polyurea Is The Ultimate Tank Lining Solution

    WHY POLYUREA IS THE ULTIMATE TANK LINING SOLUTION

    the ultimate
    tank lining solution

    Polyurea tank lining technology is flexible, abrasion-resistant, and incredibly chemically resistant. It’s also ideal for use in the wastewater industry, where it can contain potable water and food. With proper prep work, polyurea coatings provide unmatched adhesion that will last decades. They are a much better alternative to fiberglass, epoxies, ceramic coatings, and other mat-reinforced lining systems.

    wastewater industry

    The wastewater industry is the largest overall industry current using polyurea tank linings. This is because they are able to withstand the majority of chemical and biological gases that wastewater treatment plants produce. Additionally, anti-microbial additives may be added to the polyurea to stop the growth of microbes on the liner. The most important thing is that polyurea coatings create a unidirectional membrane. This means they can be molded into pumps, poles, or other inner structures. Large-diameter pipes, as well as manholes and lift stations, are ideal models for polyurea. Polyurea can be found in hard-structured formulations to strengthen pipes and manholes. Because they are sprayed on linings, they conform precisely they create the ideal structural coating.

    Polyurea stands out as the choice for water tanks due to various reasons. Initially, it gained approval from the USDA and NSF for meeting ANSI NSF 61 standards, guaranteeing compliance with regulations for water containment. Polyurea doesn’t release any substances into the water, making it a trustworthy option for preserving drinking water. Its seamless design eliminates any joints or seams where bacteria or contaminants could thrive, offering a sanitary setting for storing water. Moreover, polyurea exhibits durability and resistance to chemicals and wear, ensuring an enduring lining for potable water storage purposes.

    practical applications

    One of the most frequent issues we encounter is that the tank cracks where it connects to the frame. Because of this, it is possible that the polyurea tank lining is installed with a floating section above the affected area, which means that should it crack or move in the future, it won’t cause damage to the liner. Because the polyurea is pliable and has over 300% elongation, it is the ideal solution for applications that require extreme flexibility.
