The anti-corrosive properties of industrial resin coating
When it comes to lining industrial tanks a robust, bacteria resistant coating is often required and always recommended. This is especially important when the tank is storing drinking water as the spread of Legionnaires disease must be avoided and choosing a suitable lining is one way of meeting these legal requirements.
Industrial resin coating is one of the most popular ways to coat water tanks and other industrial tanks. Its smooth surface is particularly resistant to bacteria growth making it an incredibly hygienic and sanitary option. It bonds securely and almost instantly with steel, fibreglass, concrete and carbon steel tanks, promising to last the lifetime of the tank. The protective lining offered by industrial resin coating means that corroded, rusted tanks do not have to be replaced. Instead they can be lined with this coating to prevent any contamination and extend the lifetime of the tank, preventing further corrosion.
Professionals will apply an industrial resin coating using brushes, rollers or spray equipment if the area is particularly large. A primer will be applied first, followed by the resin coating. A high contrast colour for the resin coat is deliberately chosen so the operative applying the coating can ensure 100% accurate coverage. The application time will of course vary according to the size of the tank but an average time is around four hours, meaning minimum disruption to a business. Coating can be done out of hours to further minimise impact. If any repairs are needed to the lining, repair kits can allow patch repairs to be carried out.
The use of industrial resin coasting is not solely limited to water tanks. It’s also a highly effective covering for any industrial floor. Providing a smooth, slip resistant floor where there was once a health and safety risk helps employers meet their legal requirements. A resin covered floor is also extremely hygienic as well as resistant to potentially damaging chemicals; two properties which make it incredibly useful in the food and chemical industries.
