Epoxy coating: what is it?
A thick, protective substance called epoxy coating is applied to steel tanks like aerosol tin cans to prevent external damage. Epoxy coating is widely used for aerosol tin can containing different solvents
due to its exceptional durability.
How is Epoxy Coating Made?
Epoxy is created by polymerizing a mixture of two compounds, resin and hardener. Once the resin is mixed with a hardening catalyst, the curing process begins.
What is Epoxy Coating Used For?
Epoxy coatings provide optimum protection against abrasion, turbulence, corrosive fluid,s and extreme temperatures. Epoxy coating is not only durable but also resistant to many corrosive substances. Epoxies are a top choice for many industrial coating applications, including steel, metal, concrete, and more.
Benefits of Epoxy Coatings
Some of the many benefits of epoxy coatings include: Durability, Non-Toxic, Weather Resistant, Impact Resistant, Chemical Resistant
Once epoxy cures, it becomes a hard finished surface. Most equipment manufacturers use white enamel paint because it is cheaper. With enamel paint, you will have to repaint tanks much more often due to rust, and that includes tanks that reside indoors. Epoxy paint coatings
will last approximately five years, even if the tank resides outdoors.
Many steel processing tanks like aerosol cans are placed outdoors, which may have the possibility to cause corrosion issues. With an epoxy tank coating, your steel container will be able to withstand extreme temperatures, such as up 390 degrees Fahrenheit. It will also be water-resistant.
As we discussed in our previous post, epoxy paint is powerful and durable, which makes it impact-resistant. This means that your coating will not crack, split or fracture on impact.
Chemical corrosion is common in industrial plants because harmful chemicals are often used for cleaning and machinery operations. An epoxy coating is ideal because it will protect your tank from these harsh chemicals. Don’t let an accidental spill or leak ruin the exterior coating of your tanks! Storage tank corrosion can cause serious issues with production. Not only can it cause contamination, but can lead to massive destruction of a tank if left unaddressed.
