Chemical Storage Tanks: Lining & Repair Services

Blended for chemical immersion, AmTech’s DuraChem® 500 series Polylining system is a wall barrier that is the chemical containment answer for the 21st Century.

Storing acidic and alkaline liquids at varying concentrations and temperatures is challenging for most traditional substrates, coatings and linings. These liquids erode, corrode, emulsify and undermine the structural integrity of many steel, fiberglass and concrete tanks, greatly shortening their service life. Amtech’s DuraChem® 500 series Polylining systems are designed for such containment, and can be sprayed up as a 100% solids instant cure lining inside tanks and containments with minimal downtime. Blended for chemical immersion, DuraChem® 500 series also has similar flex modulus, elongation and adhesion characteristics as is found in the other DuraChem® 500 series linings.

Using DuraChem® 500 series for Coating Chemical Tanks

When four large fiberglass laminate tanks manufactured to store 33% ferric chloride at a new South Carolina wastewater treatment plant failed to provide a sealed storage environment for the product from day one, and after attempts by the manufacturer to do fiberglass field repairs, Amtech was contracted to spray install a monolithic shell of DuraChem® 500 series inside the tanks. The bond to the existing fiberglass was instant, becoming effectively laminated to the substrate. Problem solved.

Amtech’s DuraChem® 500 series is far more than a repair or replacement for old thin mil coatings such as epoxy. It is a true wall barrier, sometimes described as Industrial Strength Tupperware. As a 100% solids instant cure lining system, there are no VOCs to deal with and facility interruption is minimal. DuraChem 590 is truly the chemical containment answer for the 21st Century.
