Secondary Containment Liners
The EPA’s SPCC (Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure) regulations require most companies in the U.S. to put in place plans that ensure containment and other countermeasures to prevent oil spills that could reach navigable waters. Facilities such as aircraft deicing areas, landfills, dike areas around fuel storage tanks in airports and refineries all must anticipate spills and have means of containing them.
Tank Coatings and Liners
As mentioned in our previous article, The Importance of of Secondary Containment Protective Coatings, corrosive environments are also a huge factor with secondary containment, thus the importance of having protective coatings to protect your container from being damaged. Heavy traffic and weather elements can cause damage to secondary containment areas if they are not properly coated.
PES Solutions offers PES-Chem 501 and 511, as well as many other options which are ideal for applications where deterioration and damage may result to secondary containment areas due to environmental conditions. Installations of protective coatings can often be achieved in a single day, with return to service within the 24 hours of completion. This is because our protective coatings are capable of being applied in thicknesses of up to 100 mils [2.5 mm] in a single pass with no appreciable sagging.
Advantages of Protective Coatings for Liners
Protective coatings are often used as a protective material for secondary containment tanks and structures. Our protective coatings offer excellent adhesion to properly prepared surfaces. PES-Chem 501 and 511 combine high tensile strength and elongation properties with low permeability and high impact resistance, making them great where a tough, flexible (or hard) liner is needed.
