Pipeline & Tank Coatings
Buried steel corrodes, dredged slurry abrades, and neither gives you an easy second attempt. Pipeline and tank coatings have to bond directly to the metal, cure fast enough to keep a crew moving, and stay flexible through ground movement and temperature swing.
Polycoat Products manufactures direct-to-metal, 100% solids polyurethane coatings for steel pipeline exteriors, piping ID/OD, penstocks, buried tank exteriors and storage tanks.
Product Selection
| Product | Type | Select it for |
|---|---|---|
| PipePro Ultra | Direct-to-metal, quick-set two component 100% solids polyurethane | Especially formulated for water transmission piping and piping ID/OD. Excellent adhesion directly to steel and ductile iron, 1:1 mix ratio, high tensile strength, quick gel time. |
| PipeShield HAR | Direct-to-metal, quick-set two component 100% solids polyurethane | The high abrasion version. High abrasion and impact resistant, for storage tanks (interior linings and exterior corrosion protection) and water transmission piping ID/OD. |
| Polyliner 700 | Phenol novolac resin lining | Internal tank and pipe lining where chemical attack governs. Extremely chemical resistant with a high heat deflection temperature. Crude and storage tanks, petrochemical plants. |
| Polyeuro® 1050H | Spray polyurea | Water containment and lining on suitably primed carbon steel, non-ferrous metal and concrete. NSF-61 approved for direct contact with potable water. |
| TuffShield® II HAR | Spray elastomer | Dredging and mining service. Exceptional abrasion resistance and hydrolytic stability, coats carbon or mild steel without primer. |
Where These Coatings Are Used
- Steel pipeline exteriors
- Piping ID/OD and water transmission piping
- Steel pipe linings and repair
- Penstocks
- Buried tank exteriors
- Storage tanks — interior linings and exterior corrosion protection
- Steel pilings and steel poles, above and below ground
- Power plants
Why Direct-to-Metal
PipePro Ultra and PipeShield HAR are formulated for excellent adhesion directly to steel and ductile iron, which removes a primer step from the sequence. Both are plural component spray applications at a 1:1 mix ratio with a quick gel time and fast curing for increased productivity and short turnaround, and both retain low temperature flexibility.
