A Tank Coating You Can Truly Draw Confidence From

A tank coating offers optimal protection for industrial, above-ground metal storage tanks. Here you’ll find what tank coatings are used for and how to choose the right one.

The Main Functions of Tank Coatings

Tank coatings are particularly useful in the process industry, especially in petrochemical applications. Here are some key functions:

Coating the exterior of a tank provides several advantages. A closed paint film helps protect the surface against external elements and corrosion;
There are industrial tank coatings that offer a thermally insulating layer to help reduce heat loss;
Some tank coatings offer both protection and a signaling function—such as coatings that change color at specific temperatures. When a tank becomes too hot, the outer layer changes color, serving as a visual warning to operators.

Choosing the Right Tank Coating

When selecting the right tank coating, your application and operational requirements should be the focus. We’re happy to think along with you. Some relevant questions to consider:

What type of metal is the surface made from? This is important for proper adhesion and application;
Will the tank be exposed to harsh environments? For outdoor use or offshore settings, protection against saltwater, rain, frost, and UV exposure is essential. In these cases, a primer is recommended for optimal corrosion resistance. This also applies to humid indoor environments;
Does the coating need to be heat resistant? For high-temperature storage, specialized heat-resistant coatings are typically used.

Applying Tank Coatings

Tank coatings are typically applied as spray coatings, though brush and roller application is also possible.

Custom Solutions Available

In some cases, finding the right tank coating calls for a custom solution. Korthals’ lacquers can provide exactly that. Our R&D specialists work closely with you to develop the ideal formula for your needs.
