A selection of the possibilities: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coating the outside of the tank wall offers several advantages. By applying a sealed paint film, the underlying surface is better <strong>protected against external influences and rust formation<\/strong>; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are industrial tank coatings for applying a thermal insulation layer to <strong>reduce potential temperature losses<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, in addition to coatings that protect the tank itself, there are also tank coatings that protect and have a signaling function. Consider coatings that change color at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.korthals.nl\/en\/varnishes\/therm-o-signal\/\">certain temperatures<\/a>. If the surface of the tank is at risk of becoming too hot, operators will notice this quickly because the outer paint layer changes color and thus <strong>emits a warning signal<\/strong>.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding a suitable tank coating<\/h2>\n\n<p>When selecting a suitable tank coating, your applications and business processes must be central. We are happy to assist you in this area. Some relevant questions when selecting the right tank coating:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What metal is the surface to be coated made of? <\/strong>This information is important during coating and for achieving optimal adhesion;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Is the tank exposed to harsh conditions?<\/strong> For outdoor use and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.korthals.nl\/en\/applications\/offshore-en\/\">offshore applications<\/a>, protection against salt water, rain, frost, and UV radiation is desired, for example, and a primer is recommended for optimal corrosion resistance. This advice also applies to use in damp indoor areas; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Does the coating need to be heat-resistant?<\/strong> For high(er) temperature storage, special <a href=\"https:\/\/www.korthals.nl\/en\/varnishes\/heat-resistant-varnishes\/\">heat-resistant coatings<\/a> are often applied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Applying tank coating<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>A tank coating is generally applied as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.korthals.nl\/en\/news\/industrial-spray-coating-for-metal-and-wood\/\">spray coating<\/a>, but can also be applied with a brush and roller.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customized solutions also available<\/h2>\n\n<p>In some cases, finding a suitable tank coating requires a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.korthals.nl\/en\/product-development\/\">customized approach.<\/a> You can also turn to Lakfabriek Korthals for this purpose.
