Premium protection systems for external applications

In 2008, the former company "Nord Energiesysteme Prokon" GmbH "Germany built two huge tanks for bioethanol. The containers have a height of 16.5 m and a diameter of 16 m. Because of the immediate proximity of the city to the rivers Schwinge and Elbe, but also the North Sea, the air is moistly and saline. This factor highly accelerated corrosion of steel.

To protect tanks from corrosion, inner and external coating systems was made ​​with high quality ceramic, and inspected after five years of application.

Due to salt air and already corroded steel, installation of storage tanks required several weeks to be done, while external blasting and coating were performed accurately. The interior spaces of the tanks were covered with ProGuard NC 200, two component material of special protection, highly resistant to high temperatures and chemical stress, containing microceramice particles reinforced with nano-particles Novolac resin type.

Due to its excellent chemical resistance, ProGuard CN 200 is the best choice for a secondary barrier against corrosion.

Corrosion protection system Ceramic Polymer STP provide:

1. Excellent Corrosion Protection
2. High impact and abrasion resistance
3. Good adhesion
4. Completion of ISO standard 12944-2 / Class C4 & C5

Following the inspection carried out at five years from the application shell, it was found that the polymer layer and tank walls are intact, both exterior and interior, without suffering damage due to weather or corrosion.
