Lasting protection against salt-laden air. More safety for metal structures

 

 

Eliminating factors that may affect the equipment guarantees you low maintenance costs. For this, it is necessary to analyze the surfaces and substances that can affect material quality. Technical solution identified in the following case study provides long lasting protection for container biomass. Take some time and see how can you apply this method for your business.

 

Project Information

 

Corrosion protection for the roof of a biomass tank

Project: Coating of trapezoidal sheets for roof constructions

Tanks:  2 silos for biomass (wood chips and barks)

Dimension:  Each tank has a diameter of 22 m and a capacity of 8.500 m³

Location: Farmsum, Netherlands

 

Technical solution for aggressive environment

 

Coastal climate, with humid and salt- laden air, increases the risk of corrosion on metal surfaces. To ensure long-lasting corrosion protection for the container roof, trapezoidal sheets are protected on both sides with Ceramic Polymer product SF / LF product.

 

About Ceramic Polymer SF / LF

 

It is a ceramic two-component epoxy polymer that creates a layer for corrosion and abrasion protection. It can be applied to a wide range of metal surfaces, fiberglass, reinforced plastic, concrete surfaces in aggressive environments.
