PPG Launches Phenolic Epoxy Tank Coating
PPG recently launched the PPG PHENGUARD® 985 phenolic epoxy tank lining, which represents a significant breakthrough for the marine and tank storage sectors. The premium tank lining is designed to deliver extremely high chemical resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals and higher temperature resistance for chemicals that contain fatty acids. The new coating creates the opportunity to reduce tank lining application and servicing costs while also maximizing cargo opportunities. The liner’s higher thickness tolerance reduces the need for costly rework in case of over-application.
“The latest addition to our PPG Phenguard range, PPG Phenguard 985 tank lining features a patent-pending formulation that can be applied in two or three coats instead of the traditional three coats without compromising chemical resistance,” said Bart Martens, PPG global product manager, chemical protection, Protective and Marine Coatings. “This gives asset owners and contractors the flexibility to apply their preferred coating system buildup while having full confidence in the end result.”
