SR Epoxy Sealer

Long Term Immersion (LTI): the coating will be immersed in the solution for extended periods of time.

Short Term Immersion (STI): the coating will be immersed for up to 72 hours.

Splash Zone (SZ): the coating will be exposed to the solution for only short periods of time before cleaning.

Rating:
R = Recommended for use.
N = Not recommended for use.

With the wide range of chemicals and compounds used in Chemical Production these days, there’s no way to use one product. You need to consider a few things before you decide what you’ll use.

1. What’s the basic chemistry of your product in this containment or production area?

Some coatings are designed for acid service while others are specifically for caustic. There are even choices for single common chemicals like sulfuric acid. This can be tough when a single containment is common to multiple processes.

2. Will there be an abrasion from traffic, dragging pallets, steel totes etc?

This is critical. You’ll have to make your system resistant to this if you expect it to last.

3. What will the temperatures of the materials be?

You need to make sure the coating can take it or

Re-coating a secondary containment area seems to be pretty easy. I mean, it’s just paint right? Well, it may brush or roll on like paint, but chemical resistant coatings are much more. Before you jump into self-performing a coating like this, you need to consider that you might need a contractor. Here’s some things to think about.

1. What’s the level of difficulty?

If this going to be a simple re-application of primer and topcoat you should consider doing it yourself. Of course, there will be some prep required. But it should be easily done with the tools you have with some direction.

If the system is new and will require reinforcement at joints and transitions, you might want to get a professional to look at it.

You’ve chosen the right coating or lining for your project considering all of the factors. Things like operating temperature, chemicals, concentrations, expected level of protection and so on. Once this system is in place, you or your customer will have just the protection needed to protect critical plant infrastructure.

Now it’s on to make sure the system you’ve chosen will stay in place. It needs to bond to the concrete and stay there. You’ll need to prepare the concrete to present the best possible surface for the coating or lining. Sounds easy. But, the surface you have to adhere to is often not smooth or uniform. Given the fact that you need a protective system at all, it’s probably not in the best of shape. The concrete may be deteriorating, damaged and contaminated and have to be repaired to

Proper dust collection systems for mixing operations are important not only for the health and safety of your crew, but also the health of your business. If you fail to meet the OSHA standards, you could receive a serious and extremely costly violation.

OSHA’s Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard for Construction

Workers who are exposed to respirable crystalline silica dust are at increased risk of developing serious silica-related diseases. OSHA’s standard requires employers to take steps to protect workers from exposure to respirable crystalline silica.
