Benefits of polyurea coating on industrial tanks: protection against corrosion and leaks

Polyurea is a high performance elastomeric coating used worldwide in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. With years of experience, FCC's unique chemical formulations result in a tough and flexible protective layer.

In the context of storage tanks, polyurea can be used in a variety of sectors, such as chemical, petrochemical, water and sanitation, oil and gas industries, among others. It contributes to safety, extends the service life of tanks and considerably reduces downtime and maintenance costs.

 

When applied to tanks, FCC Polyurea offers a number of benefits:

- It creates a waterproof barrier that protects the tank from leaks and corrosion;

- It has excellent chemical resistance, being able to withstand corrosive, acidic and alkaline substances present in some liquids stored in the tanks;

- Quick application and release, plus ease of repair and maintenance when required;

- High impact resistance;  

- It can withstand temperature variations and has good adhesion to different materials such as metal, concrete and plastic;

- Increased useful life of goods and assets.

 

FCC enforcement and quality:

The application of FCC Polyurea is carried out through a spraying process, in which the substance is applied directly to the surface of the tank. This method, used by our team and partners, allows a uniform and fast coverage, even on complex surfaces. This entire application process is monitored and validated, from surface preparation, control of climatic conditions, application window to final thickness measurement, with adhesion tests and witness sample registration, ensuring batch traceability.
