OVERVIEW: Chemcote was contracted to apply acid protection to a newly constructed delivery and storage tank bund. We developed a comprehensive acid-resistant and anti-slip solution that provides the owner long-term peace of mind and ensures this asset will be protected for years to come.
INDUSTRY
Aluminum Refinery
ENVIRONMENT
98% Sulphuric Acid
SUBSTRATE
New Concrete
CHALLENGE
The asset owner required internal protection for their new 500m² delivery bund and storage tank area
SOLUTION
Acid etch all surfaces to be coated to achieve a suitable ‘key” for coatings application
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces to neutralize the surface prior to the application of coatings
Apply one coat of RH 800 @ 100µm DFT
Repair cracks and holes using compatible epoxy filler
Apply one coat of RF 500 Blue @ 250µm DFT – 300µm DFT
One coat of RF 500 Grey @ 200µm DFT – 250µm DFT whilst introducing a non-slip medium during application
Finish with one full coat of RF 500 Grey @ 150µm DFT – 200µm DFT
PRODUCTS
Primer- Damp-crete™ RH 800
Finish – Epo-Chem RF 500
