Fiberglass fabric reinforced systems are typically 1/8"
thick systems that are trowel applied in 60 mil layers of a
basecoat and topcoat with resin saturated 10 ounce
fiberglass fabric in between. This is known as a "contact
molded" or "hand layup" system similar to the technique
used in fabricating fiberglass tanks and boats.
Secondary Containment Lining Systems
1.
Keep hazardous materials from contaminating
the surrounding environment as mandated by
state DEP and federal EPA regulations
2.
Protect expensive structural and process
investments with minimal required
maintenance, repairs or replacement.
Federal and state EPA/DEP requirements for
secondary containment mandate the containment
must hold any spills, catastrophic or otherwise, from
leaking into the surrounding environment for a
period of at least 72 hours.
There are a number of secondary containment
coating or lining selections that can be made
depending on the volatility of product or chemicals
being safeguarded. They can range from a
corrosion resistant coating to fabric reinforced
lining to thermoplastics. Design and selection
considerations besides catastrophic spill
containment are splash & spill protection due to
occasional equipment leaks, potential physical
abuse, thermal extremes or cycling, vehicular or
pedestrian
traffic activity and safety as well as economic and
budgetary constraints.
Rezklad Spray Applied Coatings
Rezklad 135S is a sprayed system that quickly
applies a 1/8" (125 mil) textured non-slip
novolac epoxy coating on horizontal, vertical
and overhead areas. The 135S and the Rezklad
125S-AR (Abrasion Resistant) system are widely
used as linings in the water/wastewater
treatment industry, The material is designed to
spray through a carrousel spray hopper that
forced the material to a wand where 60psi
airstream atomizes the material into a spray
pattern.
Chempruf Lining Systems
Chempruf systems from Atlas Minerals &
Chemicals, Inc. are both primary and
secondary containment lining. The
product line ranges from a high build
fiberglass flake reinforced 20-30 mil
coatings to a 600-100 mil trowell applied
mortar system to a multi-layer mortar
and a fiberglass fabric reinforced
laminate system. These systems offer
the selection of epoxy, furan, polyester
and vinyl ester binder resins..
Fiberglass flake in the coating and trowel systems
prevent permeation of liquids through the lining and
the add a considerable tensile strength and
abrasion resistance. The resin selection and the
fiberglass filler make the material chemically insert
to a wide array of corrosive materials.
