Advanced Anti-Corrosion Solutions for Industrial Tank Bases

Corrosion is a constant threat to the integrity of industrial tank bases, putting the safety, operational efficiency and sustainability of facilities at risk. To address this challenge, Renner Coatings has developed a high-performance anti-corrosive protection system, approved according to ISO 12944, ensuring maximum protection in aggressive environments and severe operating conditions.

Our system combines innovative technologies, selected raw materials and sustainable solutions, ensuring the durability of industrial assets and efficiency in controlling operating costs. Each component of the system is designed to work in synergy, providing exceptional performance and a protective barrier against the effects of corrosion.

The Base Protection System

Our industrial tank base painting system consists of three main stages, each designed to meet the specific demands of the operating environment:

1. Primer: Oxibar PFC 533

Oxibar PFC 533 is the first layer of the system, playing a crucial role in the initial protection of the metal surface. Its high-performance formulation includes polyamidoamine, which ensures excellent adhesion to the substrate and fast drying, even in low temperature conditions (down to 0°C). The zinc phosphate-based anti-corrosive pigment reinforces corrosion resistance, while its high solids and low VOC formulation makes the product environmentally responsible and in line with the most stringent environmental standards.

2. Intermediate: EPH 920 Mass

As an intermediate layer, EPH 920 Mass offers additional protection, forming a robust barrier against corrosive agents. This coating has a high thickness, with application of up to 2 mm, ensuring mechanical and chemical resistance in high-performance systems. The ecological formulation, with high solids and low VOC, reflects Renner Coatings' commitment to sustainability and industrial efficiency.

3. Finish: Rethane FLV 653

The finish is responsible for providing weather resistance, color and gloss retention, and long-term chemical protection. Rethane FLV 653 is a two-component paint based on aliphatic acrylic polyurethane, formulated with organic pigmentation free of heavy metals. This coating is ideal for external applications, such as tank sides, pipelines, and superstructures, combining aesthetics and functionality in a single product.

4. Concrete Sealant and Additional Protection

For concrete-structured bases, we apply a specialized sealant that prevents infiltration and protects the base against chemical attacks. This process includes hydrowashing, application of epoxy glue and protective coating, creating a waterproof barrier and significantly increasing the durability of the structure.

Why is it Essential to Protect the Base of Industrial Tanks from Corrosion?

Corrosion is not just an aesthetic problem – it compromises the structural and functional integrity of industrial tanks, resulting in serious consequences such as:

Security risks: Leaks or ruptures from corroded tanks endanger workers, nearby communities and the environment, especially at facilities that store toxic, flammable or hazardous chemicals.
Loss of quality: Corrosion can contaminate stored products, resulting in batch rejection and production interruptions.
High costs: Emergency repairs, tank replacements and operational shutdowns generate significant expenses, directly affecting financial results.
