Objectives

  • Evaluate real-world case studies demonstrating the long-term performance of water storage tank linings over multiple decades.
  • Explain how thicker, 100% solids tank lining systems—such as epoxies and elastomeric polyurethanes—create dense, corrosion-resistant films that enhance long-term protection.
  • Explain the benefits of 100% solids linings in extending tank service life, minimizing maintenance costs, and lowering environmental impact for asset owners.

Description

For decades, water tank linings meant a tradeoff: durability or sustainability. Now, 100% solid linings are proving that owners no longer have to choose. With a growing focus on minimizing environmental impact, extending maintenance cycles, and keeping costs in check, many asset owners are adopting 100% solids linings – coatings that drastically reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while delivering thicker films, longer maintenance intervals, and reliable performance in extreme conditions.

Both 100% solids epoxies and 100% solids elastomeric polyurethanes have shown high performance for over two decades, demonstrating their value in reducing the time and resources spent on recoats. With extended service lives of up to 20 to 30 years, these advanced materials help municipalities, utilities, and industries meet sustainability targets, lower lifecycle costs, and enhance worker safety.

Learning how high-build, 100% solids lining systems enhance durability and reviewing successful long-term case studies will be helpful for any water utility executives, municipal managers, engineers, consultants, specifiers, and operators looking to extend the service lives of their water tanks. Attendees will be pleasantly surprised to learn that specifying such lining systems can also carry a significant sustainability benefit.
