Performance Profile: Secondary Containment
| Distributor: | D & E Distributing |
| Customer: | A Chemical Plant in Gainesville, Florida |
| Applicator: | Tri-State Contractors of Florida |
Several years of spills of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and related wastewater had deteriorated the concrete in the secondary containment. The company was looking for a coating that would offer future protection of the concrete against corrosion and erosion. No previous coatings were able to withstand the environment, leaving the concrete unprotected.
Solution:
CeRam-Kote 2000 was selected for
its corrosion resistance and ceramic content. The concrete was tested,
failed concrete removed, replaced and resurfaced. CeRam-Kote 2000 was
applied by roller to the secondary containment areas of the chemical
plant. There were no application problems.
The Project Engineer reported a spill soon after the application with no
apparent effect to the CeRam-Kote 2000 or the concrete it was
protecting.
