The Enviroline®
Series of 100% solids, zero VOC's thick-film coatings and
linings acts as an effective corrosion barrier for companies
involved in almost every aspect of industry. From oil and
gas storage, wastewater treatment, chemical processing and
hazardous material storage to food and beverage processing,
Enviroline coatings and linings provide a leak prevention barrier
that resists deterioration from chemical attack, abrasion,
impact and cathodic disbondment.
The Enviroline Series has been
tested utilizing recognized industry standards for corrosion
and mechanical properties. Enviroline has a proven history of quality
applications and has provided solutions for even the most
difficult circumstance, often after other systems have failed.
Here are just a few examples:
Northrop-Grumman Aerospace
St. Augustine, Florida
Problem:
 A 30,000 sq. ft. hanger floor
where jet engines are stripped with a 100% methylene chloride
solution. Although the floor is designed as a process area
with mild chemical exposure, the conditions were similar to
continuous immersion. Other systems installed had failed due
to the harsh solvent environment. The concrete was badly cracked
and degraded and in need of repair.
Solution:
 After repairing the concrete,
Enviroline's highly flexible B-Flex 9700 was used to fill the expansion
and control joints. The concrete was sealed with Enviroline
54 concrete sealer. The surface was then topcoated with 40
mils of Enviroline 150 solvent resistant lining. The floor
has been in trouble free service since its completion in April,
1994.
Chevron El Segundo Refinery
El Segundo, California
Problem:
 A 140 ft. diameter by 56 ft.
tall bulk storage sour water tank. The existing coating failed
on the interior surface of the tank, with the exception of
the bottom side of the floating roof. In addition, due to
the floating roof, there were issues with the need for abrasion
resistance on the walls of the tank. Returning the tank back
into service quickly was a great concern for the owner because
of the high cost associated with a non-operational tank.
Solution:
 The bottom of the floating roof
was blasted and lined first. The tank was then blasted and
lined with a single 60 mil coat of Enviroline 376F. Chevron
was so pleased with the product and service they continue
to specify Enviroline 376F at the refinery.
Callaway Chemical
Columbus, Georgia
Problem:
 A 20 ft high by 12 ft. diameter
steel tank holding a proprietary chemical similar to acrylic
acid. The steel substrate had many holes that needed to be
repaired.
Solution:
 The holes were repaired with
a fiberglass backing, followed by the application of Enviroline
124. A single thick-film topcoat of Enviroline 376 was then
applied over the entire area. The tank has been in trouble-free
service since the completion of this job in January, 1997
and Callaway Chemical has since used Enviroline coatings for
other tanks.
Panama Canal Commission
Panama
Problem:
The Panama Canal Commission
had several concrete potable water tanks that needed to be
lined and returned to service quickly.
Solution:
 The Panama Canal Commission
chose Enviroline 230 NSF for its single coat, fast cure properties
and for the fact that Enviroline 230 is NSF certified for
use with potable water. After preparing the surface and applying
Enviroline 54 concrete sealer, Enviroline 230 NSF was applied
to the surface in a single 40 mil coat. The tanks have been
in trouble-free service since the job completion in 1996.
Pipe Applications
 For over forty years, Enviroline
Group has been utilizing Enviroline®thick-film
epoxy formulations in severe environments where corrosion
protection requirements are at their highest. Today, that
proven technology is being utilized successfully for various
pipe applications. Pipe owners and decision makers recognize
the advantages the Enviroline Series of 100% solids, zero
VOC epoxy coatings and linings provides over traditional fusion
bond epoxy (FBE) systems, including chemical, impact, abrasion
and cathodic disbondment resistance as well as ease of application
and fast cure.
In shop applications, Enviroline
products are applied in a single coat and offer extremely
fast curing properties without the use of costly heat or ovens.
In most cases, the same amount of pipe it would take several
days to coat using fusion bond epoxies and other traditional
methods, takes only hours with Enviroline coatings.
 In field applications, the superior
performance of our single coat, fast curing technology offers
advantages as well. The excellent impact and abrasion resistant
qualities offer peace of mind in environmentally sensitive
areas without the use of an additional polymer coating system
to protect the pipeline coating. Enviroline stands alone --
even under river and road crossings unlike traditional FBE
systems.
In addition, our fast curing
properties offer the ability to apply Enviroline products
as patch kits on girth welds. With minimal surface preparation,
our Enviroline systems are easily applied and cure within
minutes.
