WPS offers a variety of high-performance metal repair composites and epoxy coatings designed specifically for the maintenance of storage tanks. Our solutions cover a wide range of needs, including tank base sealing, corrosion protection, cold bonding, and leak sealing. Our cold-curing materials eliminate the need for hot work, ensuring safe and efficient maintenance. Additionally, our high-strength epoxy concrete repair products quickly restore secondary containment areas and damaged concrete, providing exceptional chemical and impact resistance, as well as compressive strength.
Repair and Protection of Tank Internals
Storage tanks affected by erosion, corrosion, and chemical attack can be swiftly repaired and protected with WPS’s polymeric repair materials and coatings. Our solutions bond effectively to materials such as GRP, FRP, steel, and concrete, offering a durable and long-lasting repair.
WPS materials will:
- Provide immediate leak sealing and cold bonding in tanks using fast-curing materials
- Restore concrete and steel surfaces permanently
- Repair existing linings, including glass flakes, rubber linings, or epoxy linings
- Offer long-term erosion, corrosion, and chemical resistance with high-strength epoxy coatings
- Minimize downtime and reduce offsite storage costs using spray-applied, fast-curing materials
- Provide chemically resistant, static-dissipative coatings to prevent electrostatic accumulation in sensitive areas
External Tank Repair and Protection
WPS’s epoxy repair composites and coatings are engineered for external protection of storage tanks and process vessels. Our materials can be applied directly to hot equipment, allowing for cold bonding and eliminating the need for hot work.
Our solutions for external tank repair include:
- Spray-applied, corrosion-resistant coatings that provide easy-clean surfaces and long-term protection
- High-adhesion epoxy composites for restoring tank integrity through plate bonding or attaching external equipment such as windbreakers, fire deluge systems, brackets, and supports
- Tank base sealing with solvent-free, breathable coatings that prevent water ingress while allowing trapped moisture to escape
- Composite patches designed to meet ISO 24817 or ASME PCC-2 standards, providing pressure-retaining patch repairs
Secondary Containment Repair and Protection
WPS offers quick and effective solutions for repairing the damaged concrete floors and walls of secondary containment areas. Our concrete repair composites provide exceptional compressive strength, impact resistance, and excellent adhesion to concrete.
Our chemical-resistant coatings, such as those designed for use in highly corrosive environments, offer long-term protection against a wide range of chemicals, including acids and alkalis, even at high temperatures. WPS coatings also provide superior flexibility, allowing them to bridge cracks without compromising the coating’s integrity, ensuring durability even in challenging conditions. Our chemical linings can be applied by brush or spray equipment, accelerating application and reducing downtime.
