Two-Coat Low VOC Maintenance System for DoD Aboveground Storage Tanks

To protect against corrosion, exterior Department of Defense (DoD) Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) surfaces initially receive a three-coat coating system consisting of epoxy primer (MIL-DTL-24441, Formula 159, Type III), epoxy intermediate (MIL-DTL-24441, Formula 152, Type IV), and polyurethane topcoat (MILPRF-85285D, Type II).  Exterior AST maintenance painting is generally required at less than eight years’ service.
