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

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

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.

Recent Developments in Glassflake Technology and the Use of Glassflake Coatings in Heavy Duty Coating Systems

Traditional coating systems for steel have often used a sacrificial primer, barrier coat and topcoat, to provide good UV resistance and appearance. One fundamental problem with all organic coating systems is that there will always be some permeation through the coating. These systems are therefore sacrificial in nature and have a finite life.  The use of multi-coat systems also dramatically increases application time, presenting problems both for new construction and maintenance projects.

This paper will focus on polymeric cementitious urethane floor systems that are applied in very harsh and demanding environments. We will outline the history, advantages and disadvantages of these systems, as well as some of the applications for which these systems are best suited. Finally, we will discuss how these systems are applied.

The Federal Highway Administration, through its Innovative Bridge Research and Construction Program, requested research in the performance of paint coatings applied to bridges. The Maryland State Highway Administration tested two different, two ─ coat systems in a side-by-side comparison with its standard three ─ coat paint system consisting of organic zinc primer / epoxy polyamide intermediate / aliphatic urethane finish coat (currently the “State of the Art” system for most States).
