High-Build Epoxy and Vinyl Ester Linings for Tank and Containment Protection

Industrial equipment exposed to harsh chemicals and high temperatures requires protective lining systems that provide long-lasting corrosion resistance and durability. Trowel-applied lining systems provide a thick, reinforced protective barrier designed to withstand aggressive chemical exposure, abrasion, and thermal stress in both tank interiors and containment structures.

RAK Industrial Services applies high-build epoxy and vinyl ester linings formulated specifically for trowel application in tanks, containments, sumps, pits, and equipment bases. These systems are used to rehabilitate deteriorated substrates, restore containment integrity, extend service life, and protect critical assets in harsh industrial environments.

Field-Proven Tank Rehabilitation

“RAK helped rehabilitate a severely deteriorated tank system using a high-build lining solution that has held up extremely well under aggressive service conditions. Their team understood the environment and delivered a long-term solution.”

Designed for Harsh Tank Environments

Trowel-applied, mat-reinforced lining systems are well-suited for tank rehabilitation projects where durability, substrate tolerance, and long-term chemical resistance are required. RAK’s epoxy and vinyl ester systems:

  • Perform in elevated-temperature service conditions
  • Can be applied to vertical and overhead surfaces
  • Accommodate aging, uneven, or irregular substrates
  • Provide strong adhesion to steel and concrete
  • Allow localized thickness build-up using fiberglass mat reinforcement

These properties make trowel-applied, mat-reinforced linings effective for tanks exposed to chemicals, caustics, wastewater, and aggressive industrial process media.

Why Proper Tank Lining Selection Matters

The interior lining of a tank is the primary barrier protecting both the stored product and the tank structure itself. Because tank interiors are not continuously visible, selecting the correct lining system is critical to preventing corrosion, leaks, contamination, and premature failure.

RAK guides facility teams through lining selection, surface preparation, and installation to ensure long-term tank protection and regulatory compliance.

Why It Matters in the Field
Improper lining selection can lead to accelerated degradation, product contamination, and costly unplanned repairs. Choosing the right system for the specific chemical environment and operating conditions is essential to maintaining asset integrity and avoiding premature failure.
