Silos, processing tanks, storage tanks, floatation cells and thickener tanks all need to be protected both internally and externally. Often a combination of chemicals, abrasion and temperature amounts to a complexity of challenges to the manufacturer and operator.
 
Corrosion challenges for tanks, thickeners and cells
Information is key when recommending coating systems for processing and storage. The more information we receive, the better we can understand the requirements and the exposures the equipment will meet when in operation - resulting in tailor made solutions that fit your requirements.
 
For high abrasion situations one usually makes use of a glass flake reinforced epoxy or polyester coating. If there are strong chemicals in combination with abrasion, a common solution is using glass flake reinforced vinylester coating.
 
Exterior is equally important, and practical solutions can be provided to create the professional image desired by the mining industry while at the same time offer the necessary protection against the environment.

Jotun is focused on tailor made coating solutions for external and internal protection of processing and storage equipment in order to suit the needs from a technical point of view, whilst still trying to keep the operation of painting simple.
