Biofuel Coatings and Linings

Extend the total service life of the infrastructure in the biofuel industry

WHAT are Biofuel Coatings & Linings?

The biofuel industry creates renewable fuel from organic materials such as food stock and agricultural waste. The infrastructure and tanks used in the storage of the organic materials and their refining process into biofuels require coatings and linings to protect against organic acids, high heat, and corrosion.

Sherwin-Williams Protective and Marine biofuel coatings and linings are designed to provide exceptional high-temperature resistance and comprehensive corrosion protection, essential for safeguarding the infrastructure and tanks within the biofuel industry. Our diverse range of chemistries includes novolac epoxies, glass flake vinyl esters, and more.

  • Extend the asset life of biofuel processing infrastructure
  • Protects against degradation from organic acids
  • Reduces out-of-service time for critical assets
  • Protects against corrosion
  • Protects against etching and erosion
  • Protects against high heat degradation

Tank Lining Challenges in the Switch to Renewable Feedstocks

Lipid feedstocks for the production of renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel or biofuel have different complications in storage than traditional fossil fuel (crude). Depending on the storage temperature and the time between loading and unloading these feedstocks can be considerably more aggressive to coatings and linings used for internal protection of storage tanks.

Sherwin-Williams has been leading the research in tank linings to ensure long-term protection for tanks used in the biofuel industry. Read our white paper to learn more.
