  00:00:08:03 - 00:00:08:20 With a growing 00:00:08:20 - 00:00:12:12 diversity of commodities such as refined petroleum products, 00:00:13:00 - 00:00:15:09 crude oils, chemicals 00:00:16:06 - 00:00:18:23 and biofuels stored in tank storage. 00:00:19:14 - 00:00:22:19 The industry has focused on the use of long life, 00:00:22:22 - 00:00:26:07 high performance linings to reduce internal corrosion. 00:00:26:13 - 00:00:30:21 Protective coatings help prevent corrosion and extend the life of the tank. 00:00:30:24 - 00:00:34:24 However, incorrectly selected or applied linings can fail 00:00:35:00 - 00:00:39:08 due to causes such as the lamination cracking or blistering. 00:00:39:09 - 00:00:42:16 This leads to corrosion and premature tank failure. 00:00:43:07 - 00:00:48:09 Carbon steel, for example, is often used in the construction of bulk storage tanks. 00:00:48:12 - 00:00:52:07 Due to its availability, strength and ease of construction. 00:00:52:08 - 00:00:54:12 However, it is subject to corrosion 00:00:54:12 - 00:00:58:11 when in contact with the chemicals found in the oil and gas. 00:00:58:11 - 00:01:00:03 Water and wastewater. 00:01:00:03 - 00:01:03:01 Marine. Rail. Power. 00:01:03:18 - 00:01:08:01 Chemical and mining industry needs to address these issues. 00:01:08:07 - 00:01:13:08 Tank owners, coding manufacturers and applicators seek specific performance 00:01:13:08 - 00:01:14:19 criteria from a tank 00:01:14:19 - 00:01:19:12 lining to optimize performance and meet project and budget requirements. 00:01:19:24 - 00:01:22:18 This criteria will include long term 00:01:22:18 - 00:01:27:14 corrosion protection, ease of application, fast return to service, 00:01:27:22 - 00:01:31:16 increased asset life, potential swing service, 00:01:31:23 - 00:01:36:19 technical support, track records, safety cost savings. 00:01:37:07 - 00:01:41:04 Tank lining products from Sherwin-Williams are solvent free 00:01:41:04 - 00:01:45:00 consisting of ultra high solids with edge retention built 00:01:45:00 - 00:01:48:24 in which provides superior protection on welds and edges. 00:01:49:23 - 00:01:52:10 These UHC linings also have 00:01:52:10 - 00:01:55:11 excellent flow and leveling, making them easier 00:01:55:12 - 00:01:59:05 to apply and particularly suited for filling pitted areas. 00:01:59:23 - 00:02:03:00 To help applicators increase ease of inspection, 00:02:03:00 - 00:02:08:03 Sherwin-Williams introduced opti Jack with the use of the appropriate UV light. 00:02:08:05 - 00:02:12:15 A fluorescent pigment illuminates holidays, helping to identify 00:02:12:15 - 00:02:16:05 and repair these areas during the application process. 00:02:16:15 - 00:02:20:13 The combination of superior tank lining technology, enhanced 00:02:20:13 - 00:02:25:09 inspection capability, track records and expert field technical support 00:02:25:14 - 00:02:29:05 are all factors that ensure long term corrosion protection 00:02:29:12 - 00:02:33:09 and a potential life expectancy of up to 30 years. 00:02:34:20 - 00:02:36:07 Sherwin-Williams offers 00:02:36:07 - 00:02:41:16 customers access to high performance linings, a global network of experts 00:02:42:03 - 00:02:44:09 and unmatched technical service. 00:02:44:17 - 00:02:48:06 Our local teams ensure all applications of learning 00:02:48:06 - 00:02:51:07 projects are carried out to the required standard. 00:02:51:12 - 00:02:54:18 Contact us to start a project or schedule 00:02:54:18 - 00:03:03:17 a consultation.
