UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS provides advanced protective solutions for critical infrastructure in industrial environments. This case study details the successful protection of a diesel containment area using UPS 905 DP DAMP PRIMER and UPS 405 EPC EPOXY PROTECTIVE COATING.
A diesel containment area at an industrial site was identified as needing protection against potential diesel spills and environmental factors. The concrete base required a durable, long-term coating to ensure it remained resistant to diesel exposure and maintained its structural integrity.
The challenge was to apply a protective coating system that would provide robust resistance to diesel and environmental exposure. The solution needed to be effective in sealing the concrete surface and ensuring long-term durability.
UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS provided a comprehensive protection solution using UPS 905 DP and UPS 405 EPC. The application process involved the following steps:
Surface Preparation
- The diesel tanks were removed from the area, and the concrete base was inspected to ensure it was free of contaminants. The surface was then abraded using mechanical hand tools to create a suitable profile for the primer.
Application of UPS 905 DP DAMP PRIMER
- The prepared surface was primed with one coat of UPS 905 DP, applied by brush and roller at a wet film thickness of 150 microns. This primer provided a strong base for the subsequent protective coating.
Application of UPS 405 EPC EPOXY PROTECTIVE COATING
- The primed surface was then over-coated with two coats of UPS 405 EPC, each applied by brush and roller at a thickness of 250 microns per coat. The system was allowed to fully cure for five days before the diesel storage tanks were replaced, ensuring the coating's effectiveness.
The application of UPS 905 DP and UPS 405 EPC successfully protected the diesel containment area from potential spills and environmental exposure. The durable coating system provided long-lasting protection, ensuring the concrete base remained intact and resistant to diesel damage.
This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS' protective coatings in safeguarding industrial containment areas from chemical exposure. Our advanced materials and precise application techniques delivered a reliable solution that extended the service life of the diesel containment area.
