Coating material for the inner wall of propylene oxide carbon steel storage tanks
Thread Content
Dear colleagues: The company currently has one 100m3 carbon steel storage tank, and we intend to apply a coating to its inner wall in order to store propylene oxide there, thereby enhancing its corrosion resistance and preventing rusting. Is a non-metallic coating or a metallic coating usually used? Thank you!
Generally, a non-metallic coating should be used for the inner wall coating material. Propylene oxide is an organic chemical that can cause corrosion on metal surfaces. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use non-metallic coatings with good corrosion resistance, such as polyester fiberglass, polyurethane, or epoxy resin. These coatings possess excellent corrosion resistance, enabling them to effectively prevent corrosion and rusting that occur as a result of propylene oxide coming into contact with the inner walls of carbon steel storage tanks. At the same time, it is also necessary to choose products that meet **relevant standards and specifications, and to ensure that the construction process adheres to the corresponding technical requirements, in order to guarantee the stability and durability of the coating. .
The entire stainless steel tank will be ruined; a 100-liter tank doesn’t cost much either.
