Chemical tanks

There are several coatings that can be used for the internal lining of chemical tanks. The criteria that must be
considered for the correct Resimac coating system to be chosen is as follows –

 Chemicals being stored in the tank
 Operating temperature
 Viscosity of material being stored
 Surface preparation

Strong acids and aqueous chemical solutions
For tanks storing strong acids, which includes concentrated Sulphuric
Acid or Hydrochloric Acid, Nitric Acid up to 20%, Phosphoric Acid up
to 75%, or Acetic Acid up to 20% then Resichem 511 UCEN must be used.
The minimum surface preparation for this type of application is abrasive
blast clean to SA2.5, 75 micron profile. The coating system must be
applied in a minimum 2 coats at approximately 500 microns wet film
thickness per coat. Resichem 511 UCEN does not need a primer when
being applied to steel and can be applied by brush, roller or plural feed
hot spray for larger areas. The material can also be post cured at high
temperature to offer increased chemical resistance, please speak to
Resimac Ltd on +44 (0) 1423 325073 or [email protected] for further
guidance.

Mild aqueous chemical solutions
Typical chemicals would include sodium and potassium hydroxide, 10% sulphuric acid or below, 20% hydrochloric
acid or below, diesel, fuel oil or Xylene. For these chemicals Resichem 501 CRSG can be applied to abrasive blast
cleaned surfaces in a 2 coat application, minimum 500 microns wet film thickness per coat. The product can be
applied by brush, roller or standard airless spray equipment.

Solvent tanks
Many organic chemicals can degrade standard epoxy based lining systems and therefore result in premature failure
of the coating. Typical chemicals include Toluene, Xylene, Styrene, Ethanol, Butanol and Benzene. Depending on the
type of solvent being stored and any risk
of elevated temperature either Resichem
501 CRSG or Resichem 511 UCEN can
be used as an effective lining system for
steel tanks storing these types of
chemicals, please speak to Resimac Ltd
on +44 (0) 1423 325073 or
[email protected] for further guidance.

Drinking water, waste water, effluent, river water tanks

These types of liquids and products can be stored in a wide range of tanks constructed from GRP, Steel, Stainless
Steel and Concrete. Also the type of fabrication of the tank needs to be taken into consideration. There are two
types of Resimac coating material that can be used for these applications, Reschem 501 CRSG (100% solids epoxy)
and Resichem 507 DWPU (100% solids Polyurethane).
Resichem 501 CRSG can only be used for rigid tanks that store or process waste water, effluent or river water.
Resichem 507 DWPU can be used for all types of storage or process tank/ vessel and is particularly effective when
used on sectional steel tanks (Braithwaite).

These materials can be applied directly on to abrasive blast cleaned,
hydroblasted, water jetted and mechanically prepared steel and GRP
surfaces. However for long term protection of metallic surfaces we
would always recommend abrasive blast cleaning to SA2.5, 75 micron
profile using angled grit.

For concrete structures and tanks the surface will need to be abrasive Sectional steel tank
Blast cleaned or mechanically abraded using diamond discs. Once the

Coated area is free of dust then the concrete substrate will need to be

Sealed using the relevant Resimac primer. There are three primers to choose from –

1. Resichem 503 SPEP – two pack solvent free epoxy sealing primer, standard cure time of 6-8hours

2. Resichem 504 SPXF – two pack solvent free epoxy sealing primer, fast cure 2-3 hours

3. Resichem 505 Damp Seal – two pack solvent free epoxy primer for high moisture content concrete

All of these primers may require 2 coats to seal a porous surface, they can be applied by brush, roller or standard

airless spray, (if spraying standard practice is to back roller the product into the concrete surface to ensure

maximum penetration).

Containment areas/ bunds

In general wherever there are storage vessels of acids, aggressive chemicals and hydrocarbons these areas will be
contained within a bund to contain any spills or leaks. Containment areas are predominantly built with concrete,
however older containment areas may use brick work for the walls.
For newly constructed containment areas the moisture content of the concrete will be main factor to consider, the
majority of Resichem primers and coatings cannot be applied to concrete surfaces until the moisture content has
fallen below 7%. However Resichem 505 Damp Seal is a primer that can be applied to damp surfaces or newly laid
concrete substrates with readings up to 30% moisture content. Once cured the primer will allow the concrete to
breath while sealing the surface from any further moisture ingress.

For older containment areas, chemical contamination and damage to the concrete surface itself will be areas for
consideration. If any chemicals have been spilt or allowed to soak into the concrete surface these areas will have to
be cleaned using either, high pressure water jetting for surface contamination, or enzymes or re-laying of concrete
for chemical contamination that has been allowed to soak into the concrete structure
If there is any doubt as to the contaminant and the extent to which it has soaked in to the porous concrete surface it
is standard procedure to perform patch tests in designated areas of the containment area to ascertain the best
method of surface preparation and application of product.

Also it is advisable to construct a coving at the floor and wall interface, such coving can be constructed using
Resichem 570 Concrete Patch Repair XF, or from using Resichem 503 SPEP mixed with dry kiln sand. The surface
preparation and priming will be the same as above.

An area where linings of containment areas are prone to failure is the expansion joint. To ensure that the joint is
allowed to expand and contract while not harming the Resichem system above, chop strand matting can be placed
over the joint area by approx. 100mm either side and running the length of the expansion joint. The matting should
be laid onto the surface of the primer coat and then allowed to cure. The matting will ensure the Resichem system
stays flexible enough to mirror the expansion and contraction of the joint underneath.

The three products manufactured by Resimac that can be considered for protecting concrete containment areas are
Resichem 501 CRSG, Resichem 502 CRXF or Resichem 511 UCEN

Protection of tank externals

The protection of tank externals covers products capable of intermittent chemical resistance where tanks are stored
in a chemical process/ manufacturing areas and protection of the steel surfaces from weathering and UV
degradation. Resichem product cover a wide range of possible surface preparations and all are dependent on the
required design life of the coating system and the practicality of the surface preparation options available. As a rule,
the better the surface preparation the longer the design life of the system.

Manual and mechanical surface preparation, typically Resichem 501 CRSG, 506 Aluprime , 554 RB membrane and
555 Resinox can be used for this type of surface preparation. We would recommend as standard that all edges,
welds should be stripe coated with a further 2 coats of material.

500psi water jetting surface preparation, the same as above.

Hydroblasting surface preparation, Resichem 511 UCEN can be used for water blasting at 5000psi and above.

Abrasive blast cleaning, all of the coatings can be used on blast prepared steel, areas to be considered would be
chemical resistance to vapour or intermittent splashes from aggressive chemicals

Chemical vapour and chemical splash, we would recommend that only Resichem 501 CRSG, 502 CRXF, 508 UVPU
and 511 UCEN be used for contact areas with chemical vapour. Resichem 501 CRSG, 502 CRXF and 511 UCEN should
be used for surfaces that can be in contact with aggressive chemicals.

UV Stability, only Resichem 508 UVPU, 554 RB Membrane and 555 Resinox are UV Stable. Resichem 501 CRSG, 502
CRXF and 506 Aluprime can be over coated with Resichem 508 UVPU to give UV stability.

Structural steel

This section covers structural steel used in the fabrication of civil engineering projects. This type of steel work can be
exposed to marine, chemical and industrial environments all of which can have differing levels of humidity and
corrosion.
Chemical vapour, humidity and marine/ salt water environments will corrode mild steel structures relatively quickly
and if left unchecked can lead to failure of the steel surface. To simplify where Resimac coating system can be used
structural steelwork can be split into two areas -

New steelwork
New steel fabrications will invariably be supplied with a holding primer already applied to the surface or be supplied
as bare steel with the possibility of mill scale as a surface contaminant. In both cases abrasive blast cleaning is the
only method where the applicator can be sure there is no possibility of any surface contamination remaining on the
surface prior to the application of a Resimac coating system.

Existing steelwork
As standard all grease, oil and other surface contaminants must be removed in order for the chosen Resimac coating
system to work successfully. Failure to remove all of the surface contaminants will ensure premature failure of the
product applied. However in many cases abrasive blast cleaning is not only practical it is also not allowed
environmentally. There are several Resimac coatings which can be applied to manual, mechanical and hydro blasted
surfaces and will for a period of time offer good levels of corrosion protection. However the applicator and
customer must acknowledge that in many cases this type of preparation will have an adverse effect on the design
life of the system.

For more information on surface preparation and surface contaminants please refer to the following
documents –

 BS EN ISO 12944 Environmental classification chart Resimac products
 Surface preparation guidelines for steel surfaces

The quick guide table in the protection of tank externals can also be used as a guide for new and existing

steelwork fabrications and structures.

Pipework

This section covers existing pipework and the various applications that are found within industrial sites where
Resimac coating systems can be used. The main areas where Resimac system can be used are –

 Protection against Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)
 Protection against weathering and UV degradation
 Protection against chemical vapour and splashes
 Thermal protection on hot pipework

Protection from corrosion under insulation
For any existing chemical, petrochem and industrial manufacturing site corrosion under insulation is one of the main
issues facing engineers and facility managers. CUI can cause premature failure to pipework and is seen as one of the
main reasons for unplanned maintenance costs. Using Resichem 501 CRSG as a surface tolerant protective coating
can ensure that mild steel pipework is protected for many years. Resichem 501 CRSG can be applied to surfaces that
have only been prepared by mechanical grinding or by hydroblasting. The material must not be applied to pipe work
hotter than 40°C, however Resimac has developed a material, 561 Thermal Barrier, which can be applied to surfaces
up to 100°C in temperature, therefore allowing critical operating systems to continue operating while application
work is carried out.

Surface Preparation Guidelines

At Resimac we have developed a range of products for coating for steel and concrete which offer flexibility to
the user with regards to surface preparation. As a manufacturer we would always recommend that the best
possible surface preparation be completed prior to the application of our products. However, through
experience we know that on many projects this is not possible.
As a guide the more aggressive the chemical, temperature and operating environment the more stringent our
preparation guidelines will become.

Steel

Some of the various methods of surface preparation of steel are described below, such as;
 International Standard ISO 8504:1992(E). Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related
products - Surface preparation methods.
 International Standards ISO 8501-1:1988(E) and ISO 8501-2:1994.
Preparation of steel substrate before application of paints and related
products – Visual assessment of surface cleanliness.
 Swedish Standard SIS 05 59 00 (1967) - Pictorial Surface Preparation
Standards for Painting Steel Surfaces

As standard, Resimac uses the internationally accepted Swedish Standard for
surface preparation guidance for all coatings and repair materials.

The performance of our coatings applied to steel will be significantly affected
by the condition of the steel substrate immediately prior to painting. The principal
factors affecting performance are;

 Contamination on the surface of the steel including salts, grease, oils,
drilling and cutting fluids.

 Rust and mill scale.
 Surface profile.
The main objectives of surface preparation are to ensure that all surface contaminants have been removed and a coarse
profile (key) has been created for the Resimac coating to adhere too.

Concrete

To ensure a clean surface for the recommended Resimac
coating, the concrete surface must be roughened by
blasting, scarifying or grinding. The type of method used
depends on the conditions of the concrete surface and
the working environment of the application.

 Blasting: the concrete should be blast cleaned
using a recovery unit

 Scarifying: the machines used include fast
rotating hardened flails which remove old
coatings and can be set to roughen the concrete
surface to various depths

 Grinding: the most popular method of grinding
concrete is using mechanical diamond grinders
which scarify the surface of the concrete
ensuring a good key and removing any loose
material or existing coating.

Preparation of Steel Surfaces

Repair Protect Upgrade

Hand Tool Cleaning

Loosely adhering mill scale, rust and old paint can be removed from the surface using a wire brush, sandpaper or scraper.
This type of surface preparation will only remove surface contaminants
that are visible to the eye and will not remove any ingrained contamination.
For this particular type of surface preparation it is recommended that only
the following Resimac coatings be used;
Resichem 501 CRSG, Resichem 502 CRXF, Resichem 506 Aluprime
Resichem 554 RB Membrane, Resichem 555 Resinox
Notes on application; the surface must be dry and then degreased using
an appropriate solvent cleaner such as MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone).

Power Tool Cleaning

Generally more effective and less time consuming than hand tool cleaning,
power tools such as grinders, sanders, needle guns, power wire brushes and
MBX bristle blasters will remove rust and mill scale but will not remove
tightly adhered contaminants. Resimac testing has shown the MBX bristle
blaster to give the best adhesion results. For this particular type of surface
preparation it is recommended that only the following Resimac coatings be
used;
Resichem 501 CRSG, Resichem 502 CRXF, Resichem 506 Aluprime,
Resichem 507 DWPU, Resichem 555 RB Membrane, Resichem 555 Resinox
Notes on application; the surface must be dry and then degreased using
an appropriate solvent cleaner such as MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone).

Blast Cleaning

The most effective method for removal of mill scale, rust and old coatings is by blasting with abrasive media. The primary
standard quoted by Resimac for surface preparation is Swedish Standard SA2.5 75 micron profile. The key areas to be
considered during any blasting process are;

 The presence of salts, grease and oils on the surface. These may
appear to be removed during the blasting process. However they
may have been ingrained into the surface of the metal and will
require sweating from the metal substrate by repeated blasting
or power washing.

 Weld Seam, metal slivers and sharp edges must be ground down
after the blasting process as coatings tend to run off sharp
edges and will result in thinning of the paint surface.

 Weld spatter is proven to be one of the main reasons for failure and
must be removed, as the spatter is likely to be poorly adhered to the
steel surface.

We recommend for the best profile that angular grit of 1.5-2.0mm grain be used
To achieve a surface profile of the steel ranging from 75-100 microns.
For this particular type of surface preparation it is recommended that the following Resimac coatings be used;
Resichem 501 CRSG, Resichem 502 CRXF, Resichem 506 Aluprime, Resichem 507 DWPU, Resichem 511 UCEN, Resichem 554
RB Membrane, Resichem 555 Resinox
Notes on application; Resichem 501 CRSG, 502 CRXF, 506 Aluprime can be applied to damp surfaces and surfaces that have
gingered. After abrasive blast cleaning the metallic substrate must be washed down using an appropriate solvent cleaner
such as MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone).

Preparation of Steel Surfaces

Repair Protect Upgrade

Wet Abrasive Blasting

Wet abrasive blasting uses slurry of water and abrasive rather than dry
abrasive alone. The main advantage of this type of surface preparation is the
eradication of dust from the application area. Also while blasting the fluids
wash out any contaminants embedded in the pitting and scarring on the
surface of the steel. However, a disadvantage of this technique is that the
cleaned steel begins to rust rapidly after blasting and therefore it is essential
that rust inhibitors are used in the wet abrasive mix. Careful selection is
required to ensure that tese do not adversely affect adhesion.
For this particular type of surface preparation it is recommended that the
following Resimac coatings be used;
Resichem 501 CRSG, Resichem 502 CRXF, Resichem 506 Aluprime, Resichem
507 DWPU, Resichem 511 UCEN, Resichem 554 RB Membrane, Resichem 555
Resinox

Hydroblasting

Hydroblasting is considered to the most environmentally friendly method of
surface preparation as it relies entirely on the energy of water striking the
surface. No abrasive is included in the water and therefore eradicates
problems caused by dust and the disposal of blasting abrasive.
High pressure hydroblasting, operating at pressures
between 680 bar (10,000psi) and 1,700 bar (25,000psi).

For this particular type of surface preparation it is recommended that the following Resimac coatinsgs be used;
Resichem 501 CRSG, Resichem CRXF, Resichem 506 Aluprime, Resichem 507 DWPU, Resichem 511 UCEN, Resichem 554
RB Membrane, Resichem 555 Resinox

Ultra High Pressure Hydroblasting

The range of pressures used in UHPH are 2,000-2,500bar (30,000-36,000psi). Steel surfaces produced by hydroblasting do
not look the same as those produced by dry abrasive blasting, or slurry blasting. This is due to the water being unable to
cut or deform the steel surface in the way abrasives can. Hydroblasted surfaces, therefore, tend to look dull prior to flash
rust. Flash rust is caused by oxidation as the hydroblasted steel dries and should be removed by hard bristle brush or by
washing down with high pressure fresh water. Hydroblasting does not produce a surface profile like blast abrasives, the
surface profile exposed by UHPH will have been produced by earlier preparation work, i.e during original fabrication work,
or by corrosion. To ensure UHPH produces the required surface profile for Resichem products it is advised to test a small
area of the surface to check the original surface profile of the steel.
The energy created during the Ultra High Pressure Hydroblasting process can also cause the steel substrate to increase in
temperature and therefore reduce the drying time of the steel prior to application of the chosen Resimac coating.
For this particular type of surface preparation it is recommended that the following Resimac coatinsgs be used;
Resichem 501 CRSG, Resichem CRXF, Resichem 506 Aluprime, Resichem 507 DWPU, Resichem 511 UCEN, Resichem 554

Preparation of Concrete Surfaces

Repair Protect Upgrade

Concrete

As previously stated there are three ways of preparing concrete surfaces – blasting, scarifying and grinding.
 Blasting: generally blasting of concrete is achieved at lower pressures than with steel to ensure that the aggregates
are not exposed. Blasting is recommended when existing coatings have to be removed from the surface and also
when it is known the concrete has been badly contaminated.
 Scarifying: this should be used when the top surface of the concrete has been badly damaged or has severe oil or
chemical contamination. Scarifying or scrabbling can plain up to 3” off the surface of the concrete.
 Grinding: this should be used on sound concrete surfaces or on existing coatings which are compatible with
Resimac systems.

Resimac coatings will be affected by moisture in the concrete surface, as a rule moisture content must not register more
than 6-7% in the slab. If moisture readings taken higher than this we would recommend the application of Resichem 505
Damp Seal on any surface reading up to 30%. Please contact Resimac with regards to any questions on this subject.
In the majority of circumstances where our coatings are to be applied to a sound, dry concrete surface we would
recommend at least 1 x primer cost of Resichem 503 SPEP or Resichem 504 SPXF or Resichem 505 Damp Seal to seal the
surface.
For application to concrete we would recommend the following products;
Resichem 501 CRSG, Resichem CRXF, Resichem 506 Aluprime, Resichem 507 DWPU, Resichem 511 UCEN, Resichem 554
RB Membrane, Resichem 555 Resinox

Areas to be assessed prior to abrasive blast cleaning, hydroblasting, water jetting and mechanical

grinding

Prior to any surface preparation methods being carried out on the steel surface the following area need to be
assessed –

1. Oil, grease and other surface contaminants
2. Millscale and rust
3. Weld spatter
4. Weld irregularities
5. Sharp edges, dents and burrs
6. Water soluble salts

Oil, grease and other surface contaminants
Contrary to perceptions, oil and grease are not removed by
mechanical surface preparation alone. In fact if using a
mechanical grinder or MBS bristle blaster the abrasive
tools may collect the surface oil and grease and deposit
them in other areas. Any surface contaminant will act as
a barrier to coating adhesion and will result in delamination,
poor adhesion and mechanical resistance. To ensure that all
surface contaminants have been removed the repair/
coating area must be washed down with a suitable
degreaser such as MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone). The
surface if badly affected may require more than one
wash down prior to any surface prep taking place.

Millscale and rust
Millscale if left on the surface of the steel can cause galvanic corrosion between the coating and the substrate
and therefore cause peeling or delamination of the coating system. Rust will reduce the adhesion between the
steel surface and the coating. In light operating environments
this will only slightly degrade the performance of the chosen
coating material, however where the coating system is
to be applied in more aggressive environments such as
chemical contact and high temperature this will cause
premature failure of the system. To eradicate millscale
the steel surface must first be washed down with a suitable
degreaser such as MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) and then
entire repair and coating area must be abraded by
abrasive blast cleaning, hydroblasting or by using an MBX
Bristle Blaster. For aggressive environments rust must be
Abrasive blast cleaned from the surface and the coating system
applied to the steel surface before moisture contact creates gingering on the surface.

Weld Spatter
Weld spatter may appear to be bonded to the steel
surface and therefore not be a threat to coating
adhesion, however the spatter may only have minimal
adhesion to the steel surface and may contain
contaminants from the welding process. Abrasive
blast cleaning alone will not remove all of the weld
spatter therefore due diligence dictates that the
weld spatter must be removed by chipping or grinding
first and then entire surface abrasive blast cleaned.
This will ensure that the spatter does not leave any
shadowing on the final cured finish of the coating
system.

Weld Irregularities
Welds are a potential weak area for any coating system

if they are not properly assessed and prepared.
Protusions or wire residues that have not been removed

will create thin dry film thicknesses for epoxy or
polyurethane coatings. Sharp edges or localised porosity

on the weld will also create potential weak spots and
will ensure premature failure of any coating system.
Prior to application all weld seams must be checked
and any irregularities must be ground smooth using

mechanical grinding equipment.

Sharp edges, dents and burrs
These factors are created during manufacture of the
steel plate or during fabrication or manufacture of
the equipment or structure. Abrasive blast cleaning
alone will not eradicate sharp edges and therefore
additional mechanical grinding is needed to smooth
off any sharp edges. However even this method may
not give the required results and therefore stripe
coating of particularly bad surfaces is required.
Inspection of the stripe coat will confirm if further
coats or rectification work is required.

Water soluble salts
Water soluble salts will not be removed by abrasive
blast cleaning as they will have become embedded
in the steel surface. Testing of water soluble salts is
performed using a Bresle sampler kit. The level of
steel surface salt contamination will be measured by
using this sample kit and corrective action can then
be taken. The surface should be high pressure fresh
water blasted and scrubbed down with brushes. A
further test using the Bresle sampler kit will indicate
if the level of salts has been reduced sufficiently to begin coating work. It is common to have to perform this
wash down process several times to achieve the required surface cleanliness.

Testing at the Resimac Laboratories on coated steel panels using Resimetal 205 HT Fluid has allowed us to set
out the following guidelines for steel surfaces contaminated with water soluble salts. Using the Bresle salt
test in accordance with ISO 8502 the following are our recommended maximum levels of surface salt
contamination :-
20°C 60mgs/m²
50°C 30mgs/m²
90°C 20mgs/m²

The results listed above set out the maximum limits any Resichem or Resimetal coating or repair material
should be applied, in all applications every effort must be made to achieve the lowest level of salt
contamination where possible.

Areas to be assessed prior to application of any Resimac coating or repair system

Prior to any Resimac product being applied the following areas need to be assessed –
7. Air temperature
8. Surface temperature
9. Product temperature
10. Dew point

Air temperature
This is will affect the surface temperature, dew point and ultimately the application and performance of the Resimac
product chosen. Although some Resimac materials can cure at low temperatures, for critical plant, equipment and
structures that need protecting in aggressive environments too high or too low air temperatures will adversely affect the
performance of the material.
For emergency ot localised repairs heaters or coolers can be used to accelerate or slow the curing of the product, however
for large areas shelters and large industrial heaters/ coolers will be required to control the air temperature and application
environment. For the best results application of Resimac coatings and repair materials should be made at 10°C to 35°C.

Surface temperature
Surface temperature of the steel will be affected by the air temperature, operating environment and in case of pipe work,
tanks and process vessels the operating temperature of the manufacturing process. A high surface temperature will cause
the materials to cure too quickly and create an inherently weak repair system or poor adhesion to the steel surface. Low
surface temperatures will cause the materials to cure too slowly and therefore allow contamination, such as carbamation to
occur on the surface or mean the product has a weak cure structure.
In the case of high surface temperatures the operating system will have to be turned off to allow the steel substrate to cool,
the equipment or structure be moved to a controlled environment or in case of outdoor applications coating and repair
work be carried during night time or early morning where the heat it at its lowest. In general, for best results the maximum
temperature a Resimac coating can be applied is 40°C, although for certain materials the temperature can be higher. Please
speak to Resimac Ltd prior to application of any material above 40°C.
For low surface temperatures then heaters can be used directly onto the surface, the base component of the material can
be heated as well (up to 30°C) to ensure the material cures better and will be easier to apply, if applying by brush or roller.

Product temperature
Product temperature needs to be maintained at a consistent level, normally 15-30°C is the best range to keep too. If the
product, and especially, the activator are heated too much the product will gel too quickly and therefore the product will
suffer from poor surface adhesion or go hard in the can or spray equipment.If the product is too cold then it may not cure or
cure insufficiently to protect the steel surface from corrosion or chemical attack.

Dew Point
The dew point of the air tells about the humidity and risk of condensation. If the dew point of the air is higher than the
substrate temperature, condensation will take place on the substrate. For applications in high temperature or aggressive
chemicals no Resimac material can be applied to a steel surface suffering from condensation. However for more benign
environments or where anti-corrosive properties are required several Resimac coatings can be used – please speak to
Resimac on [email protected] for further information.
