Carboline Phenoline Tank Shield is a two-component, solvent-free, high performance epoxy coating designed as an internal tank, valve, and pipe lining for chemical or other commodity storage. It is a unique blend of resins and curing agents that allow batch mixing for ease of application. Plural component spray equipment is not required.

The product is blush resistant and is typically applied at film thicknesses of 500 microns or thicker as needed (tank floors). It can handle exposures typically seen in the oil and gas industries, crude oils and fuels. It is resistant to NGL condensates, produced water, brines, and industrial process water.

Approvals

• Complies with ANSI/ NSF Standard 61. For potable water applications: 1 or 2 coats to a maximum of 1250 microns
• Passes EI 1541 jet fuel gum test

Product Specification

Drying Times

• Dry to touch and dry to recoat is normally 6 hours at 24°C
• Cure For Service: Cure for service times are dependent on curing conditions and expected immersion exposure. Film hardness (Shore D of 75 or greater) and/or solvent resistance (passes a 25 MEK solvent double-rubs*); are good indications that the lining is suitable for immersion service. Typically, this can be from 24-72 hours or longer depending on the curing conditions
• Maximum recoat time is 30 days at 24°C and reduces in half for each additional 15°F increase of surface temperature. If the product has exceeded the maximum recoat time, de-gloss and roughen by light sanding or mechanically abrade the surface and remove dust prior to topcoating

*No significant colour pick-up and some down-glossing is acceptable

Surface Preparation

General

• Surfaces must be clean and dry
• Employ adequate methods to remove dirt, dust, oil, and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating

Steel

• Cleanliness: Abrasive blast to SSPC-SP10 (minimum)
• Profile: Minimum 75 micron dense, sharp anchor profile free of peening, as measured by ASTM D 4417
• Defects exposed by blasting must be repaired

Concrete

• Clean and dry
• Remove all loose, unsound concrete
• Do not apply coating unless concrete has cured at least 28 days @ 21°C and 50% RH or equivalent
• Prepare surfaces in accordance with ASTM D4258 Surface Cleaning of Concrete and ASTM D4259 Abrading Concrete
• Voids in concrete may require filling/surfacing

Application Methods

Application Conditions

• This product requires the substrate temperature to be above the dew point
• Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can cause flash rusting on prepared steel and interfere with proper adhesion to the substrate
• Special application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions

Health and Safety

Clean Up

• Use Thinner 2 or Thinner 76 are recommended for clean up

Safety

• Read and follow all caution statements on this product data sheet and on the safety data sheets for this product and use personal protective equipment as directed
• Employ normal workmanlike safety precautions

• Refer to the product data sheet and safety data sheets in the attachments section above for further details
