Tank Linings and Protective Coatings for Industrial and Marine Use


Specialist tank coatings provide protection for the internal surfaces of steel and concrete tanks, extending service life and reducing downtime. These advanced linings are essential in demanding sectors such as oil and gas, water treatment, mining, power generation, and marine transport. Whether lining a potable water tank or protecting against aggressive chemicals in storage or process tanks, these coatings offer chemical resistance, high adhesion, and fast recoat times. Tank lining systems are available in epoxy, vinyl ester, and novolac formulations to suit the exposure conditions and substrate materials.

In addition to standard tank coatings, cargo and ballast tank paints help ensure the structural integrity of vessels while reducing corrosion and contamination. Bilge paints and cleaners are also critical for marine and offshore applications, where they resist oil, fuel, and waste build-up in hard-to-access areas. Rawlins Paints stocks trusted brands like Jotun and International Paints, offering products such as Interline 984 and Tankguard Plus for protection across a range of stored substances and environmental challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions


What preparation is required before applying a tank lining coating?

Surface preparation is vital for effective adhesion and performance of any tank lining. All surfaces should be cleaned of contaminants, including rust, scale, oil, or old coatings. Shot blasting to a minimum of Sa 2½ (for steel) or equivalent mechanical preparation is usually required. Moisture testing and ensuring a dry substrate are also essential steps, particularly for concrete tanks. Specific preparation instructions are detailed on each product’s technical data sheet, and site-specific guidance is available from technical support.

Can these coatings be applied in confined spaces or during shutdowns?

Yes, many modern tank coatings are designed for confined space application with rapid cure times to suit scheduled maintenance and turnaround windows. Products like Interline 850 and Jotun Tankguard Plus have fast reactivity, enabling quick return to service. For confined spaces, appropriate ventilation, PPE, and adherence to health and safety protocols are required during application. Rawlins Paints can assist with product selection suitable for enclosed areas and tight deadlines.

Are tank linings safe for use with drinking water or food products?

Yes, certain tank linings are formulated and certified for use with potable water and food contact applications. These products comply with standards such as BS 6920 or WRAS approval in the UK. It is important to verify product compatibility and ensure full cure before commissioning the tank. Examples include Interline 925 and other specialist coatings designed for hygiene-critical environments such as beverage production or food processing.

What are the benefits of using novolac epoxy coatings in tank lining?

Novolac epoxy coatings provide higher chemical and thermal resistance than standard epoxies. They are ideal for tanks exposed to aggressive acids, solvents, or elevated temperatures. Products such as Jotun Tankguard Plus are based on novolac technology and offer extended protection in heavy-duty environments, including chemical storage, refineries, and offshore installations. They are commonly used where conventional epoxy coatings may degrade prematurely under harsh exposure.

How long do tank coatings typically last before recoating is needed?

The service life of a tank coating depends on several factors including the type of coating, exposure conditions, surface preparation, and application quality. Under optimal conditions, modern epoxy or novolac coatings can provide protection for 10 to 20 years or longer. Regular inspections, maintenance of tank systems, and appropriate chemical compatibility are key to maximising lifespan. Some tanks may only require spot repair or overcoating rather than full reapplication.
