What is the Best Coating for an Industrial Water Tank? Epoxy vs. Polyurea

What is the Best Coating for an Industrial Water Tank? Epoxy vs. Polyurea We spoke with Matt Elden, Business Development Director, to explore key factors when selecting epoxy or polyurea for coating an industrial water tank. With nearly 25 years in the coatings industry, Elden began his career formulating coatings right out of college after earning his chemistry degree.

Installer Spotlight: Advanced Lining Rehabilitates a Community’s Lifeline in Montana

Installer Spotlight: Advanced Lining Rehabilitates a Community's Lifeline in Montana In the picturesque region outside Bozeman, Montana, a 40' x 40' steel potable water tank served as the main source of drinking water for the community. Over time, the tank began to leak, leading to rust and corrosion on its exterior.
