AkzoNobel has introduced Enviroline 405HTR, a single-coat glass fiber reinforced lining system into its International coatings range. Enviroline 405HTR is designed to reduce product range complexity while meeting the ever-changing environmental, performance, and application demands of the North America protective coatings market.

The high solids, ultra-low volatile organic compound (VOC) Enviroline 405HTR lining system is formulated to provide a more sustainable and health, safety and environmentally conscious option, without compromising high-level protection. Enviroline® 405HTR  protects within a broad range of environments and temperatures—from continuous immersion in a wide range of chemicals including crude oil and hydrocarbon water mixtures of up to 250°F (120°C)—to applications with temperatures as low as 50°F (10°C).

“Enviroline 405HTR is a lining system that has come of age,” said Karl Nollsch, AkzoNobel’s North American Linings Market Champion. “With just one product, facility owners can not only achieve environmental compliance and measurable cost-savings, but unparalleled protection for diverse applications including petroleum storage tanks, pipe exteriors, biofuel storage tanks, and vessels used for natural gas extraction. There’s no other lining system that can offer this kind of flexibility.”

The glass fiber and flake reinforced material has greater wetting properties and improved leveling, and an increased pot life for ‘hot potting.’ With super-fast cure times, Enviroline 405HTR consistently allows storage vessels to be put back into service in as little as 14 hours after coating. The single coat, high build application (20-60 mils) also helps owners save on labor costs, which together helps minimize disruption to production, while reducing the overall cost of installation.
