Frequently Asked Questions About Containment & Tank Coatings

Industrial facilities throughout Michigan, Ohio, and Northern Indiana rely on properly engineered coating systems for secondary containments and storage vessels to protect critical assets. Whether the structure holds water, chemicals, or process materials, the right containment coatings and industrial tank coatings play a direct role in safety, compliance, and long-term durability. From lining a coating tank to restoring aging concrete containment areas, selecting and applying the correct system helps prevent corrosion, leaks, and costly production interruptions. The questions below address common concerns about performance, compatibility, and installation timelines.

What Types of Containment & Tank Coatings Do You Install?
MSC Floors installs a wide range of industrial tank coatings and containment coatings designed for concrete and steel substrates. Systems include high-build epoxy linings, plural component coatings, vinyl ester systems, and specialty chemical-resistant formulations. These solutions are selected based on stored material, temperature exposure, and anticipated service conditions. Coating systems for secondary containments are engineered to resist chemical attack while maintaining structural integrity. Whether restoring an aging coating tank or lining a newly constructed containment structure, each system is specified to match environmental demands and long-term performance expectations.
Are Your Coatings Resistant to Harsh Chemicals?
Yes. Chemical resistance is one of the primary functions of industrial tank coatings. Facilities that store acids, solvents, fuels, or process chemicals require containment coatings capable of withstanding continuous exposure without breakdown. Epoxy and vinyl ester systems are commonly specified for aggressive environments because they form dense, impermeable barriers. Proper surface preparation is essential to ensure adhesion and prevent premature failure. When coating a tank used for chemical storage, material compatibility testing and environmental evaluation are conducted to confirm the selected system will perform under real operating conditions.
Can Coatings Be Applied to Both New & Existing Containment Structures?
Containment coatings can be applied to both newly constructed and existing tanks or secondary containment areas. For new construction, coating selection is integrated into the design phase to ensure compatibility with the substrate. For existing structures, inspection and surface preparation are critical. Deteriorated areas may require patching or resurfacing before the new lining is installed. When rehabilitating an older coating tank, damaged sections are removed and the substrate is mechanically prepared to create a strong bond. This process extends service life without requiring full structural replacement.
How Do You Determine Which Coating Is Right for My Containment Area or Tank?
Selecting the appropriate coating system involves evaluating several factors. The stored material, operating temperature, exposure to abrasion, and required compliance standards all influence specification. Tank material also plays a role, as steel and concrete require different preparation methods and primers. For coating systems for secondary containments, spill scenarios and regulatory requirements are considered. MSC Floors conducts site evaluations and reviews operational data to recommend a system that balances durability, cure time, and lifecycle cost. The goal is to align performance characteristics with real-world facility conditions.
How Long Does the Installation Process Take?
Project timelines depend on tank size, surface condition, and system thickness. Preparation often represents a significant portion of the schedule, particularly when removing failed industrial tank coatings or addressing corrosion. High-build or plural component systems may require staged application to achieve proper cure and film thickness. In many cases, work can be coordinated with scheduled outages to reduce operational disruption. Clear project planning ensures each coating tank or containment structure receives adequate preparation, application, inspection, and cure time to deliver reliable long-term protection.
