Maintaining Ambient Temperatures

Keeping Volatile Product Stable

While conventional insulation on the sidewalls helped, the hot summer sun was still warming the internal contents.

Using Mascoat Insulative Products

The product in the tanks had to stay close to ambient temperature because elevated temps. could cause the product to become unstable. While conventional insulation on the sidewalls helped, the hot summer sun was still warming the internal contents.

The ideal solution

The roofs were difficult to insulate because of the geometry and equipment that would leave seams where water could seep into causing corrosion.

The water-based, one-part coating was easily applied by a minimal crew of 3 people while conforming to the geometry and ancillary roof equipment effortlessly. Since it is spray-applied and there are no seams, the risk of CUI is effectively none.

Project Success

After the first successful application on 3 tank roofs, the product has now been specified on any tanks in the terminal that have issues with solar heat gain.
