Modern Masters Metal Effects
Permacoat Xtreme Sealer
Modern Masters, a manufacturer of high-
end specialty paints and decorative finishes,
has added Permacoat Xtreme Sealer to its
Metal Effects’ family of products. Perma-
coat Xtreme is an all-in-one water base,
clear, non-yellowing, protective sealer and
topcoat. It is designed to work over Metal
Effects Rust Activated Iron Paint, a reactive
water-base paint which contains metal par-
ticles that when activated with Metal Ef-
fects Rust Activator speeds up the
oxidization process creating the weathered
appearance of Rusted Iron in a matter of
minutes. This innovative new clear sealer
chemically arrests the rust finish, minimiz-
ing any further corrosion, and then self-
crosslinks to create a weather resistant
barrier. Permacoat Xtreme will now allow
painters to seal and topcoat in just one step,
saving time and money. This new advanced
product is available in four ounce, 16
ounce, and gallon container sizes.

PPG offers coatings for biofuel storage tank
lining applications

PPG Industries' protective and marine coatings business has introduced Novaguard, Phenguard and Sigmaguard CSF coatings for petrochemical and biofuel storage tank lining applications in the U.S. The addition of solvent-free Novaguard and Sigmaguard CSF coatings and of solventborne Phenguard coatings provides storage tank owners and maintenance engineers with a comprehensive range of PPG tank lining solutions for all types of chemical storage.

Sigmaguard CSF 650 coating is a solvent-free, single-coat, amine-cured epoxy lining for tanks that contain aliphatic petroleum products or crude oil at temperatures of up to 140 degrees Farenheit. It can be used to line new tanks and repair pitting corrosion damage or as a reinforced lining for refurbished tank bottoms.

Solvent-free Novaguard 840 coating is a single-coat, novolac phenolic epoxy for tanks storing solvents, chemicals, refined fuels and crude oil at temperatures of up to 194 degrees Farenheit. As a maintenance or repair coating, it is well suited for filling difficult "omega" pit holes.

Novaguard 890 coating is a solvent-free, single-coat,
novolac phenolic epoxy lining that meets emerging
petrochemical industry requirements for the storage of biofuels,
including ethanol fuel blends. In addition to holding crude oil at
temperatures of up to 194 degrees Farenheit, Novaguard 890
coating can be used to store aggressive biofuels, such as gaso-
lines with five to 95 percent ethanol. Like Novaguard 840 coat-
ing, it has excellent pit-filling characteristics and can be used as
a reinforced lining for refurbished tank bottoms.

PPG has added Novaguard, Phenguard and Sigmaguard CSF coatings to its portfolio of tank lining solutions and they are designed to protect against all types of chemical storage.
