Sherwin-Williams Launches High Temperature,
High Pressure-Resistant Tank Lining
Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine
Coatings recently launched Nova-Plate
325, an extended lifecycle, 100 percent
solids tank lining for high temperature
crude oil, produced water and frac tank
applications. Additionally, Nova-Plate
325 is appropriate for universal “swing
service” applications in refined fuel and
ethanol service.
Nova-Plate 325 was designed for use
both onshore and offshore where conventional systems cannot
withstand
contents
that have
been extracted under pressure,
and at temperatures as
high as 300˚
F (150˚ C)
for crude oil
and 210˚ F (99˚ C) for produced water.
“Our labs are working directly
with the oil and gas industry to meet
their ever increasing needs,” said Ron
Knecht, market director for Oil & Gas
– North America, Sherwin-Williams
Protective & Marine Coatings. “A lin-
ing specification for heavy crude oil
must take today’s high temperatures
and pressures into account. Nova-
Plate 325 is formulated with advanced
novolac technology, incorporating
components of glass and ceramic,
that promotes a tank’s long life un-
der the most demanding of immersion
conditions.”
With Nova-Plate 325, asset owners
can expect a fast return to service, with
the drying schedule allowing for foot
traffic in six hours and cure to service
in 48 hours, for a typical 20 mil DFT
application at 77˚ F ( 25˚ C). In reha-
bilitation applications, Nova-Plate 325
can be applied in a single coat up to 60
mils DFT.
