IntergardTank Coating Systems can save you as much as 35% in material costs. Their high-volume solids are the reason why. Intergard Conventional Intergard Conventional Tank Coating Epoxy Liners Tank Coating Epoxy Liners (1 Gal.) (1 Gal.) Over 90% Solids by Volume Approximately 55-60% Solids by Volume These illustrations tell the story. Using the volume solids of a coating is now widely accepted as the only meaningful method which will give a true estimate of the material costs on a square foot basis. And when you approach your jobs this way, you'll see why Intergard Tank Coatings can mean significant savings. But there are a number of other reasons you should use them, too. Intergard Tank Coatings are unique. Applied at over 90% solids, they provide maximum corrosion prevention in tanks, cargo holds, bilges and ballast tanks. They are characterized by terminal epoxy groupings which combine with the tank coating reactor to form a continuous coating of extreme durability, hardness and high gloss. This results in a porcelain-like finish so smooth and compact that most cargoes will not adhere, so only a minimum amount of High Solids- High Coverage or Spreading Rate; Low Cost per Square Foot Low Solids- Low Coverage or Spreading Rate; High Cost per Square Foot clean-up and lay-up time is necessary before taking on the next cargo. Intergard Tank Coatings, in addition to being approved for sophisticated cargo/ballast service, are also approved for potable water tanks and meet the requirements of other regulatory bodies for the carriage of edible products. Intergard Tank Coatings are extremely economical to apply as only two coats are needed and special primers are not required since one coat acts as the priming coat for the other. Any voids or holidays are easily detected by color difference between the two coats. Intergard Tank Coatings offer excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces and unsurpassed tenacity to sand- blasted steel and most shop primers. They also provide high chemical and petroleum resistance, superior acid and alkaline resistance, excellent abrasion resistance, both fresh and salt water resistance, heat resistance and superior retained flexibility characteristics. An advantage in maintenance can also be realized because Intergard Tank Coatings can be readily butter- worthed or cleaned with a variety of detergents without danger of soften- ing or damaging the coatings.
