Chemical resistance
Tankguard products provide resistance to diverse and constantly changing nature of stored or transported chemicals, oils and petroleum products and are suitable for various temperature ranges.
Trusted to guard responsibly
Reliable and trusted tank coatings since 1956
Tank coatings must serve a dual purpose – to protect the contained substance against contamination and to protect the substrate of the tank against possible damage like corrosion. With nearly 70 years of experience in the tank coating business, Jotun provides efficient and superior protection to various tanks, such as storage tanks in the refinery, petrochemical and chemical industry and cargo tanks in the shipping industry.
Tankguard are a range of reliable and trusted tank coatings that ensure safe and efficient handling, storing and transporting of vital products.
Fast return to service
When your tanks are out of service, they are not making you any money. Using products like Tankguard SF and Tankguard Plus, you can significantly reduce shutdown time and return your tanks to service faster.
Easy application
All Tankguard products can be sprayed with single leg airless spray equipment and be applied in a wide range of temperatures.
Tested and certified
Tankguard products are independently tested and certified with global specifications available, to meet the needs of handling, storing or transporting crude oil, chemicals, petrochemicals, solvent and even potable water.
Storage tank linings
Storage tanks are vulnerable to corrosion and pitting which can cause contamination of the stored products or leakages. The right tank lining can provide exceptional anticorrosive performance to make sure that the tanks stay in service, securely. Jotun offers Tankguard linings that significantly reduce application and curing time, with the chemical resistance needed, enabling you to return your tanks to service more quickly than before.
Cargo tank coatings
The majority of cargo tanks are constructed from carbon steel. These tanks need to be protected from corrosion and from the cargoes being transported. Depending on the trading pattern of a tanker, different properties are required from the tank coating. Jotun offers cargo tank coatings that deliver a wide range of cargo compatibility, operational flexibility and corrosion protection.
Maintain steel integrity®
The impact of faulty maintenance or protection to storage tanks can be significant – with the end product compromised, potentially reducing production capacity, and in extreme cases possibly causing a shutdown of the facility. Jotun's tank linings have proven performance with extensive track record, and are ideal for maintenance ensuring on-time successful application every time. Jotun also offers other products and solutions tailored to protect onshore assets and ensure well-informed maintenance decisions.
Product Resistance Guide for storage and cargo tanks
Tankguard products can be applied under the most aggressive immersion or exposure conditions. There are several things to consider when selecting the best tank coating to meet individual storage or cargo transportation needs.
One critical question to ask is, what do you need to protect your tank from? The nature of the contents affects the selection of the most suitable tank coating. To assist in the selection process, Jotun offers Product Resistance Guide to provide guidance on the coating's compatibility with chemicals stored or cargoes carried.
