Primary & Secondary Containment

Polyurea has been successfully used as primary and secondary containment in many industries such as oil & gas, potable water, waste water, sewage, fish hatcheries, and piping conduit interiors.

Its strong water and chemical resistance properties make polyurea an excellent selection for thoroughly containing many liquids associated with containment breach. Containment is the key function of the polyurea coating, but it also protects the containment substrate from corrosion caused by harsh acidic or caustic chemicals or environmental conditions.

Today, storage tanks are often highly regulated with regular inspections, reports written and certifications earned. When primary and secondary containment tanks reach the end of their lifespan, polyurea can bring them back to a certified condition.

Because secondary containment is a safety backup, it is just important to have a strong resilient coating. Polyurea forms a seamless membrane which can be applied to many surfaces and can conform to any shape to eliminate the risk of the liner leaking. Its elongation properties allow for movement of metal, concrete and earthen substrate without tearing the monolithic barrier.

For potable water, SPI has a specially formulated polyurea for the application and meets USDA requirements. It is 100% solids with no solvents or VOCs.

Polyurea can be applied to pipes entering and leaving the containment area.

Polyurea instant gel time, desired thickness in a single application minimizes down time and reduces cost.
