Thermoshield Tank Shield is a highly efficient, flexible coating that is designed to protect and lower the external surface temperature of storage tanks. It is non-toxic and friendly to the environment. It is washable and resists both harsh chemicals and dirt pick-up. This water-based coating is made from an acrylic resin combined with vacuumed ceramic microspheres. The resulting compound creates a thin, thermally-efficient blanket. Thermoshield Tank Shield is also fire resistant. Tank Shield is available in a variety of different colors. It dries into a matte finish that can be made glossy with an additional application of Thermoshield Clear Coat.
Tank Shield can be used to reduce the surface temperature of metal storage tanks, petroleum pipelines, water tanks, grain storage silos, and most chemical storage tanks. This coating is resistant to 26 different harsh chemicals. It can adhere to steel and a wide variety of other substrates, including wood, urethane foam, galvanized steel, aluminum, concrete, asbestos and many other materials.
All surfaces to be covered must be clean and free from rust, dust, dirt, oil or grease. The surface must also be smoothed with a sander or wire brush to remove any chips or loose paint. A rust inhibitor, such as Thermoshield Rust Converter, should be applied to rusty areas.
Each container should be stirred thoroughly at low speed before use. Thinning is not required, but clean water in amounts of up to 0.24 Liter (1 cup) per gallon may be added to replace evaporation losses or to adjust for spray equipment configuration.
