PLASITE 4550
PLASITE 4550 is a 100% solids, reinforced, premium novolac epoxy coating for internal tank lining. It is resistant to a broad range of chemicals such as fuels, salts, alkalis, strong inorganic acids, some solvents, sour crude oil and 98% sulfuric acid.
Features & Benefits
- High Impact Resistance
- Superior adhesion to metal substrates and concrete
- Outstanding adhesion to stainless steel, even with low blast profiles
- Well suited to protect alloy steels typically used to wet FGD systems where pitting and crevice corrosion often occur
- Fast cure-to-service; depending upon application can be placed into service within 36 hours
- Minimal blushing characteristics
- Can be applied in temperatures as low as 35 °F (1.7 °C)
- Can be applied as a one-coat system
- Tested and approved for crude oil transportation up to 350 °F (177 °C)
- Superior thermal shock resistance from -40 to 350 °F (-40-177 °C)
- Complies with the API RP 652 definition of a reinforced liner.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCT FOR SURFACE PREPARATION
HoldTight® 102

HoldTight® 102 completely removes all salts, resulting in no conductivity. It also removes abrasives and debris from the surface’s profile providing a better surface area to bond with coating. For marine vessels and equipment HoldTight® leaves a clean, rust-free surface for up to 72 hours, large areas of structures can be blasted and cleaned completely before coating application, instead of having to be coated immediately after blasting every day.
HoldTight® 102 can be worked into any blasting process to achieve a totally clean surface, with zero flash-rust and zero residue left behind. HoldTight® is a clear, simple additive with visible results, eliminating both natural and artificial contaminants. At sea HoldTight® 102 is safe to use and compatible with a wide variety of surfaces, including steel, concrete, fiberglass, aluminum, composites, and more!
