In-situ tank refurbishment is usually several times more economical and more practical than replacement

Archco-Rigidon Nu-Tank 400E is a high build epoxy lining system developed to give long term protection against corrosion.
Minimal preparation is required making the system ideal for applications where conventional blast cleaning cannot be carried out.

The high build metallic anti-corrosion primer is supplied as a two pack system which is mixed together then brushed, rollered or sprayed onto
the prepared surface.

Nu-Tank 400E reinforced glass flake top coat is mixed and applied in the same manner as the primer. The contrast in colour between primer and top coat enable accurate coverage during application and the use of the reinforced coating greatly reduces permeation of the finished lining.

Nu-Tank 400E can be post cured in four hours, meeting all current regulations for drinking water.

The finished lining provides a smooth substrate, eliminating areas where legionella pneumophilia (Legionnaires Disease) could multiply. The lining will also resist growth of micro-acquatic organisms (BS 6920: 1988/90).

As the Nu-Tank 400E system in the main employs solventless epoxy materials, it is ideal for use in confined spaces or areas such as hospitals and residential care facilities where fumes could create a problem.
