Industrial & Chemical Tank Lining in North Carolina

United Floor Coatings specializes in industrial tank lining, coating, and relining solutions for chemical, petroleum, food & beverage, water treatment, and secondary containment tanks across North Carolina.

With decades of experience in surface preparation (sand‑ or shot‑blasting, ice‑blasting), we ensure coatings and liners are applied to clean, structurally sound surfaces.

Why Choose Us

• Complete tank prep & cleaning — abrasive, ice, or dry media blasting.
• Choice of lining systems — epoxy, phenolic, vinyl ester, polyurethane, fiberglass or custom pre‑molded liner.
• Regulatory compliance — formulations that meet OSHA, EPA, API, and STI standards.
• Long-term corrosion protection — seamless liners resist chemicals, abrasion, UV exposure and microbial attack.
• Local coverage & rapid response — crew stations across NC for quick mobilization and minimized downtime.

Our Tank Lining Services

Surface Prep & Inspection
We start by identifying corrosion or coating failures, then remove contaminants and old linings through abrasive or ice‑media blasting for optimal adhesion.

Coatings & Liners
Select from high‑performance epoxies, phenolic, urethane‑cement or vinyl ester systems depending on tank contents and temperatures. We also offer pre‑molded nylon or fiberglass liners for chemical or water tanks

Installation & Quality Assurance
Installed by certified technicians to strict thickness and adhesion tolerances. Final inspection includes spark tests, holiday detection, and documentation to industry standards such as STI or API specifications. Repairs, relining, and long-term maintenance programs available.

Typical Applications

• Above‑ground steel tanks storing fuel, chemicals, or water
• Underground or secondary containment vessels
• Elevated structures like elevated water or sump tanks
• Food/beverage and wastewater processing tanks, where FDA- or NSF‑approved coatings are required

Industries we serve include power generation, pharmaceutical, chemical processing, food & beverage, utilities and municipal water treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between tank painting vs. lining?
Tank painting uses liquid protective coatings to prevent rust, while linings (like vinyl ester or pre‑molded systems) provide thicker, more chemical-resistant barriers ideal for corrosive or high-wear environments.

How long do tank liners typically last?
Service life depends on the environment, but most epoxy or phenolic tank liners provide 10–25 years of protection when properly installed and maintained.

Are these coatings regulated?
Yes. We work with coatings that comply with OSHA, STI, API, and EPA guidelines appropriate for the stored material and tank type.
