Indoor Firewater Basins in Factories and large Buildings − Long-term Protection with Chesterton Coating PROGUARD CN 200

Large residential buildings or factories need sufficient storage of fire extinguishing water in case of emergency. Strohbeck GmbH, longtime Partner of Chesterton International GmbH, protects the indoor concrete tanks with our coatings − providing a durable, effective protection against the large volumes of water.

Concrete fire water and sprinkler tanks for large buildings require reliable protection against leaks. Uncoated concrete becomes porous due to the massive exposure to water. In order to prevent the concrete from damage and to provide long-lasting protection, indoor concrete tanks should be coated with a suitable protection system.

„Strohbeck GmbH“ is continuously conducting coating applications for indoor concrete tanks - whether new construction or renewal. The company has extensive experiences in surface protection. For many years, „Strohbeck GmbH“ primarily uses Ceramic-Polymer coating systems; a coating line from Chesterton. The performance and ease of application convinced this specialist company!

Application of the protection systems – Step by step to the concrete surfaces

Firstly, the concrete surfaces are prepared using a dustfree technology. Blowholes and fixing holes are covered with a high-quality filler.

Now the cleaned concrete substrate is primed with the specific base coat CP-SYNTHOFLOOR 8010. Quartz sand is sprinkled onto the wet layer, which forms an anchoring profile for the following layer. Floor unevennesses are levelled by an additional scratch coat (primer enriched with quartz sand).

The versatile coating PROGUARD CN 200 is easily applied by airless spray. Due to its high sagging limit, PROGUARD CN 200 can also be sprayed on vertical surfaces with a layer thickness of 1000 μm − this allows applications in just one coat and one pass, even for complex surfaces. The coating cures completely within a few days; the tank can be filled and put into operation rapidly.

The Chesterton International GmbH produces high-quality, solvent-free protective coatings for different kinds of industries. Due to the integration of microscopic ceramic and other special particles, coating systems with outstanding physical properties such as excellent chemical resistances, high temperature stabilities and extreme abrasion resistances are generated.
The Chesterton International coatings are applied directly on the blasted substrate (e.g. steel, stainless steel, concrete) without the previous use of a primer. In this way extreme adhesion is achieved. The scopes of the Chesterton coatings are for instance all kinds of storage tanks, pipelines or process vessels for the oil & gas industry as well as different maritime constructions, waste water or drinking water applications.
