Selection factors of Paint Fuel Storage Tank - SUMAC Auto Recycling Equipment Co.,Ltd

1. Chemical corrosion resistance
Fuel is corrosive to a certain extent, so you need to choose a paint that is resistant to fuel corrosion. Like epoxy paint, it has good tolerance to a variety of chemicals including fuel, which can effectively prevent the tank from being corroded by fuel and extend the service life of the tank.
2. Adhesion
The paint must be tightly attached to the tank material to avoid falling off. Metal tanks generally use primers with strong adhesion, such as zinc-rich primers, which can form chemical bonds with the metal surface, greatly enhance adhesion, and make the entire paint layer firmly attached to the tank.
3. Weather resistance
If the tank is placed outdoors and is affected by sunlight, rain, temperature changes, etc. for a long time, you need to choose a topcoat with good weather resistance. Acrylic polyurethane topcoat can resist ultraviolet radiation, prevent the paint from fading and powdering, and maintain good appearance and protective performance under different climatic conditions.
4. Drying speed
The construction progress is affected by the drying speed of the paint. Quick-drying paint can shorten the construction cycle and reduce downtime, but make sure that the drying process does not affect the quality of the paint. At the same time, it is necessary to select paints with appropriate drying speeds according to the temperature and humidity of the construction environment. For example, some quick-drying paints may not dry well in low-temperature environments.
5. Environmental protection
Taking into account the health of construction workers and the impact on the environment, environmentally friendly paints with low VOC (volatile organic compounds) content are preferred. This type of paint emits less harmful substances into the air, can create a safer construction environment, and also meets environmental protection requirements.
