Roto lining to protect your steel vessels from corrosion

 Having a steel vessel come with their fair share of challenges. One of the most important ones is that most steel vessels are susceptible to corrosion, contamination, and leaks. It is important that you regularly inspect your vessel so that it doesn’t comprise the quality of the liquid stored. 

A great practical solution to tackle the corrosion is — to install an anti corrosive lining in your vessels. The anti-corrosive coating will prevent the surfaces of the troughs from coming into contact with the stored liquid. 

Roto Lining


Acting as an industrial pioneer, Polycon is the only company in the UAE to offer a Polymer Lining for corrosion protection. A polymer lining is also known as roto lining a technique that helps prevent corrosion caused by a wide range of acids, alkalis, oxidizers, solvents, and salts by applying a layer of polyethylene enriched with corrosion-resistant chemicals.
What makes a polymer lining stand out from other linings is that its lining process forms a protective layer of 2-11 mm thickness which is maximum compared to all other linings. This gives it a host of other advantages like —

  • Reduced breakdown and longer uptime. Making it a completely reliable option.
  • It reduces the overall cost of the asset’s life cycle.
  • High impact resistance 
  • No impact on the structural integrity of part being lined
  • Seamless construction with a smooth interior surface, thereby reducing failure points.
  • Drastically reduces permeation through coating & possible corrosion of the metal substrate.
  • It’s easily repairable compared to other alternatives 

The above advantages make the polymer lining a go-to-choice for steel vessels and even various other assets.
It is extremely important that you protect your steel vessels from corrosion as it causes structural degradation, making them toxic and unfit for use.

 

Polycon also provides custom molding solutions to various industries as per requirement. Other products from Polycon include -  Water Storage TanksRoad & Track Barriers, Portable Restrooms, Spill Containment Pallets, and more.

The Importance of road safety barriers to prevent accidents

 

 

Every year road accidents are one of the major causes of death. It is extremely important to have road barrier wherever necessary like— in places of ongoing construction, potholes, landslides, diversions, etc. These barriers are very much necessary to driver and passenger safety on the road.

Road barrier


So how do these road barriers exactly help?

  • Allow increased road safety

These devices act as a safety barrier and are designated to help increase the level of security on roads and highways, to protect the drivers and vehicles in case of an accident. They are typically placed the middle of the highways to prevent out of control vehicles from entering a lane on the opposite side. They also help avoid direct crashes on roads into objects like poles, trees, and traffic signs.

  • Need less maintenance

In comparison to other safety signals, road safety barriers need minimal maintenance. They have minimum costs and are designed to last for years. They are also capable of withstanding high impact force and are very durable.

  • Reduce traffic jams

Road safety barriers have a positive impact in reducing traffic congestions. Since traffic accidents are reduced by using road barriers and lead to less congestion and traffic on the roads. With minimum maintenance costs, safety barriers can be used for a long period of time unlike other options, whose installation, repair, and maintenance can cause delays and traffic congestions.

Polycon’s latest barrier and crash cushion systems can make a great deal of difference to roadway safety, with new technology offering major benefits to road users. Polycon’s range of road barriers is strong, sturdy, and flexible, ideal for today’s roads.

Made from high density UV-Stabilized polyethylene material, these barriers are safe and low impact in case of accidents, protecting vehicle and passengers. They are also lightweight and can be handled without a crane, results in saving of loading/unloading cost. Having known for being maintenance-free, they are a leading choice in the market. They are also available in various colors.

 

Extend your Asset's Life using Polymer Lining

Rotolining/ Polymer Lining is a lining technique that is used for all industrial process equipment and parts that are of complex shapes and have limited access. One of the key benefits of polymer lining is that it allows the significantly thicker lining of complex objects as compared to other alternatives, without difficulty.

Anti corrosive lining


Catering to industries like Oil & Gas, MEP maintenance, Thermal Power plants, chemicals, etc. The application of polymer lining has been fast-growing across these sectors.

Polycon is the only company in the UAE to offer Polymer Lining for Corrosion Protection. Roto / Polymer Lining helps prevent corrosion caused by a wide range of acids, alkalies, oxidizers, solvents and salts by applying a layer of polyethylene enriched with corrosion-resistant chemicals.

This lining is very useful as it reduces breakdowns within complex objects that are part of machinery and equipment. Thus reducing machinery breakdowns and providing a longer and reliable uptime. This in turn helps extend the asset’s life and also leads to a reduction in the asset’s lifecycle cost.

Common applications of polymer lining include—

  • Carbon Steel Pipes, Spools, Headers & Fittings
  • Acid Tankers & Vessels

When working with Polycon, our experts ensure that no impact is caused by the structural integrity of part being lined. The seamless construction with a smooth interior surface- reduces failure points. The coating drastically reduces the permeation and any possible corrosion of the metal substrate. Since the liner is mechanically bonded, it eliminates the use of adhesives and reduces the risk of delamination.

Offering chemical resistance and high impact resistance, polymer lining reduces breakdowns and maintenance costs. Thus, promoting significantly longer uptime, it allows substantial savings on the asset’s life cycle cost.

If you are looking to increase the lifecycle of your asset, reach out to Polycon for their reliable, sturdy and corrosion protection Roto / Polymer lining.
