To ensure the tank's durability, Tnemec Company explains, “For longevity, all components of the tank's steel were painted using innovative coating systems from Tnemec, including the fluoropolymer finish, HydroFlon.”
The HydroFlon fluoropolymer finish ensures long-lasting gloss and color retention. This next-generation, high-performance fluoropolymer, contains Lumiflon FEVE technology, which is a main contributor to the coating system's hyper-durability. Lumiflon FEVE resin provides protection to water tank surfaces, helping to prevent coating degradation at the hands of UV radiation, salt, and water. FEVE-based coatings also offer superior color and gloss retention and anti-corrosion properties that maintain the coating's structural integrity.
