Tnemec Company has been celebrating the innovation of water tank design since 2006 with their annual Tank of the Year competition. In 2021, nearly 300 tanks from around the country were nominated for this award. The Elmendorf, texas composite water tank takes a spot in Tnemec's Tank of the Year Top 10 list.
The representatives at Tnemec Company describe, “The tank was coated using a full coating system from Tnemec, including a zinc-rich urethane primer and the performance-proven fluoropolymer finish coat, HydroFlon.”
The HydroFlon fluoropolymer finish ensures long-lasting gloss and color retention. This next-generation, high-performance fluoropolymer contains Lumiflon FEVE technology, which is the main contributor to the coating system's hyper-durability. In addition, Lumiflon FEVE resin protects water tank surfaces, helping 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.
