are difficult to access for painting: interiors above the waterline, for example.
Unsealed roof lap-plate seams and intermittently welded roof support systems
represent common areas requiring coating maintenance. The evaluation and
study of the a Minnesota citys 400,000-gallon steel water storage tank, completed

Background
Universal corrosion theory confirms that for rust to form on a
steel surface, an anode, cathode, electrolyte, and metallic path-
way must be present. If any of these elements are missing, cor-
rosion will not occur. A steel construction elementcolumn,
girder, beam, or plateis comprised of countless grains or
cells of steel. Some of the cells act as cathodes; others act as
anodes. Their proximity to one another provides the metallic
pathway needed for the transfer of electrons. Rain, snow, con-
densation, or potable water in a tank provides the electrolytic
component.
Corrosion is an electrochemical phenomenon. One method
to prevent corrosion is to prohibit the formation of rust by con-
necting a more noble or passive metal (steel) to a less noble
active metal. Less noble metals (zinc, in this example) act as
sacrificial anodic materials because providing the electrons that
protect the steel surface eventually exhausts them. The anode
provides the electrons that passivate the protected steel sur-
faces, making it a cathode. In the case of a water storage tank,
cathodic protection may be provided by an impressed current
system (see AWWA D104). Conceivably, lining the steel surfaces
with zinc-aluminum metalizinga slow, very expensive, but
long-lasting alternativecould also provide passivation. One of
the authors is aware of one municipality that has experienced
very good corrosion protection using such a method.
The Anoka water tank evaluation revealed extensive rust
bleed and corrosion along the edge of the structural roof sup-
port angles; around the compression ring; between intermittent
welds, the upper shell stiffener ring, and roof; and at roof radial

in these nooks, crevices, and edges.
Condensation forms in these areas (hence, they are called vapor areas) and
causes premature coating failure, leading to rusting, flaking, or coating delami-
nation. Such corrosion can lead to serious structural problems and costly repairs
if left unchecked. Depending on the design of the tank, seal welding of roof-sup-
porting members in the vapor areas may offer a permanent yet costly solution.
However, in other tanks, seal welding cannot be done because it would prevent
the movement or expansion that has been designed into such areas.
The evaluation allowed the following question to be raised: could an organic
zinc coating alone protect the roof and roof support system from corrosion?
Would it sacrifice itselfact as an anodeif not over-coated, or would it have
performance similar to other barrier-type immersion-grade epoxy coating sys-
tems? Barrier coatings protect against corrosion by preventing an atmospheric
or a submerged electrolytein this case waterfrom contacting the substrate,
thereby removing one of the four components necessary for corrosion.
For decades, barrier coatings containing rust-inhibitive pigments such as lead
or zinc-chromate had been used as primers under topcoat systems on the interiors

ganic zinc-rich system and the guarantee into plans and specs that were sent to
contractors.
The case study consisted of applying the three coating systems shown in Table
1 and Fig. 1 and comparing their performance. All three systems came from the
manufacturer of the singlecoat product in the test.
The City took the tank out of service in June 2003. The specifications incorpo-
rated a scope of work that included erecting a full-containment structure per
SSPC-Guide 6, Class 2A, and completely removing interior and exterior coatings.
Though the project schedule allowed seven weeks to complete the work, the con-
tractor finished in four weeks and at $7,000 under budget, allowing the tank to
be returned to service earlier than anticipated.
Performance Evaluation
The engineering firm conducted a follow-
up warranty inspection in June of 2005
two years after testing the three coating
systemsincluding the inspection of the
single-coat MCU zincrich. AWWA D102-03
Standard, in Section 5.2.1.General, states:
When specified, the inside surfaces of
the tank shall be inspected within one
year after coating work has been com-
pleted, to determine whether any repair
work is necessary, so this two-year war-
ranted test period provided more than
sufficient time for any problems to sur-
face. At the engineering firms invitation,
representatives of the coating manufac-
turer participated in the inspection. The
Fig. 2: Condition of support angle at warranty inspection for MCU Zinc-rich
inspection revealed no significant failures
of the single coat MCU organic zinc-rich
system when compared with the two
more traditional systems (Figs. 2 and 3).
The only notable failures occurred over a
manway cover, amounting to less than
110 of 1% of the total test area. The fail-
ure was traced to an application error, not
to the product itself (Fig. 4).
Benefits
The initial success of the MCU zinc-rich
coating, applied at 3 to 4 mils DFT, was
measured by the performance criteria es-
tablished for this test project case study
(no blistering or peeling, less than 10%
corrosion per SSPC-Vis 4). This success in-
dicated a method by which this water
community could save thousands of dol-

Future Value
Adopting a new coating technology or employing an existing coating in a new
environment may require owners or engineers to adjust their thinking, but not
necessarily to accept greater risks. The engineering firm successfully imple-
mented this test project case study without any risk to the client or to the safety
of their drinking water supply by providing the coating manufacturer the op-
portunity to assume responsibility for a product in which it had great confidence
yet limited in-service statistics.
Really, our only concern was meeting the project timetable, as we had to have
the tank back on line by August when water demand is greatest. Though we set a
seven-week schedule, the project was done three weeks early, and the tank was
back on line the first part of July. The project just went very smoothly, and shows
the potential that exists for municipalities to substantially save on labor and ma-
terials involved in water tank painting and/or rehabilitation.
The single-coat product SEH tested was Sherwin-Williams Corothane I Galva-
pac, B65 Series. Classic Protective Coatings applied the coatings for the testing.

A Comparison of Ultra-Long-Life

or water storage tank applications, alkyds, the much-trusted coatings of the past, were
summarily replaced by superior performing poly- urethane coatings in the late 1970s and
early 1980s. Polyurethanes were then, in the early 1990s, supplanted by polyurethanes
with clear coats and polyurethanes with UV protectorscoatings that promised resistance
to fading and a twenty-year service life. These later polyurethanes are now being chal-
lenged by fluorourethane and polysiloxane coatingscoatings that, although developed in the 1980s,
are only recently being used for water storage tank applications. Fluorourethanes and polysiloxanes
are ultra-high-performance coatings that are said to have a service life of up to thirty years.
This article gives an overview of long-life coating systems for water tank exteriors and interiors,
including a relative comparison of salient application and performance properties.

What defines the end of an exterior coatings service life? When
the first rust spot appears? When a certain percentage of primer

when the finish coat is not aesthetically pleasing? For this arti-
cle, the definition of the service life of a coating is the amount of
time before repainting becomes necessary due to coating failure
and corrosion. Future touch-up may be required on isolated
coating failures. If aesthetics are a concern, the owner may have

Color Availability
Most exterior tank coatings are available in practically all colors. Many times, color and aesthetic con-
cerns drive the selection of the coating.
Ease of Application
Generally, single-component materials dry on surfaces via the evaporation of the solvent, while mul-
tiple-component materials generally cure by a chemical reaction of the materials. Some coating types
are more sensitive to atmospheric conditions than others, and this should be taken into account dur-
ing coating selection.
Single-component materials, such as alkyds, acrylics, moisture-cured urethanes, and silicone alkyds,
are easier to mix and apply than the two- and three-component, higher-performance coating materials.
During both application and cure, moisture-cured coatings are prone to blushing when exposed to
humidity or dew. Good painting practices must be followed for a coating to
perform as intended. For example, to perform properly, all components of a
moisture-cured urethane must be mixed using the correct component ratios
and power mixers; clean thinner in clean containers should be used as well.
In addition, most coating manufacturers recommend using shorter roller nap,
high-quality roller covers for application. The shorter roller nap is somewhat
more difficult to useit requires the applicator to reapply the coating to the
roller more frequently because the shorter nap does not hold as much paint
as the longer nap. Care needs to be taken to apply and roll the material to
achieve the required dry film thickness.
Because of its sensitivity to coating thickness, a polyurethane clear coat
is much more difficult to apply evenly and consistently. It is critical that the
material be applied at the specified thicknessnormally about 1 mil. A
polyurethane application can look great when it is completed, but once a year
or two has passed, any areas where the clear coat is too thick can yellow, and
undercoats that are too thin can begin to very noticeably fade.
Resistance to Abrasion
In reality, the sources of abrasion on a water tank surface are limited: van-
dals throwing rocks or shooting at tanks, or, possibly, ice and snow build-up
in cold weather. When vandals throw rocks and chip the coating, spot rust-
ing may result. Our companys experience shows that all of the finish coatings
are going to react similarly. If a tank has been damaged previously by van-
dalism, consider using a zinc prime coat in which the zinc may help reduce the
rusting caused by a breach in the finish coat. The best strategy to reduce abra-
sion from ice and snow is to make sure the material is applied with a smooth
finish so the ice and snow will slide off, with no lifted edges where moisture
can get in and lift the coating.

underlying coating and will be difficult to remove. Ultra-high-performance coatings may reduce the
damage from graffiti because they provide a smoother finish, have lower surface energy, and are
more solvent resistant, thus giving the graffiti less bite into the surface. With high-performance
polyurethanes and ultra-high-performance fluorourethanes and polysiloxanes, graffiti can be re-
moved, but it takes a lot of elbow grease using the appropriate thinner. Removing graffiti can re-
move part of the finish coat, and often residual graffiti is visible. The only way to remove graffiti
from acrylics and alkyds is to apply coating over the graffiti, but matching the color of the original
coating is often difficult.
9
Resistance to Chalking
Chalking is a white powdery substance that forms on the surface of a coating as it is degraded by UV
radiation and as the coating pigments and binders break down. Chalking is usually an aesthetic con-
sideration, except in extreme situations in which the thickness of the coating decreases and reduces
the coatings protective properties. Alkyds and polyurethane coatings seem to be most apt to chalk.
Ease of Topcoating
Coatings that have good resistance to graffiti (having a very hard or smooth surface) are typically not
easy to topcoat for the same reasons. Although water tank applications of fluorourethanes and silox-
anes have a short history, given their short recoat windows, abrading is normally required before top-
coating or touch-up; polyurethanes with clear coats also require abrading prior to topcoating or
touch-up.
Polyurethanes, acrylics, and alkyds typically have an extended recoat window. By the time they
are ready for topcoating, the surface has degraded and chalked sufficiently that a good power wash,
using a detergent and usually some scrubbing, is required to prepare the surface. By nature, chalk-
ing normally causes the surface to become abraded. To provide good adhesion for the topcoating, it
is important to remove chalk, dirt, and debris.
Dry Fallout
Coatings that dry or cure quickly and fall to the ground in a relatively dry condition have good dry
fallout characteristics. Because most water tank abrasive blasting projects are done inside contain-
ment due to lead paint or nuisance dust restrictions, dry fall coatings are not as critical as they once
werethe tarps or containment can easily be left in place during coating application. In addition,
more and more exterior tank painting projects are using brush and roller application instead of spray
application. Application by brush and roller will reduce the amount of overspray because the coat-
ing droplets will be larger and not travel as far.
Polyurethane, fluorourethane, and polysiloxane coatings do not have good dry fall characteris-
tics. In addition, some of the dry fall acrylics cannot be applied by brush and roller and achieve good
results.
Corrosion Resistance
Corrosion resistance can be documented by many testing procedures that compare different coat-
ing types under similar conditions. Because lead-based primers are no longer available, many coat-
ings, such as alkyds, silicone alkyds, and acrylics, will not have the same corrosion resistance as
previously manufactured coatings of the same generic type that contain lead or chromates.
10
Life Expectancy
Is interior coating failure defined as when the first rust spot appears or when a certain percent-
age of rust is visible? The service life of an interior coating is defined in this article as the typical
expected number of years before repainting becomes necessary due to excessive coating failure and
corrosion. The owner can extend the service life of the interior coating by installing and properly
maintaining and operating a cathodic protection system to help protect the interior submerged
steel surfaces that have experienced coating failure. Cathodic protection is not commonly used
with zinc/aluminum spray-applied coatings.
Epoxy or zinc-epoxy interior coatings are expected to last 1525 years. Polyurethanes and met-
alized coatings have a significantly longer service life.
Ease of Application
Epoxy and zinc-epoxy coating systems are relatively easy to apply and have a relatively short ma-
terial pot life. The higher performance interior coatings, such as polyurethanes and polyureas, are
one-application, multi-pass systems. These materials have a very short
recoat window, and, once applied and set, require significant additional
surface preparation for topcoating and touch-up. They are more difficult
than the standard epoxy systems to apply because they require special
plural-component spray guns, heaters, and other equipment, as well as a
deep anchor pattern. Specialized training and certification is also required
for the applicator, and training is recommended for the equipment oper-
ator. For the coating to perform well, the operator must make sure the
coating temperature is correct and the material is on ratio.
A metalized coating system is also more difficult to apply because
special contractors and equipment are needed to apply them, and a higher
degree of surface preparation is required.
One advantage to metalizing, however, is that it can be applied in the
colder winter months if proper dehumidification equipment is used. The
Equipment used in the application of metalized coating SSPC-CS 23.00/AWS C2.23/NACE No. 12 joint standard is an excellent
guide to use for specifying and evaluating metalizing systems.
Resistance to Abrasion
Applied correctly, polyurethane coatings for tank interiors are very resistant to ice damage, which
is the only abrasion to which they are really subjected. Metalized coatings also have excellent
resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
11
Ease of Topcoating
It is not normally cost effective to topcoat standard epoxy interior tank coatings. However, when
ultra-high-performance coatings are applied correctly, they may be very difficult to remove, and top-
coating may therefore be an option. With the long expected service life of ultra-high-performance
systems, the need to topcoat has not come up yet. Based on experience so far, it is expected that spot
repair will extend the life of these coatings in water tank service. However, the surface will need to
be well abraded before any spot touch-up.
Corrosion Resistance
Metalizing and a zinc primer under an epoxy or polyurethane topcoat are the only tank interior coat-
ing systems that offer corrosion resistance. Epoxy and polyurethane coatings offer a barrier, and
polyurethanes have especially good resistance to coating undercut, should a coating break occur.
(Undercut occurs where corrosion works its way under a coating and enables a coating failure spot
to develop.) A metalized system has excellent resistance to corrosion.
Cost of Materials
Metalizing is very expensive but has one of the longest life expectancies of any of the coatings dis-
cussed. A sealer or finish coat is often recommended.
Conclusion
It is important to take into consideration many criteria when designing a coating system for each
tank coating specification. Items to consider include the following.
In what environment is the tank located?
What are the constraints of the tank site?
What is the design of this tank?
What is the present condition of the coating?
What are the types of coating failures observed on this tank, why did they occur, and what can be
done to correct them?
Where are the existing corrosion problems on this tank?
What time of year and for how long can the tank be taken out of service for painting?
What are the owners short and long-termplans for this tank?
What is the right coating system for your water storage tank? Now, more than ever, tank owners
and operators need expert, unbiased, third-party input to make this complex decision.
