SECONDARY CONTAINMENT OPPORTUNITIES

How and Why to Pursue Secondary Containment Opportunities with ArmorThane

NEW OPPORTUNITIES, SAME POWERFUL TECHNOLOGY

Hazardous substances are everywhere and play a more important role in the world today than ever before. They’re used in at-home cleaning agents, industrial chemicals, energy storage solutions, and in just about every other tool or technology. For better or for worse these substances are fundamental to creating the luxuries and conveniences of modern life. However, as they say: with great power comes great responsibility. So to continue using ever larger quantities and varieties of hazardous substances meticulous containment efforts must be employed to minimize the risk of an accident and contain dangerous materials in the event of the worst case scenario. To this end secondary containment plays a central role, where it serves as the first line of defense in the event of primary containment failure and is now nearly ubiquitous across commercial and industrial environments. This ubiquity means there are exciting opportunities to start a new career in secondary containment applications, where ArmorThane and our high-performance polyurea coatings can lead the way to financial freedom, a better work-life balance, and a fulfilling career based on protecting people and the environment.

POLYUREA: THE ULTIMATE SECONDARY CONTAINMENT SOLUTION

Polyurea spray elastomer technology is a premier coatings system that was developed out of a need for a more moisture-resistant alternative to its predecessor, polyurethane. And like polyurethane, polyurea is both strong and flexible but does indeed exhibit improved moisture resistance along with greater strength, durability, and chemical resistance as well. These properties have seen polyurea used extensively across private, commercial, and industrial applications, from truck bedliners to radar absorbing coatings , quickly rising to prominence as one of the most versatile materials offered by the paints and coatings sector. But strength and resistance aside, polyurea is perhaps best known for its rapid curing times. In as little as a few minutes after reacting on the surface of a substrate, polyurea will begin to cure for a faster return to service than with almost any other material technology of its kind. Better still, polyurea is safer and more sustainable than alternative coatings like epoxy thanks to its 100% solid composition and inclusion of no solvents or volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). For secondary containment polyurea has proven to be a powerful solution for upgrading existing secondary containment strategies or designing new ones from scratch. In other words, polyurea is the ultimate secondary containment solution!

More often than not secondary containment isn’t just a recommendation, it’s a requirement. The risk of storing large quantities of highly hazardous substances is too high to rely on their primary containers alone. Secondary containment is a critical redundancy necessary to reduce the risk of catastrophe in the event of an accident. 

All commercial and industrial environments storing hazardous substances like strong acids or organic solvents must use secondary containment systems. Whether it be for toxic wastewater or flammable reagents, secondary containment is essential for the safe and effective management of hazardous materials whether they be corrosive, flammable, or otherwise.
