OIL AND GAS
BERM COATINGS

From the perspective of your average consumer, the oil and gas industry is a black box. It’s unknown to most people how they can so reliably turn up to their local gas station to fuel their car, or how it’s possible they never need to worry about whether or not there’s energy to heat their home. The widespread availability of fossil fuels is thanks to one of the world’s most sophisticated and consequential markets, whose successful operations don’t just impact a single company’s profits and losses, but the entire global economy and supply chain. But with climate concerns on the rise, the oil and gas industry is facing stricter regulations than ever before, aligning with shifting priorities on safer and healthier industrial practices. To this end secondary containment is a primary resource, used as the first line of defense against spills and leaks that could otherwise lead to exorbitant fines, and worse, potentially irreparable damage to the local communities and ecosystems. Taking many forms, one of the most widely employed forms of secondary containment in the oil and gas industry is the berm. Traditionally built of concrete walls or earthen dikes, these types of secondary systems are now somewhat antiquated, and the modern oil and gas industry requires more robust and cost-effective secondary containment technology to address its evolving needs. That’s why ArmorThane has developed leading polyurea and polyurethane formulations designed to create or support secondary containment systems for petroleum products and other types of hazardous materials. With our protective coatings you can safeguard your oil and gas berms and rely on powerful secondary containment systems built with technology as innovative as the industry they serve.
