Tank & Pipe Lining Coatings

Tank coatings are used to line the internal and external surfaces of tanks storing varying materials - anything from drinking water to aviation fuel, and high acidic to alkaline chemical concentrations. Our online range offers the very best in storage vessel coating and tank lining solutions, providing the ultimate protection for tanks made from concrete, metal, plastics and more. We offer a wide range of products from many world leading manufacturers including Jotun, International, Sherwin-Williams and Sika.

Due to the specialist and bespoke nature of many of these products, we can offer a coating for almost any project and environment, covering application methods by brush, roller and spray, to a range of colours and film thicknesses to meet specification requirements. Most importantly our coatings and tank paints have been through rigorous testing to ensure they meet the most stringent requirements, so if your project requires certification to a particular standard whether it be British, American, German or otherwise, we’ll have a system to comply.

International Protective Coatings - Interline

Key products from International Paints’ protective coatings range, Interline, are available to buy today at Rawlins Paints, to deliver improved chemical and abrasion resistance to large chemical storage structures.

From Interline 955’s two component, heavy duty vinyl ester coating, which can be applied with standard airless spray equipment, to Interline 850, a high-build epoxy phenolic tank and pipe lining coating used to protect the internals of steel storage tanks and pipes, these specialist coatings can be found on many of the country’s leading processing plants.

International Interline 925 provides chemical resistance to a range of corrosive products, including crude oil, white oils and potable water. It is suitable for application over concrete for lining and secondary containment purposes.

International Interline 984 also delivers exceptional anti-corrosive protection to crude and refined petrochemicals, as well as biofuels. It is the ideal choice for use in storage tanks in downstream refineries and terminals, along with protecting ferrous and non-ferrous substrates.
