Denso Introduces A New Tank Base Protection System

A protective tape system for external tank bases to help in corrosion prevention.

Denso has announced the release of their "Tank Base Protection System". Storage tanks have a major problem with corrosion that occurs around the tank base. Due to gaps between the bottom plate and concrete plinth, water and air can penetrate and start corroding this area of the tank which can lead to the tank being shutdown for repair, or worse, replacement. Denso's new Tank Base Protection System provides a cost effective and commercially proven repair solution for outer tank bases and chimes. Employing a series of tapes and coatings, Denso's protection system will help seal these gaps to protect the tank base from further corrosion and shields it from environmentally corrosive agents. The protection system is easily hand applied to tank bases, utilizing Denso's product lines of primers, mastics, tapes and topcoats. To read about how this system is currently protecting tank bases, visit our Denso Digest page online and download Volume 28 No. 4.
