HIGH-PERFORMANCE PROTECTION

In this context, a lining is a thin resin-based barrier applied to the internal surface of a structure (e.g. a bund or a water tank). On the other hand, a coating is the resin barrier that would be applied to the outside of a structure (e.g. a flat roof or a waterproofing system)

There are several advantages over  – typically EPDM or PVC linings, in that they are tear resistant, abrasion resistant and desired qualities can be built into every system. In comparison to paint, resins offer more durability and chemical resistance. They can also be combined with fibrous or aggregate backing, creating composite structures with enhanced structural performance.

Most systems are designed (and proven) to last several decades. Ultimately, the lifetime of any system will depend heavily on the quality of installation – which is why Strandek has focussed heavily on high-quality ingredients, careful preparation and trained applicators.

In terms of surfaces, resins can be effectively applied to concrete, wood, mortar, metals, GRP and other. Primers enhance resin bonding. More importantly, resins can be applied  to seal gaps, junctions and other leak-prone barriers.

Varies between several hours and several days – or in some cases weeks. It also depends on the level of surface preparation, the number of applicators and system type.

We offer full inspection, survey and site visits in addition to comprehensive reports. We also offer repairs to existing coatings, as well as technical support in the selection of new ones.
