SUR/FIN 2016 in Las Vegas is a wrap. Naturally, we were proud to be on display showing off our drop in tank liners and in particular our Koroseal® PVC liners with an LFP CrossFilm™ skirt for added service life in hard chrome plating.
SUR/FIN 2016 in Las Vegas is a wrap. Naturally, we were proud to be on display showing off our drop in tank liners and in particular our Koroseal® PVC liners with an LFP CrossFilm™ skirt for added service life in hard chrome plating.
Previous blog posts have spoken about how LFP CrossFilm™ skirts can increase the service life of a PVC tank liner in hard chrome service, especially when coupled with Koroseal® PVC liners.
So what is the true cost of your tank liner? Sure there is the initial cost of the liner itself but what about the cost of your liner over its service life?
Hard chrome plating solutions are notorious for breaking down tank liners at the area where solution and oxygen interact. This is because as the solution evaporates the fumes condensate back on the liner. That condensate is now at a concentration of chrome beyond which PVC can handle. This causes the liner to break down at this area while the rest of the liner that is under solution still has years of service life left.
Occasionally we get calls of concern from customers that notice that there is plating solution between their CrossFilm™ skirt and the main body of their tank liner. This is a phenomenon that happens on occasion due to the mechanism of how the skirts are attached to the tank liner.
