Tank & Containment Lining – Polyfusion for Tanks & Containment. Impermeable. Chemical-Resistant. Built to Last.
Tanks, bunds and containment structures are your last line of defence against chemical spills, contamination and environmental liability. A failed lining means product loss, environmental damage, regulatory consequences and costly remediation. Polyfusion by IBIX Industrial provides a fusion-bonded thermoplastic lining that is seamless, anti-osmotic and chemically resistant — applied on-site to concrete, steel and fibreglass substrates.
Available exclusively in Australia through Remcon Group.
Why Tank Lining Matters
Tank and containment failures share a common cause — the lining eventually allows moisture or chemicals to reach the substrate. Paint systems blister and peel. Epoxies crack under thermal cycling. Sheet linings develop seam failures. Polyfusion eliminates these failure modes with a monolithic, fusion-bonded membrane that has no joints, no seams and no weak points.
Key Performance Properties for Tank Lining
Applications — Tank & Containment Lining
Chemical Containment Bunds Secondary containment bunds for hazardous chemical storage — acids, caustics, fuels, solvents. Polyfusion provides a proven, impermeble lining that complies with environmental protection requirements.
Industrial Water & Process Tanks Concrete and steel tanks for water storage, process water and industrial liquid storage. Polyfusion lines new tanks and restores existing linings that have failed.
Fuel & Oil Storage Above-ground steel fuel storage tanks and associated bunds. Polyfusion resists hydrocarbon products and provides corrosion protection to the tank substrate simultaneously.
Wastewater Treatment Structures Concrete and steel structures in wastewater treatment plants — aeration tanks, clarifiers, digesters and wet wells — subject to constant moisture, biological activity and chemical dosing.
Food & Beverage Tanks Fermentation tanks, storage vessels and process tanks in wineries, breweries and food processing facilities. Polyfusion is approved for contact with alcohol and wine.
Stormwater & Detention Basins Concrete stormwater basins, gross pollutant traps and detention structures requiring waterproofing and long-term surface protection.
Mining Process Tanks & Ponds Concrete and steel tanks, sumps and process ponds in mining and mineral processing environments subject to extreme chemical and abrasive conditions.
Application Process — Tank Lining
Step 01 — Tank Inspection & Scope Remcon conducts a full inspection of the tank or containment structure — assessing substrate condition, existing lining failure, chemical service requirements and access constraints.
Step 02 — Dewatering & Cleaning The tank is emptied, cleaned and all product residues removed. Contamination must be fully eliminated prior to surface preparation.
Step 03 — Surface Preparation Concrete is repaired and prepared. Steel is blast-cleaned to the required profile. Fibreglass surfaces are sanded and cleaned. All substrate preparation is completed before any coating is applied.
Step 04 — Primer The appropriate Polyres N primer is applied and brought to the correct tacky state for thermoplastic bonding.
Step 05 — Polyfusion Application The IBIX Hercules portable flame spray system applies Polyfusion to all internal surfaces — floor, walls, corners and any complex geometry. The portable system is ideal for confined space tank applications.
Step 06 — Quality Assurance & Return to Service Coating thickness, adhesion and continuity checks are completed. The tank is returned to service.
Common Questions — Tank & Containment Lining
Q: Can Polyfusion be applied inside confined space tanks? Yes. The portable IBIX Hercules flame spray system is suited to confined space applications. Remcon operates with full confined space entry procedures and safety management.
Q: What chemicals is Polyfusion resistant to? Polyfusion resists a broad range of aggressive acids, alkalis, solvents, fuels, detergents and industrial process liquids. Contact Remcon with your specific chemical service requirements for a compatibility assessment.
Q: How does Polyfusion compare to fibreglass sheet lining? Fibreglass sheet lining has seams — and seams fail. Polyfusion is applied as a continuous, seamless membrane with no joints, no adhesive bonds and no mechanical fixings. It is also faster and less costly to apply.
Q: Can Polyfusion be applied to tanks that are already in service? Tanks need to be taken out of service, emptied and cleaned before relining. Polyfusion’s fast cure means downtime is kept to a minimum.
Q: Is Polyfusion suitable for potable water tanks? Contact Remcon Group to discuss your potable water application and we will confirm the appropriate specification.
