The threat
Process plants assess occupied buildings for explosion, fire and toxic hazards under guidance such as API RP 752 for permanent buildings19. When an existing control room, lab or shop falls short, owners look for ways to reduce debris hazard without rebuilding.
How polyurea helps
Elastomeric retrofits reduce fragmentation of masonry and concrete under blast3, and polyurea brings chemical resistance and secondary-containment capability the same crews can sell across the plant16.
Where it goes
- Control rooms and occupied buildings
- Lab and maintenance buildings
- Tank exteriors and secondary containment
- Pipe supports and racks
- Blast-resistant module refurbishment
Details that matter
- Hot-work permits, gas monitoring and turnaround windows drive the schedule.
- Ask for the facility siting study. It tells you which buildings need help and what loads they see.
- One plant relationship can mean years of containment, lining and coating work.
Who buys the work
Refinery and chemical plant owners, EPCs, turnaround contractors and blast-resistant building manufacturers.
These are the customers an ArmorThane blast mitigation applicator sells to. See the business path.
Blast protection is an engineered system. Coatings complement standoff, glazing and structural design, and the engineer of record sets the design.
