When the City of Troy, Alabama, decided to use the local university’s Trojan mascot on its 1.5 million gallon hydropillar water tank in 1998, engineers wanted a coating system that would last. Now, after more than 20 years in the field, their water tank remains a bright spot in the Alabama town, showcasing nearly all the color and gloss it had since the day it was coated.

The tank originally received a spot coat of Series 66 Hi-Build Epoxoline, followed by a full coat of Series 66. Series 73 Endura-Shield, an aliphatic acrylic urethane, was applied as the topcoat. Local Tnemec representatives visited the tank in 2020, and to their delight, the Series 73 finish continue to outperform its original expectation.

For a little help choosing coatings for your next project, reach out to your local Tnemec representative. They'll make sure that your project's coating system is built to last, too.
