Tank Lining and Coating

Tank lining and coating options for every project.

Immersion and secondary containment linings and coatings for corrosion resistance.

Steel tank and secondary containment linings and coatings for corrosion resistance.

Selecting the appropriate concrete containment &  tank coatings and linings for the given application is crucial to enhance its life expectancy. Using our 30+ years of experience in the corrosion resistance industry, Wagner Enterprise will specify the correct tank or containment lining system to be used for your project. We will also provide you with options for good, better, and best alternative products in regards to cost saving.

The installation of these materials is equally as important. We provide three competitive installers with at least five years of proven experience in any location throughout the world.

Ceilcote is a worldwide producer of lining and coating materials. Wagner Enterprise has been a Ceilcote representative and distributor since the company was first established in 1982.

Why Tank Coatings and Linings Matter

Steel and concrete tanks face constant exposure to chemicals, moisture, abrasion, and temperature changes. Without proper protection, surfaces can break down quickly, leading to leaks, contamination, and expensive repairs. Tank coatings and linings serve as a barrier between the structure and its contents, extending service life and helping facilities maintain EPA standards.

These systems are used across industries, including chemical processing, wastewater treatment, food and beverage, and power generation. Selecting the right combination of coating and applicator is key to performance.

Our Tank Lining Services

Wagner Enterprise, Inc. and our applicators offer full-service concrete containment & tank lining services—from technical evaluation to product selection and installation coordination. Each project begins with a review of the concrete or tank’s exposure conditions, temperature range, and substrate condition.. Based on this, multiple product options are presented with a good-better-best recommendation approach. We coordinate both domestic and international projects, helping clients maintain coating consistency across locations.

Coating and Lining Systems Offered

Vinyl Ester Systems
tank lining options from wagner enterprise These high-performance linings are suited for immersion conditions involving acids, high temperatures, and abrasion. Available in both thin-mil and high-build spray-applied formats, vinyl ester systems can be applied between 6 and 40 mils thick. Low surface energy (LSE) and abrasion-resistant options are available for more demanding service.
Epoxy Systems
Epoxy linings are known for their bond strength, even on surfaces with minimal preparation. Formulations include novolac epoxy for sulfuric acid service (up to 98%), as well as LSE versions for ease of cleaning. Epoxies are also used as base coats under other finishes like urethane.
Urethane Systems
Urethanes are often used as exterior coatings, providing UV resistance and long-term color retention. They are typically applied as a top layer over an epoxy primer and help tanks withstand outdoor exposure without fading or chalking.
Glass Mat Reinforced Linings
For secondary containment and high-strength immersion applications, Wagner provides glass-reinforced systems. These feature a trowel-applied base layer followed by resin-saturated glass mat, and a resin rich top coat creating a flexible yet durable lining with crack-bridging capabilities.
Grout Systems
Epoxy and polyester grouts are used for setting tank bases and anchoring heavy equipment. These materials resist vibration, compression, shear, and chemical exposure, maintaining their structural integrity under dynamic loads.
