Weatherskin Coatings WSM3 Tank and Vessel

Weatherskin Coatings WSM3 Tank and Vessel is an easy-to-use, liquid-applied, waterproof material specially designed to protect sprayed-in polyurethane foam coated structures from physical degradation from weathering and UV radiation. At an ideal dry film 12 to 14 mils per coat, WS M3 is a perfect fix for sealing any minor cracks and imperfections. With exceptional aging properties, future ruptures, cracks and delaminating are prevented, increasing durability and providing long-lasting protection for any polyurethane foam insulated structures. Its unique molecular structure allows for substrate movement, accommodation to sudden temperature fluctuation and is able to perfectly utilize its tensile strength and elongation abilities. With the application by experienced, independent, certified applicators, WS M3 Tank and Vessel Membrane provides successful coverage on oil tanks.

Uses

WS M3 Tank and Vessel Membrane becomes an integral piece of a substrate as it protects urethane foam insulation:

  • Of oil tanks and other structures from deterioration by UV radiation, leakage or moisture intrusion and deterioration caused by ingress of water, acid rain and pollutants.
  • By reducing maintenance costs associated with unprotected urethane foam insulation.
  • By prolonging the life of the insulation.
  • By preventing scaling and spalling.
