Water Storage Paint & Coatings Solutions by Cloverdale Paint

Cloverdale Paint offers a complete line of protective coatings and linings for water storage applications. From municipal potable water tanks to industrial fire protection and process water systems, our coatings are engineered to deliver long-lasting protection against corrosion, chemical exposure, and environmental degradation.

High-Performance Coatings for Water Storage Infrastructure

Water storage tanks face constant exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and, in some cases, chemical treatment agents. Cloverdale Paint's coating systems are formulated to meet strict performance standards while supporting regulatory compliance, including NSF/ANSI certification for potable water use.

Coatings Offered

  • NSF-Certified Epoxy Linings: Suitable for potable water tanks, providing excellent barrier protection and long-term water immersion resistance.
  • High-Build Epoxies: Used in both interior and exterior applications for steel and concrete tanks, offering chemical and abrasion resistance.
  • Zinc-Rich Primers: Offer cathodic protection for steel tank exteriors exposed to atmospheric moisture.
  • Polyurethane Topcoats: Provide enhanced UV and weather resistance for above-ground storage tanks.
  • Elastomeric Waterproof Coatings: Ideal for concrete tanks and reservoirs, sealing against water intrusion and environmental stress.

Benefits of Using Cloverdale Paint for Water Storage Applications

  • Corrosion Protection: Prevent rust and deterioration in both steel and concrete tanks, extending service life.
  • Potable Water Safety: NSF/ANSI 61-certified coatings for use in drinking water systems.
  • Improved Aesthetics and Visibility: Colour-coded tank exteriors and well-maintained coatings improve site safety and municipal branding.
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: Durable coating systems reduce the frequency and cost of recoating or repairs.
  • Local Manufacturing and Support: Cloverdale Paint offers reliable supply, fast turnaround, and responsive field support throughout Canada.

Common Water Storage Assets Coated

Potable Water Tanks

  • Elevated water towers
  • Ground storage reservoirs
  • Aeration and equalization basins
  • Steel welded tanks
  • Concrete cisterns and reservoirs
  • These tanks require interior linings that meet NSF/ANSI 61 certification for human health and safety. Our epoxy lining systems are safe for drinking water and provide strong chemical resistance.

Fire Suppression and Industrial Water Tanks

  • Fire protection storage tanks
  • Process water holding tanks
  • Recycled water storage
  • Moisture-tolerant and chemical-resistant coatings help prevent leakage and structural damage, maintaining compliance and safety.

Secondary Containment and Vaults

  • Concrete sumps and spill basins
  • Vaulted storage structures
  • Elastomeric and epoxy coatings protect concrete from cracking, spalling, and chemical infiltration.

Tank Exteriors and Roofs

  • Atmospheric steel tank exteriors
  • Bolted tank joints
  • Protective roofs and domes
  • UV-resistant polyurethane topcoats and zinc-rich primers are used to preserve the integrity of external surfaces, especially in harsh Canadian climates.
