Yes. Viscotaq can be installed on both new and existing tanks. The system requires minimal surface preparation and no hot work, making it ideal for protecting in-service tanks without downtime.
Unlike mastics or coatings that can dry out, crack, or fail over time, Viscotaq remains permanently flexible. Its visco-elastic properties allow it to self-heal, conform to irregular surfaces, and move with the tank during filling and emptying cycles.
Many facility owners follow API-653 and industry best practices, which emphasize preventing water ingress, ensuring visible weld joints for inspection, and using proven corrosion prevention systems.
No. Modern systems, like visco-elastic wraps, can be applied quickly without blasting, hot work, or lengthy curing, reducing downtime and safety risks.
Yes. After proper surface preparation, sealing systems can be applied to both new and in-service tanks, providing long-term protection even if some corrosion has already occurred.
