Hot Alkali-Resistant Coating
I am a commercial painting contractor and have a customer who is installing a stainless steel tank that will contain a hot alkali solution. The process will be run at about 98ºC. I am looking for a coating to stand up to a hot caustic solution at a 50 percent concentration.
