Coal Tar Epoxy is a heavy duty, high build protective coating which has high strength, is resistant to most corrosive reagents, and is excellent at sealing out moisture. It is widely used in industrial and marine environments. It is primarily applied to steel to protect it from rust and corrosion. It is often seen on steel vessel hulls, underground water and oil tanks and pipelines, offshore oil rigs, and dam gates. Our Coal Tar Epoxy underground tornado shelter is made of 10 gauge sheet metal. All welds are leak-tested to guarantee they won’t allow ground water to seep into the shelter. After the shelter is fabricated, we apply a thick coating of Coal Tar Epoxy into the outside of the shelter. The Coal Tar Epoxy bonds to the steel and serves to protect the exterior of the steel shelter from corrosion and rust. The interior of the storm shield is painted with red oxide primer paint to protect the steel on the inside from rust and corrosion.
