Its low-permeability epoxy film resists oils, greases and solvents, holds out water and moisture once cured, and has superior abrasion and impact resistance. Because it is surface dry in about 4 minutes and fully cured in 24 hours, a plant can prime and build the film during a short shutdown. Prepare the steel properly, apply two to three coats at least 6 hours apart, and check with Turbolux technical support before using it on tank interiors, in continuous immersion or on hot surfaces.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tlx-toc\"><div class=\"tlx-toc__label\">In this guide<\/div><div class=\"tlx-toc__grid\"><a href=\"#s1\">Why do machinery, tanks and pipelines corrode?<\/a><a href=\"#s2\">Where can Prestige be used on equipment?<\/a><a href=\"#s3\">Where should you check before using Prestige?<\/a><a href=\"#s4\">How do you prime equipment during a shutdown?<\/a><a href=\"#s5\">How often should industrial equipment be inspected?<\/a><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"s1\" class=\"tlx-h2\">Why do machinery, tanks and pipelines corrode?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spills and splashes.<\/strong> Oil, coolant, grease and process chemicals soften weak coatings and strip them away.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Condensation.<\/strong> Cold pipes and tanks sweat in humid air, so their surfaces stay wet for long periods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wash-down.<\/strong> Regular cleaning with water and detergents attacks low-quality paint.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Impact and abrasion.<\/strong> Tools, trolleys, forklifts and maintenance work chip coatings and expose bare steel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hidden corners.<\/strong> Flanges, bolts, supports, saddles and the undersides of pipes trap water and are rarely inspected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"s2\" class=\"tlx-h2\">Where can Prestige be used on equipment?<\/h2>\n<p>Prestige&#8217;s technical data lists structural steel, storage tanks, pipelines, machinery, warehouses, chemical plants and industrial floors as application areas, for interior and exterior use.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tlx-tablewrap\"><table class=\"tlx-table\"><thead><tr><th>Equipment<\/th><th>Typical use<\/th><th>Why Prestige fits<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr><td>Machinery frames, bases and guards<\/td><td>External steel surfaces<\/td><td>Holds out oil and grease, resists knocks and abrasion<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Storage tanks<\/td><td>External shells, roofs, stands and ladders<\/td><td>Low-permeability film keeps moisture away from the steel<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Pipelines and pipe racks<\/td><td>External pipe surfaces, supports and racks<\/td><td>Corrosion guard for humid and coastal plants<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Pump and motor bases<\/td><td>Steel base plates and skids<\/td><td>Stands up to spills and wash-down<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Chemical plant steelwork<\/td><td>Platforms, handrails, supports<\/td><td>High resistance to oils, greases and solvents<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Concrete plinths and bunds<\/td><td>Equipment foundations and floors<\/td><td>Bonds to concrete as well as steel<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tlx-picks\"><div class=\"tlx-pcard pop\"><span class=\"tlx-pcard__ribbon\">Plant &amp; equipment<\/span><div class=\"tlx-pcard__img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.turboluxpaints.com\/assets\/media\/product\/card\/prestige.webp\" alt=\"Turbolux Prestige Epoxy Primer for machinery, tanks and pipelines\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div><div class=\"tlx-pcard__body\"><div class=\"tlx-pcard__eyebrow\">1-Pack Epoxy Primer<\/div><div class=\"tlx-pcard__name\">Prestige<\/div><p class=\"tlx-pcard__desc\">Built for structural steel, storage tanks, pipelines, machinery and chemical plants.
