Paint maintenance for your cryogenic storage tanks might not seem high priority, but it should be. Transporting cryogenic tanks around the world can cause massive buildup of dust, dirt, and rust, which can all lead to a shortened lifespan of your equipment and even become a critical safety hazard. With some cleaning and a fresh coat of paint, your equipment can last longer and bring greater value to your business. Here are a few reasons why you should keep paint maintenance top-of-mind.

Extend the Life of Your Cryogenic Storage Tanks

When it comes to maintaining cryogenic storage tanks, painting your units can help prolong the life of your tanks. Typically, a well maintained tank can last a great deal longer than those that aren’t. It’s crazy to think that something as simple as a fresh coat of paint can boost the lifespan of your equipment, but it helps immensely.

Protection Against Corrosion

The exterior finish of cryogenic tanks can protect the units against corrosion. To prevent this from happening, a fresh coat of paint every 10-15 years does the trick.

Paint Maintenance Saves You Money

Maintenance can also save you money because it can prevent costly repairs and bring in more value in the long-term. By using preventative paint maintenance and keeping corrosion to a minimal, your tanks can last longer, make you more money, and keep those around it safe.

Apart from painting, you must also inspect your tanks regularly to detect problems before they get worse. By conducting routine inspections with professionals, you can ensure the safety of your cryogenic tanks. Sufficient knowledge about the proper storage of hazardous materials, like cryogenic liquids, is vital for industrial transporters and facilities.
