CCSI - Membranes

In 1935, HERESITE founder, Charles Hempel, recognized a critical need: to supply many industries with coating and lining systems that were tailored to unique requirements.

A pioneer of this industry, he knew he would need a concept of customer service and technical assistance to support his products. That "total service" concept still exists today. HERESITE continues to combine a superior product line, individualized customer service and technical assistance. The mission is to satisfy each customer's specialized, long term needs for industrial coating and lining systems.

Over the years Heresite has maintained a reputation for quality and service. Time and again they have been called upon to solve tough corrosion problems. Chemical Containment, working closely with HERESITE’s technical team, can suggest a high-performance coating system to meet your requirements.

Tank Trailer Linings
Heresite has been installing linings in tank trailers and rail cars for over 50 years. In fact, we were one of the first companies to do so when we installed high bake phenolics for use in sulfuric acid tanks in the mid 1940s. Heresite has continued to be a leader in tank linings for all those years for one reason, our customers have saved countless dollars in maintenance and replacement costs.

Over the years Heresite has developed other high temperature resistant linings that will resist the corrosive effects of most commodities. these linings include phenolics, epoxy phenolics, and epoxies. They will greatly extend the service life of your tank trailer and protect the purity of the product you are hauling.

Working closely with Chemical Containment the expert know how to help other applicators achieve a quality Heresite lining.

If you are hauling corrosive products such as acids, strong alkalis, or waste products and running carbon steel, stainless or aluminum tank trailers, a Heresite lining will protect your investment.

Air Handling
HERESITE baking phenolic and airdrying phenolic coatings have been used for many years to protect FANS, BLOWERS, FUME HOODS, DAMPERS, GRILLS, DUCT WORK, etc. from corrosion.

HERESITE baking phenolic coatings are used for severely corrosive environments or where operating temperatures exceed 150°F. also, they are used to provide protection against abrasion.

The HERESITE baking phenolic coating will withstand operating temperatures up to 400°F. However, this does vary depending upon the products in the environment. Wheel balance normally is not disturbed because the coating is applied in thin, uniform, multiple coats.

An intact HERESITE baked phenolic coating is considered as being spark resistant and as such is suitable for exposure to explosive gases and dusts. Also, the HERESITE baked phenolic coatings do not support combustion. Excessive temperature will char the HERESITE coating, but the coating will not burn. HERESITE baked phenolic coatings will withstand exposure to practically all corrosive atmospheres with the exception of strong alkalies such as potassium and sodium hydroxide, strong oxidizers such as aqua regia and wet bromine, chlorine and fluorine in concentrations greater than 100 ppm. Because the resistance of HERESITE is dependent upon conditions of service, environment, fabrication details plus other factors, HERESITE PROTECTIVE COATINGS should be consulted always for specific recommendations.

Coils
The first HERESITE coating application to the exterior surfaces of finned tube coils took place in the early 1950s. Since that time the HERESITE baking phenolic coating has effectively demonstrated its value in protecting heat transfer coils from corrosive attack, and appreciably increasing equipment service life. The excellent chemical and temperature resistance coupled with the good heat transfer properties of the HERESITE coating have resulted in outstanding performance. HERESITE is the registered trademark for our pure phenolic thermosetting resinous coatings.

ADVANTAGES - Practically all types of finned tube coils used for oil, water, air, gas and process cooling (and heating), as well as large condensing coils can be HERESITE protected against damaging environments. The HERESITE coating of air-conditioning and industrial process coils exposed to corrosive fumes and salt atmosphere is on the increase, with many new applications being found. HERESITE coating offers an economical alternative to the use of special metals for corrosive environments. For example, we understand that aluminum fin coils coated with HERESITE are more economical than copper fin coils. Special metal casing materials are unnecessary since the HERESITE coating is applied to the casing, as well as to the finned tubes. Additionally, HERESITE coated aluminum fins will resist attack from most cleaning agents more successfully than copper fin coils. It is noted that the HERESITE coating is applied to both plate fin coils, as well as spiral wound tubing.

QUALITY - Not many coil coating companies can say they control the quality of the coating process from beginning to end. HERESITE starts by manufacturing the coating itself using raw materials and a time tested formula. This quality is continued right through the process which includes, cleaning the coil, phosphate bath, multiple coil submersions, bake between each coat and a final cure of 400°F.
