Art's-Way Manufacturing Introduces Thermoplastic Polyethylene-Based Rotolining For Interior Lining Of Tanks And Vessels

Armstrong, IA - Art's-Way Manufacturing, Inc., announces its wholly owned subsidiary, Art's Way Vessels, Inc., is now offering superior interior tank lining capabilities that will give customers the options of using a lower cost carbon steel tank in many food products applications, instead of a high priced stainless steel tank. The lining materials meets ALL requirements of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration specification 21CFR 177,1520, covering safe use of polyolefin articles intended for direct food contact.

The Art's Way Vessels Rotolining is a modified thermoplastic polyethylene- based coating resin. It is heated and baked to conform to the inside dimensions of the vessel. It is available as a 35-mesh powder and offers exceptional stress crack resistance and excellent adhesion to metals and selected polymers. The material is used in lining applications for pipes, drums, tanks and vessels. It also provides resistance to a wide range of chemicals and is designed for use in applications requiring corrosion resistance, insulation, abrasion resistance, and impact resistance.

Art's Way Vessels is showcasing their Rotolining tanks and vessels at the 2008 Water Quality Association Aquatech Exhibition at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV this week.

J. Ward McConnell, Jr., Chairman of the Board, said, "There is a great need for Art's-Way Vessels' new, thermoplastic, rotolining coating in the marketplace. Now vessel and tank owners can upgrade and modernize their current vessel fleet and expand their intended use by implementing our rotolining. The lining application is quick and simple, cost effective and can extend the life of the vessel as well as greatly expand its application. We are excited about this new product and think it will be a great complement to the pressure or atmospheric vessels, skids, piping, vessel components and steel fabrication already offered by Art's-Way Vessels, Inc."
