Phenolic vs. Epoxy Drum Lining
When choosing between phenolic and epoxy linings, there are a few factors to consider:
Phenolic (RESCO® 800):
- pH: 3.0 – 7.0
- Acid Resistance: High
- Application Flexibility: Moderate
Epoxy:
- pH: 7.0 – 9.0
- Acid Resistance: Moderate
- Application Flexibility: High
Testing the products you wish to store before choosing between phenolic and epoxy coatings will help you make a choice compatible with your drum lining needs.
How Does a Phenolic Solvent Drum Lining Work?
Phenolic resin is carefully applied to the cleaned interior surface of metal industrial drums. It is then cured at 425°F to create a durable, protective coating. This coating is resistant to caustic agents and chemicals, making it a safe, long-term storage and shipping solution.
