Denso, Inc. is promoting its Viscotaq Tank Base Corrosion Protection System as a practical solution for protecting above-ground storage tanks from one of their most common failure risks: tank base corrosion.

Tank base corrosion can weaken structural integrity, increase maintenance costs, and create environmental risks if moisture or contaminants penetrate the tank chime area.

How the Viscotaq System Works

The system is designed to create a durable, moisture-resistant barrier around the tank base and ring wall.

Its application includes four main components:

• Viscotaq Adhesion Promoter for primer adhesion
• ViscoMastic or ViscoMastic XHT to seal gaps and cracks
• Viscotaq EZ-Wrap for visco-elastic coating protection
• Archco Topcoats for UV, chemical and temperature resistance

Why It Matters for Industrial Operators

The system is designed to help operators:

• reduce water intrusion
• prevent contaminant infiltration
• extend tank service life
• lower maintenance costs
• reduce safety and environmental exposure

Its flexibility and modular design make it suitable for high-temperature, chemical-exposure and harsh outdoor environments.

Industry Insight

For storage tank operators, corrosion protection is not only a maintenance issue. It is a risk-management strategy.

A properly protected tank base can reduce unplanned repairs, prevent environmental incidents and preserve critical infrastructure value.
