LIQ Fusion 7000 FBE™
What happens when the industry leader in storage tanks teams up with the global leader in powder coatings and porcelain enamel technologies?
How about a FUSION POWDER-ON-POWDER system that outperforms Glass?
The ultimate interior tank lining system ever developed for water, wastewater, fire protection and industrial liquid applications. Outperforms ALL bolted tank interior coating systems offered today worldwide. (In potable water storage, our standard warranty starts at 5 years!)
EXT Fusion 5000 SDP™
What happens when both leaders focus on the tank exterior for long life, low maintenance service?
The ultimate exterior tank lining system ever developed for water, wastewater, fire protection and industrial liquid applications. Outperforms ALL tank exterior coating systems offered today worldwide. This coating system utilizes the protective properties of an exclusive FBE epoxy powder fused to substrate with a fused topcoat of SD Polyester. (In potable water storage, our standard warranty starts at 3 years!)

- Does not spall or crack... two inherent characteristics of glass lined coatings.
- Holiday free lining - LIQ Fusion FBE™ is fusion bonded to substrate surface.
- Electrostatic applied "powder-on-powder" system provides complete wrap-around on panel edges and in bolt-holes, a deficiency in glass lined coatings.
- All tank components are coated with LIQ Fusion FBE™, unlike glass tanks which utilize galvanized internal tank components.
- Fusion FBE™ & SDP™ can be repaired in the field if damaged, unlike glass coatings which cannot be field repaired.
- Does not require cathodic protection
(Note: In today's water and wastewater industry, the API 12B (flanged panel) tank construction is an outdated relic of the past. RTP (rolled, tapered panel) construction has replaced the API 12B design in ALL performance rating categories.)
- LIQ Fusion FBE™ (by Akzo Nobel) performance testing depicts superior performance over all coating systems offered for API 12B construction.
- LIQ Fusion FBE™ maintains a standard 5 year warranty in potable water storage.
- Competitor epoxy powder systems are offered with a 1 year standard warranty.
- EXT Fusion SDP™ performance is superior to epoxy powders topcoated with polyurethane.
- Polyurethane topcoats, offered by competitor brands, can be scratched off of base coat.
- EXT Fusion SDP™ is fused to substrate primer and cannot be scratched off, independent of base coat.
- EXT Fusion SDP™ maintains a 3 year standard warranty. Competitor epoxy powders are offered with a 1 year standard warranty.
