Solving Challenges in the ISO Tank Industry


Chemical-resistant lining systems engineered for ISO tank containers transporting Class 8 corrosive and hazardous chemicals across global supply chains.

Protecting What Moves the World’s Most Hazardous Chemicals

ISO tank containers frequently carry highly corrosive chemicals that can degrade lining systems and compromise asset integrity over time. Combined with multimodal transport, temperature variation, and cargo changes, these conditions increase the risk of contamination, failure and unplanned downtime. Maintaining reliable protection in these environments is critical to safe and efficient operations.

Class 8 Chemical Aggression

These cargoes attack conventional lining systems, causing degradation, pinholing, adhesion loss, and ultimately containment failure. The lining must resist sustained chemical immersion for years.

Product Purity and Cargo Integrity

If absorption is excessive, it can discolor, dilute, or contaminate the commodity being transported. Lining-induced contamination is a product quality and liability issue.

Multimodal Stress and Environmental Variation

ISO tank containers travel by truck, rail, and ship, stacked in depots, loaded onto chassis, and exposed to temperature variation, vibration, and physical handling.

Safety and Containment Compliance

A lining failure in an ISO tank carrying Class 8 chemicals is a serious safety and environmental event with regulatory consequences and significant liability.

Advanced Protection for Corrosive Cargoes

APC’s ChemLINE coating systems are engineered to protect ISO tank containers transporting Class 8 hazardous chemicals, where resistance to corrosion and long-term durability are essential. Each system is selected based on chemical compatibility and service conditions to ensure reliable performance across varying transport environments.

By combining advanced polymer technologies with a compatibility-driven approach, we help operators reduce the risk of lining degradation and cargo contamination. Backed by technical documentation and real-world validation, these systems support confident, defensible decisions in critical applications.

Cheaper epoxy linings degrade faster under aggressive chemical exposure, leading to more frequent relining cycles and increased risk of containment failure. ChemLINE is designed to extend service intervals and reduce total relining cycles over the life of the tank.
