ALKA · AUSTRALIAN COATINGS MANUFACTURER
Protective coatings for energy infrastructure
Protection across the energy asset lifecycle.
MANUFACTURER SYSTEM GUIDANCE
Start with the application.
From tank terminals and process steel to power generation and renewable infrastructure, ALKA systems support atmospheric protection, maintenance and selected lining applications.
Explore the asset pages below for relevant coating builds, selection guidance and product information. Each page separates external protection, maintenance and specialist lining requirements.

SYSTEM SELECTION
Three routes to the right protection.
| System | Why select it | Coating build | Total DFT |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALKA-9930 Premium External | Premium corrosion protection combined with a UV-stable, colour-retentive finish Abrasive-blasted carbon steel; external industrial and coastal atmospheric exposure | Alka 404 zinc-rich epoxy primer → Alka 413 high-build epoxy → Alka 421 polyurethane finish | 250–300 µm |
| ALKA-9937 Severe Maintenance | Combines surface tolerance, high build and glass-flake barrier performance for demanding maintenance work Prepared steel, galvanised steel, aluminium or stainless steel in difficult maintenance environments, subject to technical approval | Alka 418 MIO glass-flake surface-tolerant epoxy; one or two coats as specified | Nominal 250–600 µm depending on coat schedule |
| ALKA-9936 Chemical-Resistant Lining | Higher chemical resistance than standard epoxy systems for demanding process environments Prepared steel or concrete in tanks, bunds, process areas and secondary containment | Alka Tanklin 100 and/or Alka Tanklin Chem system selected to suit the chemical service | 450–600 µm |
DFT = dry-film thickness. These are nominal system totals; individual-coat thicknesses and application conditions belong in the final coating schedule.
PLAN THE SPECIFICATION
Define the duty before choosing the coating.
New steelwork
Match the primer, barrier and finish to the exposure. Include preparation, fabrication details and the required appearance.
Maintenance
Assess the existing coating and achievable preparation. Set repair boundaries and plan application and cure within the shutdown.
Linings & containment
Define the liquid or chemical, temperature, contact duration and substrate. Agree the complete lining and inspection schedule.
PRODUCTS & TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS
Go directly to the product information.
Read the published technical data sheets below, or open a product overview. Request the current SDS set and confirm the document revisions for your specification before procurement.
MANUFACTURER TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Turn the service conditions into a coating specification.
Send the asset, substrate, exposure and maintenance window. ALKA can help define the coating build, preparation and technical documentation for your review.
