Lots of vessels now carry liquified gas in specific tanks. These LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) or LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) tanks contain criogenic gas, which constraint a lot the recipient and the support.
That’s why wood components are utilized and we apply Phillymastic TG7-B resin in order to create interface between tanks and wood components. The target is to have an homogenous load repartition.
Phillymastic TG7-B has the following advantages:
- Temperature range: -165°C et +40°C
- Good compressive strength
The way to apply this product is very particular as we have to do it all around the tank (see pictures) and the tank geometry can be different (spherical, prismatic, …)
