Ensure maximum protection for floating roofs with these seals

| By Mary Page Bailey

Ensure maximum protection for floating roofs with these sealsDesigned to deliver durability and emissions control, the FlexCore liquid-mounted seal flor floating-roof tank applications ensures a superior vapor-tight seal by combining a reliable foam-log core with Armor Fabric vapor-barrier seal fabric. This design not only reduces emissions and already meets the EPA’s newest Clean Air Act standard (40 CFR 60 Kc), but also eliminates any vapor space and provides enhanced abrasion resistance, resulting in an elongated service life. FlexCore is faster to install and requires less labor and hardware than a mechanical shoe seal. It employs a variable-height mounting system to reduce foam log weight and simplify installation, also eliminating the need for hundreds of small fasteners and hardware. The FlexCore technology was recently honored in the Emerging Technologies category at the 2025 Global Tank Storage Awards. — Mesa Engineered Tank Products (ETP), Cincinnati, Ohio
