MEMPHIS, TN – June 19, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Industrial Applications Inc., a specialized secondary containment coatings company serving industrial facilities since 1989, today highlighted the growing importance of proper containment systems as regulatory agencies increase enforcement of environmental protection standards across manufacturing and processing sectors.

The announcement comes as facilities nationwide face heightened scrutiny from both OSHA and EPA regarding their spill prevention and containment measures. Industrial Applications Inc. provides specialized coating solutions for waste water containment tanks, industrial tank farms, and chemical containment pits at power plants, addressing the critical need for facilities to meet or exceed current safety standards.

“With environmental regulations becoming more stringent each year, facilities cannot afford to overlook their secondary containment infrastructure,” said Bridget DiCello, Environmental Compliance Director at Industrial Applications Inc. “We’re seeing increased demand from facilities that recognize proper containment coatings are essential not just for regulatory compliance, but for protecting their operations and the surrounding environment from potentially catastrophic spills.”

The company offers comprehensive secondary containment options designed to withstand harsh industrial environments and aggressive chemicals. These solutions include epoxy coatings, urethane concrete systems, and fiberglass-reinforced linings, each engineered to deliver optimal protection based on specific facility requirements and chemical exposure profiles.

Industrial Applications Inc. has completed numerous high-profile containment projects, including a recent 6,500 square foot waste water containment tank at a treatment facility. The project involved mechanical blasting for surface preparation, comprehensive void and crack filling, hand-troweled primer application, and polyurethane coating installation to ensure complete protection against leaks and environmental contamination.

The company’s containment coatings serve a diverse range of industries where chemical storage and processing present environmental risks. These sectors include food processing facilities, chemical and petrochemical plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, agricultural cooperatives, liquid fertilizer plants, aviation facilities, water and wastewater treatment plants, power generation facilities, and general manufacturing operations.

Secondary containment systems have become increasingly vital as facilities handle larger volumes of hazardous materials and face substantial penalties for environmental violations. Properly installed and maintained containment coatings prevent soil and groundwater contamination, protect facility infrastructure from chemical damage, and ensure compliance with federal and state regulations.

The specialized nature of secondary containment coating installation requires experienced teams familiar with industrial facility operations and safety protocols. Industrial Applications Inc. maintains crews with extensive experience working in active industrial environments, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations while delivering compliant containment solutions.

Industrial Applications Inc. has provided concrete floor coating services to industrial and commercial customers throughout the Southeast since 1989. The company specializes in polished concrete services, epoxy floor coating systems, and secondary containment solutions for facilities requiring chemical-resistant protection. Their comprehensive approach includes surface preparation, concrete repair, and installation of specialized coating systems designed to meet specific industry requirements and regulatory standards.
