During his participation in the NISTM show, Adam Vance, General Manager of Mesa ETP, presented Armor Fabric™, the new technical material developed by the company. It is the strongest fabric manufactured to date by the company, with a red and black bi-layer composition that combines great flexibility with high abrasion resistance and chemical compatibility.
The objective is to extend the service life of storage tanks and improve the performance of components subjected to extreme conditions. This development comes in response to the accelerated wear of traditional materials, a frequent problem in the industry.
We go about making a product last 10, 15, 20 years longer than what we would see in other types of materials and help extend the life of tanks and provide a benefit to these tank owners long term.
Adam Vance.
Guaranteed quality: total commitment to standards
The company backs each of its products with a rigorous quality system certified under ISO 9001. This system includes inspection, calibration and internal auditing processes that ensure that what reaches the customer’s hands meets the highest levels of accuracy and reliability. This philosophy has positioned the brand as a global benchmark in aboveground storage tank solutions.
That transfers into the quality of product that we produce and ship out to our customers so that they know when they receive product from us that it’s good and accurate and complete, and they can trust the product that they get from us.
