Our Journey started over 50 years ago

1971

Terry Warren started the first company

In 1971, Terry Warren founded the first company, focusing on protective coatings, by developing a new specialist protective coating application company for the steel industry. Over the years, the company expanded to include rubber lining, polymer divisions, and steel tank fabricating and plate processing lines in the US and Canada.

What we do


Rubber Linings Shop & Field

Different applications require unique elastomers and Duratech Systems specialize in installing all of them. We work with our customers to meticulously evaluate the temperature, chemical composition and concentration of the conveyed materials to determine the optimal compound for their specific application.

  • Natural Rubber Compounds:
    • Soft natural rubber – good for abrasive environments and general-purpose chemical resistance
    • Semi-hard – used in water treatment equipment and oxidizing/plating solutions. FDA compliant options are available
    • Ebonite (bone-hard) – suitable for valves and piping systems
  • Synthetic Rubber Compounds:
    • Neoprene – excellent UV and ozone resistance for general purpose abrasion and chemical resistance.
    • Chlorobutyl – good chemical resistance for most acids and caustics. FDA compliant options are available.
    • Bromobutyl – superior temperature resistant to acids and caustic solutions up to 260°F
    • Nitrile – use for oil tank linings or when hydrocarbons are present.

We excel in lining pressure vessels, over-the-road tankers, mixing equipment, and any storage or processing equipment requiring corrosion and abrasion protection.

Our rubber lining services are available both at our facility and in the field, ensuring the highest quality in the industry. We uphold the highest standards and are dedicated to protecting your most valuable assets.

For the most environmentally friendly safe, and cost effective solution to reduce vapor loss , install Emission shield aluminum internal floating roofs in your above ground storage tanks.


  • ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

    75% reduction in vapor loss vs skin and pontoon roof designs.

  • CERTIFIED

    Fully API 650 Annex H Code compliant.

  • SAFE

    Significantly reduces fire danger.

Emission Shield® Features

The best solution for reducing product loss in storage tanks.

  • Innovative

    Sets the standard for best available technology.

  • Express

    25% less installation time.

  • Neatness

    98% less weld length immersed in product.

  • Design

    Streamlined design and efficiency of construction.

  • Cost Effective

    40% fewer panels to erect and weld.

  • Efficiency

    80% less rim butt welds.

How it works

We ensure quality & support for an innovative solution in the storage tank industry.

Emission Shield® is a full contact aluminum internal floating roof (IFR) system engineered to significantly reduce carbon footprint over traditional steel and aluminum internal floating roofs. Additionally, Emission Shield® virtually eliminates vapor space under the floating roof, significantly reducing fire danger. Emission Shield® sets the standard for best available technology (BAT) and is fully API 650 Annex H Code compliant.

Tank owners will appreciate Emission Shield's features and benefits over competing products because of the streamlined design and efficiency of construction. Installation time is reduced because there are 40% fewer panels to erect and weld on a typically sized roof. With 0% emission deck seams, vapor loss is reduced by 75% when compared to traditional skin and pontoon roofs. Emission Shield has 98% less weld length immersed in the product than competing products (4" vs. 20' per panel). This allows for more focused and rigorous NDE of the wetted (critical) area and vastly reduces the possibility of "hot panels" being created by product incursion.

The Emission Shield® floating roof incorporates the inherent buoyancy advantage of closed chamber floating roofs over raft style floating roofs while significantly reducing or eliminating the potential for product incursion into the closed compartments. Our design has approximately 80% less rim butt welds than competitors resulting in longer more stable rims. Emission Shield's low profile coupled with its cable suspension maximizes tank storage capacity.
