What Are Prokol-Approved Applicators—And Why Should You Care?

When you’re investing in a high-performance coating for your tanks, bunds, or containment areas, it’s not just the product that matters—it’s the people applying it.

At Tankline, we’re proud to be Prokol-approved applicators. But what does that mean? And why should it matter to you as a client?

Let’s break it down.

Who or what is Prokol?

Prokol Coating Group is a European leader in polyurea-based coating technologies, producing fast-curing, highly durable membranes used for protecting steel, concrete, roofs, tanks, and more.

Their Pure Polyurea systems and Polyurea based coatings are trusted across water treatment plants, bunded chemical areas, offshore facilities, and industrial roofing projects worldwide.

But here’s the key: these products are only as good as the team applying them.

What Does “Prokol-Approved Applicator” Mean?

To become an approved applicator, a company must:

  • Complete hands-on technical training directly with Prokol Technical Training
  • Demonstrate mastery of plural-component spray equipment
  • Understand and follow strict surface preparation protocols
  • Prove capability in complex, high-risk environments
  • Undergo ongoing quality assurance reviews and support

In short, it’s a seal of quality. You’re not just getting the product—you’re getting manufacturer-backed peace of mind.

Why It Matters to You

Here’s why working with a Prokol-approved applicator like Tankline protects your investment:

Correct Application = Long-Term Performance

Polyurea systems cure in seconds, leaving no room for error. We’re trained to set the right pressure, temperature, and spray ratio for optimal bond strength and durability.

Precision Testing & QA

We follow Prokol’s strict standards for:

  • Dry Film Thickness (DFT) using Elcometer gauges
  • Adhesion strength testing
  • Holiday detection for pinholes and voids
  • Environmental conditions for cure success

Guarantee Eligibility

Incorrectly applied polyurea may not be covered by warranty. With Tankline, you can be confident your system is eligible for Prokol’s performance guarantees which had a industry leading 50 year guarantee.

No Guesswork, No Shortcuts

Some companies buy the materials but aren’t trained to apply them properly. That’s a huge risk. We’re not just buying Prokol—we’re trusted to apply it to spec.

Real-World Results

On a recent tank bund project, our team applied a 2.5mm rocathann membrane across 1600m² in under 7 days. Thanks to precise prep and correct application, the system passed all QA checks on the first attempt—saving the client time, money, and future headaches.

Trust the Trained Experts

When the stakes are high—chemicals, fuel, waste, or potable water—cutting corners on application just isn’t worth it.

With Tankline, you’re not just hiring a contractor. You’re partnering with a Prokol-trained, certified, and trusted team.
