I heard about a special paint which prevents build ups in cement silo. Does anybody have an experience with such? Thx

Dear Saddam,
Though i have not heard about any such paint, but reason behind build up in silos is fast cooling of the cement. This is why cemented silos encounter almost nil such type of problems while this is a general phenomenon in steel silos.
The paint should be for better insulation in the silo.

Dear Gulam
Many years ago we even tried that paint in one of our cement silos (made of concrete). There was one big spot painted. And the inspection confirmed it works. Unfortunately I have that info only from old workers who saw it. And no any info about remaining. That is why I decided to come here and ask for an international experience.

In our case it is driven also by moisture penetration through the walls (bad luck)
