Expanding the Reach of PortaShield™ and Polyurea Coatings: Secondary Containment Solutions for the Aviation Industry

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

At VZT Solutions, we’ve built our reputation on delivering rugged, high-performance containment systems for the oil and gas industry. Now, we’re bringing that same innovation, durability, and regulatory expertise to a new frontier: aviation.

From aircraft maintenance to fueling infrastructure, aviation professionals face increasing pressure to maintain environmental compliance while minimizing operational disruption. That’s where VZT’s PortaShield™ and polyurea coating systems come in.

Why Aviation Facilities Need Reliable Secondary Containment

Whether it’s hydraulic fluid in a maintenance hangar or chemical runoff in a paint shop, the aviation industry handles a wide range of hazardous materials. These materials pose serious environmental risks if not properly contained — and can result in costly violations of EPA and FAA guidelines.

Expanding regional airports and aging infrastructure are creating new demand for containment solutions that are easy to install, durable, and adaptable to evolving operational needs. That’s where VZT’s polyurea-coated systems offer a clear advantage — combining flexibility with industrial-grade protection.

PortaShield™ and Polyurea Coatings: Rugged Solutions for High-Risk Aviation Environments

Originally engineered for the demands of the oilfield, PortaShield™ is a portable, polyurea-coated containment system designed to catch, control, and prevent leaks and spills. Complementing it, VZT’s polyurea coating solutions provide permanent, seamless protection for high-traffic, chemical-exposed areas such as fueling stations and maintenance floors.

Applications in Aviation Include:

• Aircraft Paint Shops:
  During paint removal, aggressive chemicals can damage floors and drainage systems. PortaShield™ mats capture and contain fluid runoff, while polyurea coatings provide a long-term surface barrier for easy cleanup and compliance.
• Maintenance Bays:
  Hydraulic oil, brake fluid, and coolants can compromise floor safety. VZT’s containment systems protect work areas with rugged, reusable barriers and durable coated flooring solutions.
• Fueling Infrastructure:
  Concrete containment around above-ground tanks requires chemical-resistant protection. VZT’s polyurea coatings meet this need, offering resistance to jet fuel, Avgas, and de-icing fluids — ideal for expanding regional airports or refueling upgrades.

Built for the Oilfield. Ready for the Runway.

Unlike traditional single-use liners or brittle plastic barriers, VZT’s containment and coating systems are built for performance and longevity:

• Durable: Polyurea-coated to resist fuel, paint stripper, and hydraulic fluids.
• Reusable: PortaShield™ systems can be repositioned and redeployed as operations shift.
• Portable: Quick setup without permanent infrastructure or downtime.
• Compliant: Supports EPA SPCC and FAA environmental standards.

Whether you manage a regional airport, oversee a maintenance operation, or plan aviation infrastructure projects, VZT’s solutions bring proven industrial performance to aviation applications — minimizing risk while enhancing compliance and efficiency.
