Silo sealing for gas-tight storage
Sealing your silos can help you control or eliminate pests and mould while using less chemical, saving you money and time, and giving you a better return on your crop and a marketing advantage for export.
Silo sealing is the process of modifying new or existing silos, so that no air or gas can escape from within or get into the silo once it has been loaded with grain (or similar commodities) and closed.
A silo which has been modified in this way is often referred to as being a `controlled atmosphere’ or ‘gas-tight’ storage where the atmosphere inside is now fully contained -preventing gas from escaping or anything else from entering.
Our silo sealing system was designed in Australia in 1983. Since 2011 there has been a growing interest and participation from countries around the world, wanting to seal their storages in line with changing dynamics in fumigation techniques for residue-free commodities.
The Australian Grain Industry Code of Practice recommends sealed storage. We can install new sealed silos or help you seal existing silos to comply with the Australian Standard AS2628 to protect your crop, minimise chemical residue, and maximise your returns.

Global Flexible Filler
Global Flexible Filler is a premixed light weight acrylic flexible pointing mortar that can be fashioned to form a waterproof wedge or fillet that when cured can allow water run off. Global Flexible Filler can be used to fill voids and uneven gaps between the metal siding and concrete plinth on the outside of grain storage silos and can assist in preventing water ingress under the bottom of the tank. Global Flexible filler is designed to bend and flex with the substrate, is water based and has great performance through a wide range of climatic and environmental conditions.

Global HRC (Heat Reflective Paint)
GLOBAL HRC is an innovative water based, heat reflective coating formulated from acrylic polymers for maximum heat reflectivity and durability. The coating is an ideal primary heat barrier when applied to external surfaces such as roofs, walls of buildings, storage facilities and enclosures. Global HRC is produced in brilliant white only. The product can be tinted to a wide range of colours for use wherever a high performance decorative or protective coating is required; however, the heat reflective properties diminish acutely with the introduction of colour. This easily applied coating has specific adhesion properties for application to galvanized steel, concrete and masonry.
