Industrial Coatings Application
Depending on the project and type of coating required, coatings will be applied using brushes, airless sprayers, conventional spray, or paint rollers.
Following is a list of the typical industrial coatings that we use based on the type of project we are contracted to work on. These are typically used for structures and equipment.
Epoxy – Tanks, buildings, structures, and different types of steel
Polyurethane – Tanks, steel structures
Moisture cure urethane – industrial buildings and structures
Enamel – Cars, heavy equipment, and general painting.
Marine Applications:
Corrosion prevention coatings in extreme environments such as Saltwater and acid environments require thicker and more extreme coatings such as Inorganic and Organic Zinc. This application will protect exposed metals for many years.
Classification of Paint Coatings:
Primer: Used after sandblasting or sanding and is used to protect bare metal and bind the properties of the steel to the first coat of paint. Painting without a prime coat will result in rust bleed and flaking of paint.
Second coat: Used to build millage for thickness.
Final coat: Used for appearance and for protection against elements.
Stripe coating: Used to build millage on the corners and edges of steel surfaces where a paint sprayer can’t get to.
