Surface preparation before painting any kind of steel is key to ensuring the longevity of metal paint and other coatings. Good surface preparation Proper surface preparation is essential and one of the preconditions for a long lasting protective coating systems. […]
Most people when talking about structural steel focus on engineering and design, material selection, and the types of welding processes that are used. Structural steel finishes, however, can have a major impact on a finished product’s durability, functionality, and appearance. […]
Structural steel designers and builders are often faced with the challenge of finding a protective coating system to protect their assets. These assets will need to be protected from the elements and any other damage caused by their operating environment. […]
The benefits of using specialist industrial coatings for structural steel are significant. Specialist industrial coatings are essentially paints that are used to protect various substrates, like concrete or steel. They are an essential part of the production process for any […]
The critical challenge with structural steel is rusting, leading to corrosion and potential failure. Steel rusts when an electrolyte (e.g. water, soil) and oxygen are both present. The rusting process is accelerated by atmospheric pollutants such as sulphates, chlorides acids […]
Industrial floors are often challenging surfaces to paint due to their wide variations and composition, as well as their exposure to harsh conditions. However, once painted, they are even harder to maintain. A good-quality floor paint will withstand harsh conditions, […]
