Agricultural machinery is a cornerstone of modern farming, playing a vital role in tasks ranging from planting and harvesting to irrigation and fertilisation. However, these machines endure significant wear and tear due to the demanding nature of agricultural work, especially […]
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 […]
Agricultural machinery is a cornerstone of modern farming, playing a vital role in tasks ranging from planting and harvesting to irrigation and fertilisation. However, these machines endure significant wear and tear due to the demanding nature of agricultural work, especially […]
Agricultural equipment and machinery are amongst the hardest-working tools in any industry. They are subjected to relentless wear and tear, harsh environmental conditions, and the challenging demands of modern farming. High-quality industrial coatings play a crucial role not only in […]
What is bleeding when working with industrial coatings? Bleeding through is usually caused by the full or partial re-dissolving of the previous coat or an ingredient of a previous coat. It can occur when strong solvents are used in […]
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, […]
Spring is…. springing. There is sunshine and blue skies before 6am and the clocks haven’t even gone back yet! Which means its the start of spring facilities maintenance season. With the long Easter weekend and the long end of term […]
What is water spotting when it comes to working with industrial coatings and how is it caused? Water spotting occurs when dried mineral deposits are left on a surface after being allowed to air dry. These light, whitish […]
