Industrial painting is somewhat of an art form. While it might not create masterpieces the likes of Rembrandt or Monet, it still takes a great deal of know-how and skill to paint various surfaces and provide impressive results. One of those surfaces is steel. Choosing the right paint for steelwork is important, especially when considering silo painting.
Steel is chosen for various reasons as a construction material. The following are the biggest reasons:
While all of those things are important, perhaps the biggest benefit is that its life can be lengthened considerably simply by applying corrosion-resistant coating.
It does not matter if it is applied to new construction or existing structures, the same benefits can be had.
When corrosive-resistant coatings are applied:
Enhanced Durability
As with most any exposed surface, when steel has direct contact with the elements, corrosion is bound to occur. By coating them with corrosion resistant paint, it offers superior protection even in the most corrosive environment.
Help in Corrosion Control
Think of the amount of steel structures in the world today. They all require maintenance and corrosion control. Whether it is silo painting or coating some other steel structure with paint, they will all last longer with proper care.
Some of the commercial or industrial applications for steel structure painting include:
If corrosion has set in on a steel structure, it takes away from the aesthetics of the design. When that corrosion is removed and a fresh coat of paint is applied, it makes the structure look new.
While we say contractors are painting a surface, there is more to it than just applying paint. There are a series of products and techniques used to create a beautiful finish. They are listed below:
Primers are applied to help durability and adherence of the paint to the structure. There are two separate categories of primers. They are below:
Intermediate coats are applied to help improve the thickness of the total anti-corrosion coatings. They provide the undercoating for the finish coats which are applied over a primer. They can be applied indoors or outdoors.
Stripe coats are used to help coating performance in various areas of a structure. These can include:
