Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/28/2011 -- Industrial coatings are generally used to diminish the effects of corrosion thus preventing the metal from being tarnished or damaged. Industrial protective coating enhances the finesse of the metal or material which in turn improves the quality. The important feature of these coatings is that they are weather proof and hence they provide robustness to the products used in the industries are more prone to be affected by the weather conditions.
Bridges and Infrastructure
Concrete and steel bridges, sound barriers and other infrastructure elements are subject to extremes of weather, temperature cycling and UV exposure, and also to chemical attack from atmospheric acids and coastal salts. Both structural steel and steel reinforcement within concrete therefore must be protected against long-term corrosion by the use of Ultimate Linings Protective Coatings.Polyurea's ability to outlast paint and fight off corrosion is a major reason these systems are being specified for bridge deck and structure coating by State DOT's around the nation. The most common applications of polyurea coatings on bridges are over steel and concrete.
Tanks and Pipelines
Polyurea linings are resistant to many chemicals and industrial liquids. With their fast application advantages and ability to adhere to properly prepared substrates, polyureas are ideal for new storage tank primary lining and rehabilitation projects.
Water and Waste Treatment
Fast cure, chemical and abrasion resistant, concrete primary and secondary containment linings. What more can you say about Polyurea applications for the Wastewater Treatment industry?
Manhole & Sewer Linings
Polyurea manhole lining is a rapidly growing market due to polyurea’s ability to solve many current issues with groundwater infiltration and installation speed. Many municipal and private water systems are in great need of lining and structural repair. With proper surface preparation and substrate conditions, primers and Polyurea can be applied fast to return the cavity to service faster than most competitive systems. Polyurea’s ability to form a monolithic, durable liner protects the cavity from sediment and groundwater infiltration into municipal wastewater systems.
Theme Park & Decorative Design
Theme Parks often use polyurea as a protective coating over foam, EPS and other structures to create ornamental building fascia, themed characters, artificial rocks, pools and environments.
Garage Coatings
Coatings are formulated for use on metal roofing, metal building panels, column covers, garage and entry doors, rainware, gutters, siding, fascia trim, HVAC, lighting fixtures, appliances and more. All of these applications require special properties to handle harsh exterior and interior extremes, such as flexibility, colourfastness, and the ability to perform in a wide range of industrial, commercial and residential applications.
Epoxy coating and fluoropolymer coating are the most widely used industrial coatings that are being used in varied applications. These coatings ensure the smooth finishes thus providing prolonged life to metals used in industries. These coatings have the effective lubricants that ensure high chemical and abrasion resistance thereby improving the efficacy of the metals.Use of industrial coatings reduces the friction, offers high electrical and weather resistance that are quite significant to ensure that the materials and equipments are well protected through these coatings. Industrial coatings are therefore widely available in variety of types to take care of the needs and requirements of numerous industries.
