Industrial coatings offer superior protection compared to traditional paint. While paint may enhance appearance, industrial coatings:
Why Choose Industrial Coatings Instead of Paint?
Learn how to protect your facility from corrosion, chemicals, and wear with the right industrial coating.
Inhibit corrosion and rust
Reduce chemical and solvent attacks
Prevent erosion of the properly coated surface
Industrial coatings are primarily used to protect steel and concrete surfaces. They offer a cost-effective solution to protect the physical assets of the facility. Most of the coatings used as ‘maintenance’ coatings are easy and convenient for in-house maintenance crews to use, facilitating facility upkeep.

Surface Preparation Tips for Industrial Coatings
Proper surface preparation is essential for coating performance. Over 75% of premature coating failures are due to inadequate prep. Follow these steps to ensure long-term durability:
Use surface cleaners to thoroughly remove oil, grease, dirt, and other contaminants.
Use an appropriate method of mechanical cleaning to remove all loose, unsound rust, scale, or previous coatings.
Tightly adhering rust, scale, or existing coatings may remain if sound.
Always prime the surface before applying the topcoat for maximum adhesion and protection.
