A brief portfolio and description of our most common services.
specialty steel Coatings
Specialty structural steel coatings are advanced protective layers applied to steel structures to enhance their durability, performance, and appearance. These coatings are designed to address specific challenges such as corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure. They typically include:
- Corrosion-Resistant Coatings: These coatings, often made from epoxy, zinc-rich, or polyurethane materials, protect steel from rust and deterioration caused by environmental factors.
- High-Temperature Coatings: Formulated to withstand extreme temperatures, these coatings prevent heat damage and maintain structural integrity in high-heat environments.
- Chemical-Resistant Coatings: These coatings protect steel from corrosive chemicals and harsh substances, making them suitable for industrial settings where exposure to chemicals is common.
- Aesthetic Finishes: Specialty coatings can also provide a decorative finish, improving the appearance of steel structures while offering protective benefits.
Overall, specialty structural steel coatings are crucial for extending the lifespan of steel assets, maintaining safety, and reducing maintenance costs.
Above ground storage tank sandblasting and pressure washing
Sandblasting and Hydroblasting are essential processes for preparing above-ground storage tanks for coatings and maintenance.
Sandblasting and pressure washing are essential processes for preparing above-ground storage tanks for coatings and maintenance.
- Sandblasting: This process involves propelling abrasive materials (such as sand or garnet) at high speeds onto the tank’s surface. The intense force removes rust, old coatings, and contaminants, creating a clean, roughened surface that enhances the adhesion of new coatings. Sandblasting ensures the tank is properly prepped for further treatment.
- Hydro Blasting: After sandblasting, hydro blasting involves using high-pressure water jets to clean the tank surface. This step removes any residual debris, dust, or particles left from sandblasting. Hydro blasting also helps to remove biological growth, grease, and other contaminants, ensuring a thoroughly clean surface ready for inspection or coating application.
Together, these processes ensure that the tank surface is in optimal condition for subsequent treatment, enhancing the effectiveness and longevity of protective coatings.
Epoxy Containments
The service of cleaning and coating epoxy containments involves several key steps to ensure optimal performance and durability of containment systems, which are designed to manage and contain hazardous or corrosive materials.
- Cleaning: The initial step involves thorough cleaning of the containment area. This process includes removing any accumulated debris, residues, or contaminants from the surface. Depending on the type of residue, methods such as pressure washing, scrubbing, or chemical cleaning agents may be used. The goal is to create a clean, contaminant-free surface to ensure proper adhesion of the epoxy coating.
- Surface Preparation: After cleaning, the surface is inspected for any damage or imperfections. Any cracks, holes, or other issues are repaired to create a smooth and even substrate. Surface preparation might also include sanding or roughening to improve the bonding of the epoxy coating.
- Application of Epoxy Coating: Once the surface is prepared, the epoxy coating is applied. Epoxy coatings are chosen for their durability, chemical resistance, and ability to form a seamless, protective layer. The coating is typically applied in multiple layers to ensure complete coverage and protection. The application can be done using brushes, rollers, or spray equipment, depending on the size and complexity of the containment area.
- Curing and Inspection: After application, the epoxy coating must cure properly to achieve its full strength and protective qualities. Curing times vary based on the product and environmental conditions. Once cured, the coating is inspected for any defects or areas needing touch-up to ensure a flawless finish.
This comprehensive service ensures that epoxy containments are effectively protected against chemical spills, leaks, and corrosion, extending their service life and maintaining their functionality.
Advanced solution services
Epoxy flooring
Specialty epoxy flooring services involve the application of high-performance epoxy coatings to enhance and protect floors in various environments. This process typically includes:
1 Surface Preparation: Thorough cleaning and repair of the floor surface to remove dirt, debris, and any existing coatings or damage. This ensures proper adhesion of the epoxy.
2 Priming: Applying a primer to promote adhesion between the floor surface and the epoxy coating, which helps achieve a strong bond and enhances durability.
3 Epoxy Application: Applying one or more layers of epoxy resin. Specialty epoxy floors often feature customized formulations for specific needs, such as anti-slip properties, chemical resistance, or high durability. The application may include decorative flakes or colored pigments.
4 Curing: Allowing the epoxy to cure completely, which can vary in time depending on the product and environmental conditions. Proper curing is essential for achieving the desired strength and performance.
5 Inspection and Finishing: Conducting a thorough inspection to ensure a uniform and flawless finish. Any imperfections are addressed, and additional topcoats or treatments may be applied for extra protection or aesthetic enhancement.
Specialty epoxy flooring services provide durable, low-maintenance, and visually appealing flooring solutions for industrial, commercial, and residential settings, often tailored to meet specific functional and aesthetic requirements.
water emulsion sealant & coatings
Microsealing through water emulsion is a specialized technique used to enhance the durability and water resistance of surfaces, typically in construction and infrastructure applications. Here’s a detailed description of the process:
1 Surface Preparation: The surface to be treated is first cleaned to remove any dirt, debris, or contaminants. This step is crucial to ensure that the water emulsion can properly adhere to the substrate. Any existing damage or cracks should be repaired before application.
2 Application of Water Emulsion: The microsealing agent, which is a water-based emulsion containing fine particles, is applied to the surface. This emulsion often includes polymers and other additives that improve the adhesion and flexibility of the sealant. Application can be done using a brush, roller, or spray equipment, depending on the surface area and texture.
3 Penetration and Sealing: The water emulsion penetrates into the surface, filling small pores, cracks, and imperfections. As the water evaporates, the emulsion forms a thin, flexible film that acts as a barrier against water ingress and environmental factors.
4 Curing: The sealed surface needs to be allowed to dry and cure properly. The curing time depends on factors like temperature, humidity, and the specific formulation of the emulsion. Proper curing ensures that the microseal achieves its intended protective properties.
5 Inspection and Maintenance: After curing, the treated surface is inspected to ensure that the microsealing has been applied uniformly and effectively. Regular maintenance checks may be necessary to address any wear and tear over time and to reapply the microsealing if required.
Microsealing through water emulsion provides a durable, water-resistant layer that enhances the longevity and performance of surfaces by protecting them from moisture and environmental damage.
