How Does Humidity Affect Surface Preparation and Coating?

Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

Corrosion prevention is vital to maintenance, safety and preservation of equipment. Without the right environmental conditions during the surface coating preparation, application and drying stages, the life of the preventive coating shortens, thus increasing maintenance costs. For this reason, companies often look to temporary climate control to ensure the success of the protective coating applications.

The Advantages of Converting Microfiche to Digital Form

Document Scanning

Sheets of microfiche are fragile and need dry, cool environments to prevent deterioration and tearing. While they serve an important role in the preservation of history, microfiche takes up storage space, requires time to find the appropriate images and needs special machinery to read the film. By converting microfiche to a digitized form with the help of document imaging services, your company can maximize its physical storage space and preserve the documents with a more permanent solution.

Protecting Municipal Water Tanks with Surface Coating

Disaster Preparedness, Paintings and Coatings

While water is essential to life, it’s one of the most destructive elements on the planet. Without the use of a water tank surface coating, the substrate in a municipal tank is vulnerable to factors such as corrosion, deterioration and nitrification. The destructive problems compromise the safety of the water within a tank and reduce the tank’s service life. Maintenance that includes the proper application of surface coatings mitigates these risks and increases a tank’s durability.

The Importance of Surface Coating for Crude Oil Tanks

Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

Crude oil tanks are generally made of steel. While steel offers the strength needed to hold and protect oil, it’s vulnerable to corrosion. During the manufacturing stage, modern steel tanks receive a protective surface coating to prevent corrosion. The coating, however, doesn’t last forever. It is necessary for the tanks to undergo maintenance every 5 to 10 years to reapply a surface coating to prevent corrosion, pitting and oil leaks.
