Military specifications are meant to outline the processes and procedures for completing a task so that the end results will meet military standards and approvals. There is an extensive catalogue of specifications that’s kept by the US military for a range of tasks. For over 16 years, the Navy specification has been included to improve the coating life and reduce costs.

When you rely on structures and tanks, corrosion is your worst enemy. Structures and tanks can protect against rust for decades—or it can fail within a few years. It all comes down to surface conditions.

Coating and painting large tanks, piping, and other large equipment that is at risk of corroding can be an expensive and stressful undertaking. If something goes wrong during the process or it’s done incorrectly, it can cost your company thousands of dollars, hours and hours of labor, and stress for owners and managers. But by following best practices, like implementing dehumidification and temperature control during the application, your company can improve its bottom line and avoid any headaches during a coating or painting project.

Corrosion is a natural phenomenon, but it can also be a dangerous and costly one. Luckily, it can also be controlled.

Surface preparation and painting during the winter can be extremely challenging with cold weather and sub-standard surface temperatures. Often, this time of year is the only opportunity to take critical operations offline for maintenance. No matter the time of year, delays are costly and need to be avoided or minimized. This is where rental equipment, such as temporary climate control can help keep winter painting projects running and completed on time.
