Protecting Municipal Water Tanks with Surface Coating

Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

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.

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.

Surface Preparation & Coating Tips for the Marine Industry

Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

Some of the marine industry’s most valuable assets are in harsh environments that lead to the constant structural degradation. In order to perform maintenance on the marine equipment, the structure must be in the ideal environment, free of humidity or extreme temperatures, for the preventive surface preparation and coating application to be effective.

Benefits of Using Abrasive Blasting Before Surface Coating

Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

Abrasive blasting uses various materials to strip imperfections, paint, rust and other contaminants from a surface. It’s an important step in surface coating preparation, as it cleans a substrate and creates a surface that will hold a protective coating. Blasting takes the place of more labor-intensive cleaning methods like wire brushing or sanding, and can speed up the surface preparation process by up to 75 percent.

3 Ship Maintenance Issues That Occur Surface Preparation & Coating

Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

Water—it’s essential for life, but also one of the most destructive elements on the planet. On military ships, the corrosive environment caused by salt water and marine growth can lead to structural weaknesses, as well as logistical and financial inefficiencies. Without the proper ship surface preparation before applying anti-corrosive coating, the coating will not adhere to a ship as well and will prematurely break down.
