The High Cost of Corrosion

Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

Corrosion is more than an eyesore. Its effects compromise the integrity of metals, polymers and ceramics, and has a staggering impact on worldwide economy. Since the mid-20th century, countries around the globe have studied the economic costs of corrosion, concluding that its effects significantly affect society. These studies reveal the financial importance of corrosion control using techniques such as surface preparation and coating.

How Surface Preparation & Regular Coating Enhance Workplace Safety & Wellness

Paintings and Coatings

Petrochemical products have a significant role in everyday life. Without them, fuels, solvents, drugs, clothing, flooring, insulation, beauty products, electronics, and other products that you rely upon might not exist. Before these products enter homes and businesses, crude oils and fuels sit in steel storage tanks that are vulnerable to corrosion. Corrosion control programs that include regular maintenance, inspections and proper surface preparation for coating applications enhance the safety of workers while protecting the integrity of the raw materials.

How Predictive Maintenance Can Help Your Marine Ships from Being Permanently Damaged

Paintings and Coatings

Just as vehicles, HVAC units and other types of mechanical equipment require regular upkeep, marine vessels also require ongoing maintenance to run efficiently. Planned or periodic maintenance might not be enough to keep ships, particularly those at sea, from experiencing equipment and machinery failures. For this reason, some operations add predictive maintenance to their repertoire of preventive measures. By understanding what predictive maintenance is and implementing it on your own vessels, you will further enhance their efficiency, extend their lifespan and save on repairs.

3 Signs that Your Ship May Need Surface Preparation and Coating This Year

Paintings and Coatings

Painting systems are essential to preserving a ship’s structure and components. Unfortunately, they are not a permanent solution. When a ship does not experience obvious damage (e.g., caused by grounding or a fire) or conditions that could compromise a protective coating’s strength (e.g., extreme temperatures), it is important to be mindful of the circumstances that could necessitate repeat surface preparation and coatings to prolong the vessel’s life and ensure crew safety.

The Importance of Climate Control in Surface Preparation and Coating for Marine Vessels

Paintings and Coatings

A protective coating is only as good as the surface to which it was applied. To ensure the successful application of protective coatings on vessels, the use of marine temporary climate solutions are vital. Failure to control the environment could result in improper adhesion, premature failures and corrosion. By understanding why environmental controls are important when applying protective coatings on vessels, you’ll improve the quality and efficiency of this vital maintenance task.
