Benefits of Using Abrasive Blasting Before Surface Coating

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.

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.

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.

How Temporary Climate Solutions Help Power Plants Control Pollution

Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

The Clean Air Act makes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) responsible for setting air quality standards regarding “criteria pollutants.” Among these pollutants is sulfur dioxide (SO2), a highly reactive gas that affects air quality and has the potential to cause respiratory illnesses in those exposed to it. Power plants that process fossil fuels are a primary source of SO2 emissions and other pollutants. To maintain compliance with the EPA’s SO2 designations, power plants look to temporary climate solutions and protective surface coatings to improve emission controls and prolong the life of the equipment used.
