Protective Coatings
Protective Coatings to Prolong the Lifespan of Industrial Installations and Equipment
Protective coatings are applied to shield a surface from degradation caused by corrosion.
Corrosion in metal occurs due to the effects of atmospheric agents in the environment, diminishing the mechanical properties and durability of metals, potentially leading to structural failures or collapses
Advantages of Applying Protective Coatings
Protective coatings allow:
- Extending the Lifespan of Equipment and Installations: Protecting a piece with an anticorrosive material halts its deterioration, consequently prolonging its lifespan.
- Reducing Maintenance and Replacement Costs: Anticorrosive protection significantly extends the repair and replacement timelines for treated parts or components..
- Minimizing Accident Risks: Preventing installations from deteriorating due to oxidation helps prevent workplace accidents.
Types of Anticorrosive Coatings
To create a protective covering and prevent direct contact with oxygen or other components that may oxidize the surface, various techniques and products are utilized based on the material of the surface and its intended use. At ALTTION, we have specialized teams and technicians in:
Manual Application
Application of protective paint using manual tools like brushes, rollers, spatulas, etc. This method is suitable for hard-to-reach areas or where spraying is not feasible.
Spray Application (Conventional, Airless, Plural, etc.)
This method is commonly used for large surfaces, providing high-quality finishes and enabling the application of thick and viscous coatings.
Hot application
Similar to spray application but utilizing sophisticated heating systems for the fusion of chemical components at different temperatures. This reduces viscosity without diluents, accelerates curing for rapid commissioning, etc.
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Lamination
FRP coatings are employed to prevent corrosion and deterioration on the interiors and exteriors of petroleum and petrochemical storage tanks and other services. This process restores the integrity of steel and avoids mechanical repairs..
