Painting
Paint is used, it forms a layer of protection that prevents corrosion. It may not be that thick, but it is a dependable layer that prevents outside chemicals from interacting with the steel. Therefore, ensuring your metal projects are more durable in the long run.
Application of Painting Services
Strecture painting – Painting is a protective layer of base metal, which is also a cost-effective method to keep metal from rusting and corrosion. It can prolong the service life of the base metal. On the other hand, the steel will look great if it is painted with colorful coatings.
Heat Resistant Paint – Heat resistant paints and coatings are developed to protect the surfaces that are exposed to rapid temperature changes and high heat. High temperature resistant paint can tolerate temperatures up to 600 °C.
Food Grade Paint – Food grade epoxy coating are the derivative of epoxies conjunctions with amine adducts, poly amide, polyamines etc. They provide air drying, salt water resistant finish and anti-corrosive coating, it also give anti-fungal properties for the storage silos and other components in food industries.
Testing and Measurements
Thickness measurement
A coating thickness gauge (also referred to as a paint meter) is used to measure dry film thickness. Dry film thickness is probably the most critical measurement in the coatings industry because of its impact on the coating process, quality and cost. Dry film thickness measurements can be used to evaluate a coating’s expected life, the product’s appearance, and performance, and to ensure compliance with a host of International Standards.
DFT Measurement
Dry film thickness (DFT) is the thickness of a coating as measured above the substrate. This can consist of a single layer or multiple layers. DFT is measured for cured coatings (after the coating dries). The thickness of a coating depends on the application and type of process employed.
WFT Measurement
A wet film thickness gauge is a tool that is designed to measure a liquid coating’s thickness in the easiest and fastest manner. It measures the thickness immediately after the coating has been applied to the material.
