Blasting and Painting Services

Complete Coating Solutions

It is a fast and economical process for smoothing a rough surface, roughening a smooth surface, shaping a surface, removing existing coatings, and cleaning off contaminants such as rust and scale before application of any coat.

We use one or more forms of abrasive media, from aggressive to mild, depending on the substrate and finishing requirements following the international standards followed by paint inspection tests that is thickness measurement, surface profiling, adhesion test.

We render such services as refurbishment for oil and gas storage tanks for both above ground as well as buried tanks, maintenance of commercial and industrial facilities which complies to the all-International standard specifications.

Paint Systems & Applications

Different paints can be used to protect a variety of materials. No paint can be used in all environments!

Epoxy Coatings

High-performance epoxy coatings provide excellent chemical resistance, adhesion, and durability. Ideal for steel structures, concrete floors, and immersion service.

  • High chemical resistance
  • Excellent adhesion
  • Immersion service

Polyurethane Coatings

Superior UV resistance and color retention make polyurethane coatings ideal for exterior applications. Excellent gloss retention and weather ability.

  • UV resistant
  • Color retention
  • Weather resistant

Zinc-Rich Primers

Inorganic and organic zinc-rich primers provide cathodic protection to steel substrates. Essential for long-term corrosion protection in aggressive environments.

  • Cathodic protection
  • Long-term corrosion resistance
  • Self-healing properties

Intumescent Coatings

Passive fire protection coatings that expand when exposed to high temperatures, providing insulation to steel structures during a fire.

  • Fire protection
  • Thermal insulation
  • Aesthetic finish

Factors Influencing Paint System Selection

  • Cost - Initial and lifecycle cost considerations
  • Ease of maintenance - Repairability and touch-up requirements
  • Customer's expectation - Required durability and appearance
  • Application methods - Available spray, brush, or roller equipment
  • Structure design - Complexity and accessibility
  • Substrate - Steel, concrete, aluminum, or galvanized surfaces
  • Service environment - Corrosivity category per ISO 12944
  • Surface preparation - Available blasting and cleaning capabilities

Corrosivity of the Environment ISO 12944-2

It is important to identify the corrosivity category of an environment since it will relate to:

  • Corrosion rate of the building material
  • Material selection of building products
  • Selection of proper corrosion protection methods
C1 Very low - Heated interiors
C2 Low - Rural atmospheres
C3 Medium - Urban/industrial
C4 High - Industrial/coastal
C5 Very high - Offshore/chemical
CX Extreme - Marine/offshore

Surface Preparation Standards

Proper surface preparation is essential for coating performance and longevity

Sa3

White Metal Blast

100% cleanliness. No visible oil, grease, dust, or mill scale. Uniform metallic color.

SSPC-SP5 / NACE 1

Sa2.5

Near White Metal

95% cleanliness. Minimal shadows, streaks, or discolorations remain.

SSPC-SP10 / NACE 2

Sa2

Commercial Blast

66% cleanliness. Mill scale, rust, and coatings removed except for slight shadows.

SSPC-SP6 / NACE 3

Sa1

Brush-Off Blast

Light cleaning. Loose mill scale, rust, and coatings removed.

SSPC-SP7 / NACE 4

Power Tool Cleaning

SP3 - Power tool cleaning, SP11 - Power tool cleaning to bare metal.

SSPC-SP3 / SP11

Hand Tool Cleaning

Removal of loose rust, loose mill scale, and loose paint by hand brushing.

SSPC-SP2

Inspection Equipment

  • Coating Thickness Gauge - Dry film thickness measurement
  • Surface Profile Gauge - Anchor pattern depth measurement
  • Holiday Detector - Pinhole and discontinuity detection
  • Adhesion Tester - Pull-off and cross-cut adhesion tests
  • Environmental Meter - Temperature, humidity, dew point

Application Methods

  • Brush Application

    Ideal for small areas, touch-up, and stripe coats

  • Roller Application

    Suitable for large flat surfaces and floor coatings

  • Airless Spray Application

    High production rates, excellent for large structures

  • Air Assisted Spray

    Fine finish, good transfer efficiency
