Method of Application
- Airless Spraying
- Brush or Roller – Manual Painting
Airless spraying is the method we use most.
The painting/coating application develops a continuous highly adherent film with an even thickness over the substrate.
Prior to surface coating, we prepare the substrate in a proper manner. On this account, we ensure the removal of any matter which negatively affects the corrosion protection to obtain the appropriate adhesion of the protective coating system.
To avoid corrosion damage, steel structures have to be protected to withstand the corrosion stress during the required service life of the structure. Unprotected steel in the atmosphere, water and soil is subject to corrosion that may lead to damage.
Consequently, we advise the painting system to be selected for the corrosivity category of the environment where the structure is located and for the durability expectedto ensure effective corrosion protection to the substrate. In addition, our servicices provide you the appropriate level of surface cleanliness in compliance with the requirements of the preparation grade (where necessary, the roughness suitable for the selected coating system) and the application of required coating layers.
Where is required we perform manual painting as well.
Even though we apply the majority of coatings by airless-spraying, when we use the brush and/or roller paint application, also known as manual application, this is primarily preferred for touch-up during repair and for smaller areas where spraying is not possible for practical, environmental or any other reasons – the latter method requiring special attention to ensure proper adhesion and sufficient film build.
However, we perform brush or roller painting when the project requires it – brush painting being used for welds, railings, pipes and wherever access is difficult with an airless spray gun, while roller painting is used to reach difficult places, in principle, where it is appropriate and quicker than with a brush.
