Industrial coatings offer superior protection for parts, equipment, and machinery in harsh workplace environments and worksites. The most common type of industrial coating are Polymers, which include epoxy, polyurethane prepolymer, polyurethane, and fluoropolymer. Zinc plating is another industrial coating widely used for protection. Let’s review the types of coatings.
Epoxy
A polyoxide resin and a curative chemically bond together in this industrial coating application. The chemical reaction between the two liquid components creates a strong bond providing an extremely hard surface when the are mixed and applied properly.
Polyurethane prepolymer
Polyurethane prepolymer or moisture-cure polyurethanes are isocyanate-terminated prepolymers formulated to cure with ambient water.
Polyurethane
These coatings offer exceptional versatility, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. Polyurethane industrial paint comes in different finishes, from glossy to matte.
Fluoropolymer
Blends of high-performance resins and fluoropolymer lubricants, fluoropolymer coatings contain a superior dry film lubricant. This coating produces a smooth, hard, slick coating that is excellent protection against corrosion and chemical damage.
Zinc plating
Typically, zinc coatings are applied to metals that tend to rust as a protective layer against water and other atmospheric elements that cause corrosion.
Your bottom line and industrial coating protection
When professional commercial painting contractors apply industrial coatings, the protective advantages are many. Industrial coatings stop erosion and damage to machines and equipment from rust and corrosion. Additionally, coatings can minimize wear to equipment. These benefits can prolong the life of you machinery, reduce maintenance, and increase worker safety, which all add positively to your bottom line.
