Industrial painting plays a crucial role in the longevity and durability of various steel structures. As a protective measure, steel painting goes beyond aesthetics, providing a safeguard against corrosion, weathering, and wear. Without proper industrial painting, steel surfaces are left vulnerable to rust, which can weaken the structural integrity of a building or infrastructure over time.
Steel is widely used in industrial construction due to its strength and versatility, but it also requires specialised care. As industrial coating specialists, the team at Blastcoat Protective Coatings are equipped with the knowledge and skills to apply the right coatings to protect steel from harsh environmental conditions, such as moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure. Whether it’s a new construction project or maintenance of an existing structure, professional steel painting ensures a long-lasting and effective protective layer.
Selecting the right type of coating is key to the success of an industrial painting project. The Blastcoat team are trained to assess the specific needs of a project, considering factors such as the location, exposure to elements, and the type of steel being used. We employ advanced coating techniques, including epoxy, polyurethane, and zinc-rich primers, each offering varying levels of protection and longevity.
Blastcoat offers zinc-rich coatings and primers that have proven to deliver effective galvanic action against rust and corrosion and have long been acknowledged for their exceptional paint adhesion on both new and weathered galvanised surfaces. With a long history, zinc-rich coatings play a vital role in barrier and cathodic protection so that when exposed to moisture, zinc acts as the sacrificial anode, while steel becomes the cathode. In simple terms, the zinc sacrifices itself to preserve the steel from corrosive elements. Even if the surface is scratched, a zinc-coated area will continue to offer protection through slow sacrificial action as long as there is remaining zinc in the vicinity.
Blastcoat’s range of zinc primers includes single-coat zinc and epoxy primer systems, applied by hand or conventional spray guns, as well as complex airless application systems for high-density industrial metal coating products.
We provide an extensive selection of industrial metal coating products such as zinc phosphate primers, high-build zinc phosphate coatings, organic zinc-rich primers, inorganic zinc silicate coatings, and heat-resistant protective metal coatings.
Blastcoat offers high-quality epoxy coatings for various types of flooring and structural steel. Epoxy coatings have been a trusted industry solution for commercial concrete flooring and structural steel for many decades.
With resistance to corrosive chemicals, epoxy coatings can withstand harsh conditions, ensuring a long-lasting and visually appealing floor or structural steel. They dry quickly, offer toughness and abrasion resistance, making them an excellent investment for long-term use. When used as part of a duplex coating system on structural steel, epoxy coatings can be overcoated with a variety of finishing coatings, such as polyurethanes and polysiloxanes.
Blastcoat specialise in polyurethane coatings that are specifically formulated for chemical resistance, UV stability, serviceability, ease of application, and excellent aesthetic appearance. Polyurethane coating offers several notable features and benefits, including excellent weather performance and a high-quality topcoat that is ideal for heavy-duty purposes. It boasts low maintenance costs while providing long-term durability, as well as a high-performance coating. Additionally, the product is available in a wide range of colours, making it an attractive finish.
Polyurethane coatings find extensive use in a wide range of industries, including automotive, steel construction, facade, and panelling. They are applied in various applications, such as automotive refinishing, roller shutters, fascias, furniture and joinery, concrete topcoats over epoxies (for UV protection), structural steel, equipment, machinery, and manufacturing components.
We proudly serve Newcastle, the Upper Hunter (including Muswellbrook, Scone, and Singleton), the Lower Hunter (including Port Stephens), the Great Lakes region, the Central Coast, and Sydney. No matter where your project is located along the East Coast, Blastcoat has you covered.
