The importance of painting metal structures and industrial equipment

• Corrosion prevention: Creating an impermeable physical and chemical barrier between the metal and the external environment.
• Increasing durability and lifespan: Postponing the wear and tear of structures for several decades.
• Resistance to harsh conditions: Resistance to acids, bases, solvents and high temperature.
• Improving safety: Using Standard warning colors on special equipment.
• Beautification of the work environment: Creating an orderly and hygienic environment that strengthens the morale of employees.

Key factors affecting the price of painting metal structures and industrial equipment

1. Type and quality of paint and primer

2. The size, thickness and area of ​​the work surface

3. Method of surface preparation and foundation

Painting on a dirty or rusty surface is completely useless. Surface preparation includes manual cleaning, degreasing, sandblasting or the use of mechanical tools to achieve standard cleanliness (such as Sa 2.5). The rougher and more rusty the surface of the metal, the more difficult and expensive the preparation will be.

4. Access and physical conditions of the project site

Painting at high altitude, confined spaces and ducts, or equipment that is difficult to access requires scaffolding, special safety equipment and more time. The difficulty of working at height or harsh weather conditions directly affects the price of painting metal structures and industrial equipment.

5. Required equipment and tools

Using advanced devices such as airless spray, air pistols or traditional brush and roller methods determines the speed of work and the quality of the output. The use of modern devices increases work efficiency and minimizes paint waste.

Technical steps of industrial painting of structures and equipment

In order to not waste the cost of painting metal structures and industrial equipment, the project should proceed according to the following standard steps:

First stage: expertise and initial evaluation

The technical team should closely inspect the structure or equipment. The type of alloy, previous corrosion rate, environmental weather conditions (humidity, temperature, presence of chemical gases) are measured and the appropriate color system is suggested.

Second stage: mechanical and chemical preparation of the surface

At this stage, all the pollution, oils, greases and old rust layers are cleaned with appropriate methods such as washing with solvents and sandblasting, so that the metal surface becomes completely shiny and rough (for better paint adhesion).

The third step: applying the initial layer or primer (lining)

Zinc-Rich Primers are usually applied as a first coat to the metal to provide cathodic protection and prevent re-initiation of rusting.

Step four: Apply the middle and final layers

After the primer dries, the next layers (such as intermediate epoxy and final polyurethane) are applied in accordance with the standard thickness. The final layer usually has the task of resisting the sun's UV rays and maintaining the gloss and color of the structure.

Why should you refer to experts for industrial painting?

Many people mistakenly think that industrial painting is the same as building painting. But these two areas are completely different. Failure to observe the mixing ratio of two-component paints, failure to control the humidity and temperature of the environment during execution, and poor foundation causes the paint to peel quickly in less than a few months.

Entrusting the work to a specialized team ensures that:

• The suitable color is selected according to the climatic and functional conditions of the equipment.
• The thickness of the paint is checked with digital thickness tester (DFT) devices.
• The project is executed on time and with the least stoppage in the production line of the factory.
• By optimizing the use of paint, the price of painting metal structures and industrial equipment is reduced for the client.
