Industrial & Protective Coatings

United Painting applies industrial and protective coating systems in the field, including epoxy and urethane coatings, for structural steel and other specified substrates. The work serves new construction, maintenance and recoating projects where project specifications, environmental exposure, surface preparation and long-term coating performance matter.

The coating approach is matched to the condition of the substrate and the system specified for the project.

Scope

Coating systems

Coating work follows the system named in the project specification. The systems United Painting applies include epoxy coatings, urethane coatings, corrosion-resistant and protective coatings, high-performance architectural coatings and specialty coatings. Product selection follows the specification.

  • Epoxy coatings
  • Urethane coatings
  • High-performance architectural coatings
  • Corrosion-resistant / protective coatings
  • Steel coatings
  • Floor coating systems on concrete floors
  • Tank and vessel coatings
  • Specialty coatings

Application

Steel coatings and corrosion protection

United Painting provides surface preparation and coating application for structural and miscellaneous steel on new construction, maintenance and recoating projects. Where steel and other substrates are exposed to conditions that contribute to corrosion and coating deterioration, protective coating systems are applied over properly prepared surfaces.

Preparation

Preparation before coating

A coating system depends on the surface beneath it. Existing coatings, rust and contaminants are removed as the specification requires, using methods that range from washing and tool cleaning to self-performed abrasive blasting.

Environments

Industrial and controlled environments

Protective coating work is carried out in industrial facilities and in federal and controlled environments. In operating facilities it is coordinated with facility operations, other trades and site safety procedures; in access-restricted sites, site access, scheduling and documentation requirements are part of the plan.
