BLAST CLEANING

The first stage of our process is Blast Cleaning, formerly known as Shot Blasting. We clean all metals using a high-speed stream of particles powered towards the object.

We do this to ensure a thorough removal of previous paints, lacquers and surface rust prior to any painting. This process takes place in one of our 12M blast cleaning sheds.

We have capacity and capability for all sorts of obscure objects, no matter what size!

For more information on our equipment and blasting standards, please contact us.

POWDER COATING

Powder Coating is the application of dry powdered paint onto an object using a low. velocity spray gun. Electrostatic Spray Deposition (ESD) means that the charge in each paint particle is drawn to the metal object, almost like a magnet.

After the metal has been sprayed, we bake the object in our custom oven at temperatures of up to 200° to cure the paint. This ensures the coating is crack, chemical and corrosion resistant.

We have the facility to coat almost every type of metal, in over 300 types of paint colours and a multitude of surface effects and gloss. We can even mix specific chemical properties if required.

For a bespoke quote and to learn more about our range of colours please contact us.

WET SPRAYING

Different to Powder Coating, Wet Spraying is the application of liquid paint dispensed through an air gun. The gun compresses the paint particles directly onto the object.

Using our multi-coat wet spray system, our product can last between 15-25 years. We are NORSOK compliant, meaning we can meet all offshore regulations and global requirements.

We can colour match to achieve your corporate colours or even create a custom mix.

Our wet spray service is the perfect solution for coating offshore, subsea, power generation and water industry objects.

INSPECTION

As part of our commitment to quality, we take all products through a rigorous inspection process and quality control procedure before sign off.

Using our inspection suite and custom testing equipment, our NACE level 3 onsite inspectors authorise each piece of work, no matter how big or small.

We partner with all our suppliers and industry governing bodies to conduct regular audits of our internal processes to ensure they exceed industry standards.

Further, to ensure our coatings are resistant to the elements, we periodically send samples for salt spray and humidity testing. After all, quality really is the essence of our business.

PACKAGING

It is imperative that the goods are packaged to the correct standard after the coating process.

We have a wide variety of packaging solutions to ensure that your goods do not get damaged in transit.
