What is a straightforward definition for industrial coatings?

Industrial coatings are a very important component of many different industries. In simple terms, there are a great deal of similarities between industrial coatings and paint that you might use in your home. On surfaces like steel or concrete, the industrial coatings are applied as a layer of protection for the surface. Just like when you paint a room in your home, the first step when applying industrial coatings is a coating of primer. After the primer, the protective coating is applied. And finally, a layer of sealant finishes the job.

 

What is the primary objective when using industrial coatings?

Generally speaking, industrial coatings protect a surface. The type of surface being protected and what it is being protected from helps determine which type of coating is best for the job. For example, industrial coatings are often applied to steel and concrete surfaces as a protective measure against corrosion. Corrosion can cause irreversible damage to these surfaces, and it can often lead to costly or even dangerous issues. Industrial coatings may also be used in order to make the surface resistant to various outside factors like fire or moisture. In other words, the layer of protection provided by industrial coatings help make your surface stronger, more durable, and more resistant to elements that can cause short-term or long-term damage.

 

What are some of the most common commercial uses for industrial coatings?

The application of industrial coatings is highly effective and appropriate for a variety of uses. It can be used for both residential and industrial clients. For commercial use, protective coatings can help protect tank linings, EDS (electro static discharge) flooring, MMA (methyl methacrylate) acrylics, and more. Options also include a variety of specialty coatings tailored for your needs.  For manufacturing plant floors, for example, the right coating will ensure a smooth, efficient workflow for your business. 

 

What are some uses for industrial coatings for residential clients?

In addition to commercial use, industrial coatings can also be highly advantageous for various types of residential uses. For example, floor resurfacing and coating can create more durable, long-lasting floors in your home. If you have cracks in a concrete floor, such as in your basement or garage, or an uneven floor, industrial coatings can help. The cracks can be repaired, and the floor will be perfectly level once the process is complete. Your floor will look flawless, and a protective coating will ensure that the beautiful results last for decades to come.

What is the role of aesthetics when it comes to industrial coatings?

In some instances, what a surface looks like may be the last thing on your mind. More important to you might be the surface’s strength, durability, longevity, and resistance to damage caused by heat, cold, moisture, chemicals, or other harmful elements. However, this does not mean that there are not many instances where the aesthetics of your surface are important. Sometimes, what your surface looks like might be personally important because it is a part of your home or business that you and your family and employees are exposed to every day. While having a smooth, beautiful surface might not seem like it serves a purpose, it can make a lot of difference to the overall level of happiness and satisfaction experienced by those who come into contact with it daily. In other cases, the aesthetics of your surface might make an economic difference. Consumers prefer surfaces that are clean, smooth, shiny, pretty, and overall pleasing to look at and be around. For example, when using industrial coatings on something like a steel roller coaster, the final result should be as visually appealing as it is effective at protecting the structure against various types of damage. A shiny ride will look new and appealing to visitors, encouraging them to purchase tickets, and ultimately, earning the park a higher profit. This same way of thinking can be applied to any consumer-facing surface.
