The selection of the correct protective coating systems requires a number of considerations so as to ensure the most economical and technical solutions are taken into account. Some of these factors include:
Environmental protection
The environment has become the talk of every serious government nowadays. When choosing your protective coating systems, it is necessary to be keen on the conditions in which the structure, facility or installation is to operate. Some of the factors that may affect environmental corrositivity include:
- Chemical exposure
- Presence of UV radiation
- Humidity
- Temperature
- Mechanical damage
Type of protected surface
The design of protective coating systems involves a working with materials such as hot dipped galvanized steel, steel, spray-metallized steel, stainless steel or aluminum. Whichever the material you choose, your results will depend:
- Surface preparation
- Paint products used mostly the primer
- Total system thickness
The durability required for a paint system
This refers to the period that passes until maintenance is required for the first time after application. A three-time frame range to categorize durability is as follows:
- Low(L)- 2 to 5 years
- Medium(M)- 5 to 15 years
- High(H)- more than 15 years
Planning the paint application process
The various stages of project implementation determine how and when the paint system should be applied. Materials at their prefabrication stage need some considerations, when materials are being prefabricated both on and off and when building stages are complete.
Planning of the job is necessary so that preparation of the surface and the drying of paint products in relation to temperature and humidity are considered. Recoating intervals must also be taken into consideration.
