E-Coating vs. Powder Coating
Introduction Painting a finished product is vital to ensure its presentability and longevity. Due to new advances in surface finishing technologies, wet painting is no longer the only option to finalize a product. Many industries utilize surface coating over painting for various reasons. Benefits of Surface Coating Due to its efficient application, surface coating is […]
Winter Weather Precautions to Take in the Oil and Gas Industries
Winter is the time of year when cold weather hinders refinery operations, pipelines, and railways. The winter weather creates a number of obstacles for these things to do their job in delivering much-needed fuel to demanding markets. Winter is usually unrelenting with cold temperatures across much of the U.S., which increases demand for space heating […]
Pipe Surface preparation in tight/confined areas
Corrosion affects infrastructure and destroys equipment and utilities. Pipeline support brackets are areas commonly damaged by corrosion. Surface preparation is hard to achieve and it sometimes involves the use of cranes to lift the pipelines. Even if it doesn’t, the space created while raising the pipelines is typically quite small. When these jobs involve Class […]
What is feathering and how it affects spot repairs
By doing the feathering of the spot repair edges you minimize the flaking of the paint as well as ensure a smooth transition and adhesion of the paint among substrates.
