In protective coatings, success is determined long before the first litre of paint is mixed. While environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, dew point, and wind speed are important, they are only a small part of the quality equation. The real foundation of a successful coating project lies in a well-developed paint specification and Inspection Test Plan (ITP). The specification is the roadmap for the project. It defines the coating system, required standards, in
The Surat Basin is one of Australia's most productive industrial regions, home to coal seam gas operations, power generation, mining support services, agriculture, transport, fabrication, and heavy equipment maintenance. From Roma through to the Darling Downs, assets operate in an environment that is demanding on protective coating systems and unforgiving of shortcuts. The region's extensive coal seam gas infrastructure and steel well casings highlight the importance of long-
One issue we’ve come across time and time again is premature coating failure, and the main cause… surface preparation. It's not a glamorous topic. But if you manage assets that need to stay protected and in service, it's probably the most important thing to understand about industrial coatings. Poor performance is prevented by perfect preparation and industrial coating is no different. You typically don’t see a return on a paint job in the first few years. Its true value bec
