Architectural and Commercial Fireproofing
Fires resulted in more than $12 billion in property damage in the year 2020 alone. Factor in loss of revenue and business operations, and the financial impact is staggering. Prevention is imperative, and professional fireproofing products include flooring to enhance fire containment, coatings which resist flames and heat deterioration and a variety of primers and paints which offer corrosion and abrasion resistance along withattractive finishes.
Bonding Primers
Consider bonding primers as the middle man which is specially formulated to stick, and stick well, to two surfaces. With hundreds of products on the market and several from Carboline, it’s essential to know precisely which one works between the two surfaces you have – metal and water, steel and industrial paint, masonry and something else. The best choice can make all the difference in long-lasting layers.
Coatings Under Insulation
The challenge here is to apply the proper coating between pipe, tank or another thing and insulation at the outset. It can be tricky or downright impossible to see or know deterioration is occurring until a major issue erupts. Corrosion and unwelcome moisture penetration can be held in check with the best Carboline coating for your situation.
Direct to Metal Finishes
As the title suggests, these relatively recently developed coatings eliminate the need for primer. Carboline’s Carbotherm 3300 is a ceramic blend insulative composite coating ideally used for a protective heat barrier. It’s often used to protect people from hot surfaces and minimize pipe sweating.
High Temperature Coatings
If silicate zinc rich technology is above your pay grade, then simply know this: Carboline’s high temp coatings provide corrosion protection while permitting welding operations during prefabrication. These products are especially appealing for steel in marine and other tough, industrial environments.
Industrial Fireproofing
Materials like pipes, ductwork and structural steel can experience temperature variations in industrial settings between -40°F and 175°F. Carboline offers hard fireproofing products which protect steel, meet VOC regulations and display high performance longevity.
Insulative Coatings
Often used to protect workers from hot surfaces, insulative coatings also provide anti-condensation properties and are approved for use in USDA facilities. There are different ways to apply these composite coatings, and the Paintworks team can advise which is best for your application.
Pipeline Coatings
This coal tar epoxy product was developed for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is ideal for protecting steel and concrete in harsh industrial scenarios. Several tools can be used for the best heavy application with a final smooth finish. One version is especially well-suited for water tanks.
Potable Water Linings
These versatile products can be applied directly on metal as a corrosion-resistant primer, and also used over itself and other primers. It looks good enough for a finish coat, and embodies excellent resistance to water, wastewater and salt water.
Pre-Construction Primers
Best applied via spray method, at which Paintworks excels, this line of primers provides corrosion protection on structural steel and architectural ferrous metal. Some versions are hard and abrasion-resistant, while weldable.
Resinous Flooring
While not a hot topic at cocktail parties, this line of polyurethane coatings offers an outstanding topcoat for resistance to moisture vapor transmission, thermal shock, chemical attack and/or growth and spread of bacteria. It can be covered with tile, vinyl and other flooring options.
Steel Decks
Whether your steel deck is being used to support concrete or as an insulating membrane of a roof, Carboline’s coating products can provide a non-skid finish and inhibit corrosion. It contains quick drying properties and offers impact and abrasion resistance.
Steel Primers
Here is yet another fast-drying product for commercial and industrial applications on architectural ferrous metal and exposed structural steel. It can be finished with a topcoat or two of conventional alkyds or acrylics in almost any color under the sun for the appearance of pretty. Who says industrial steel must be boring titanium gray or dull espresso brown?
Surface Tolerant Coatings
Epoxy or epoxy resins are known for strength and used in the manufacture of cars, airplanes and bicycles. They are especially valued in industrial and marine sites for heavy duty coating resistant to abrasion and water penetration. Many can be applied as a primer, intermediate coat, liner or even a finishing layer.
Tank Linings
Protecting steel and concrete from water and moisture penetration is critical for tanks holding any kind of liquid. These products have been developed on the heels of extensive research into the best application, adhesion, stability and durability properties.
Ultra-Weatherable Finishes
The highest temperature recorded in New York City was 108°F (in 1926) and the lowest so far is -52°F (twice, in 1934 and 1979). With this kind of fluctuation, exterior coatings which withstand a variance of 106 degrees are essential. Carboline presents several products with incredible aesthetic qualities like high gloss, color retention or a clear satin finish. Like aPatagonia Torrentshell 3L, one of the very best raincoats, a building can look great while withstanding some Big Apple weather events.
