Surface Treatment

Protect your steel investment with professional finishing services. From hot-dip galvanizing for decades of protection to architectural coatings for visual appeal. Systems specified per ISO 12944 corrosion categories C1 through CX.

Our Capabilities

What we can do for your project

Hot-Dip Galvanizing

Immersion in molten zinc at 450 degrees C creates a metallurgically bonded coating of 45-200 microns DFT depending on steel thickness. Provides 50+ year maintenance-free protection in ISO 12944 categories up to C4 without additional coatings.

Powder Coating

Electrostatically applied thermoset powder cured at 180-200 degrees C delivering 60-120 microns DFT. Chip-resistant, UV-stable finish in any RAL color. Ideal for architectural steelwork, guard rails, and exposed applications in ISO 12944 categories C2-C3.

Wet Spray Painting

Multi-coat industrial paint systems achieving 200-500 microns total DFT for demanding environments. Zinc-rich primers, epoxy intermediate coats, and polyurethane topcoats specified per ISO 12944 for categories C4, C5, and CX offshore exposure.

Zinc Plating

Electroplated zinc deposition of 5-25 microns on smaller components and fasteners. Available with clear, yellow, or black chromate passivation for ISO 12944 category C1-C2 indoor environments and light-duty exterior use.

Shot Blasting

Abrasive blast surface preparation to Sa 2.5 (near-white) or Sa 3 (white metal) per ISO 8501-1. Achieves anchor profile of 40-100 microns essential for optimal primer adhesion. Removes mill scale, rust, and old coatings.

Duplex Systems

Combined hot-dip galvanizing plus powder or wet paint topcoat delivering synergistic protection exceeding 1.5x the sum of individual system lifetimes. Specified for ISO 12944 categories C5 and CX where both maximum durability and color coding are required.

Quality Testing

Comprehensive coating quality assurance including dry film thickness measurement per ISO 19840, cross-cut and pull-off adhesion testing per ISO 16276, holiday/pinhole detection, and systematic visual inspection per ISO 12944-8. All results documented in inspection reports.

How It Works
