Metal is widely used in construction applications. To optimally protect metal structures against issues such as wear, heat, and corrosion, it’s wise to coat them. This not only extends the lifespan but also restores the appearance of your metal business objects.

For which industrial applications are metal coatings suitable?

Thanks to decades of experience, craftsmanship, and innovative research, metal coatings hold no secrets for us at lacquer factory Korthals. Our products are used for:

Offshore platforms and flood barriers. Offshore constructions are exposed to extreme weather conditions in open water. Our coatings protect business components against these conditions and provide resistance to corrosion from saltwater and various chemical processes. For use within offshore installations, we have unique coatings for signaling danger (temperature change paints and hydrogen fluoride color-changing paint) and for enhancement (heat-resistant coatings). These specials are widely used on ovens, boilers, pipelines, valves, pump housings, and heat exchangers;
Metal roller and overhead doors. Exterior doors of warehouse halls, production spaces, and industrial complexes are heavily used and subjected to various weather influences. Our coatings protect against discoloration and damage, ensuring that the chosen gloss remains intact for a long time;
Containers. During container loading and unloading, sea containers are subject to damage from rough handling. Our metal coatings protect against such damage and significantly extend the lifespan. The coatings are also suitable for enhancing containers used for housing and work purposes (e.g., student accommodations and office spaces).

What are the benefits of metal coatings?

Metal coatings provide protection against corrosion, weathering, and wear, extending the lifespan of metal surfaces. They also improve aesthetics by providing a uniform finish in terms of color and gloss. Additionally, some metal coatings may have specific additional properties, such as heat resistance.

Can metal coatings be used outdoors?

Yes, many metal coatings are specially developed for outdoor use (often offshore applications). It is important to choose a coating designed for the specific environmental conditions to which the metal will be exposed.

What pre-treatments are required for metal coatings?

Proper preparation is crucial for the adhesion and durability of the coating. The surface must be clean, dry, and free of rust, grease, or dirt. This can be achieved by sanding, blasting, degreasing, and using a primer before applying the coating. The requirements vary depending on the type of metal.

How long does a metal coating last?

The lifespan of a metal coating depends on various factors, including the quality of the coating, the surface preparation(s), exposure to the elements, and maintenance frequency. With the right application and maintenance, metal coatings can last for many years without significant degradation.
