Industrial Painting Contractors, unlike the usual painting contractors who mainly work on houses and some large buildings, work on a large scale by painting many different types of structures like factories, storage tanks, power plants, silos, and assembly plants. They use multiple methods in painting to ensure the best results. Unlike usual Painting Contractors, they must prepare surfaces and lay down many layers of paint toachieve the highest quality, normally with tools other than brushes or rollers.
Good contractors understand that preparation is very important for long lasting effects. Structures without previous paint are easier to paint because previous paint generally needs to be removed before starting the new layers. High pressure water jets are often used by industrial painting contractors to wash surfaces before applying paint. Industrial painting contractors also use abrasive preparation to clean surfaces of all rust and chemicals to leave a structure ready for paint. Any preparation method used is very important for an easy painting process with top notch results.
Often, these contractors will use a powder coating in the painting process. This process includes applying an electrostatic charge to dry paint before being applied to the surface of the structure and then involves adding heat to spread the coat over the entire surface. Coal coating is also used to apply paint to a metal structure. This method is much quicker than others because it is a continuous process. It does not cause harm to the environment and is more cost effective and energy efficient than most other methods.
Spray coating is used more commonly by, though it can be a bit of a messy process. Overspray can be controlled by applying the same electrostatic charge used in powder coating to the spray beforehand.
