Protective Coating
3E-SERVICES have the expertise in protective coatings such as epoxy coatings, polyurethane (PU) coatings, vinyl coatings, polyester coatings and widely used technologies.
Where are Protective Coatings used?
- Protective coatings for exposed concrete surface of thermal power plants, hydro power plant, wind power mill, infrastructure like bridge structure, metro structure, airport buildings etc.., is highly necessary to protect it from industrial effluents, carbon dioxide produced from industry or from vehicle emission, harsh environments, marine/coastal environments or for concrete surfaces subjected to any kind of harmful attack.
- Enveloping the entire structure against ingress of moisture which may cause corrosion of steel reinforcement embedded in concrete thus increasing life of structure
- Durability of even good quality concrete can suffer due to persistent chemical attacks, chloride diffusion due to exposure to coastal/marine weather, abrasion, freezing & thawing etc., if left unprotected.
- Relevance of protective coatings is key in such an environment. These coatings pose as shields between the concrete surface and the surrounding environment and protect concrete from harmful effects.
What are Protective Coatings made of?
- Protective coatings are usually made of resins, pigments and solvents. There are solventless protective coatings as well. It is the resin component that provides protection while pigments impart colours. Protective properties of coatings are sometimes further modified by adding suitable fillers depending on requirements.
Where are Protective Coatings deployed?
- Protective coatings are quite useful for varieties of structures such as bridge decks, abutments, heavy-duty industrial floors or industrial concrete surfaces subjected to chemical attacks or harsh environment, water & wastewater tanks, marine structures, manholes, masonry work, dams, retaining walls, piles and any other structure likely to come in contact with adverse environmental or climatic conditions.
