Ideal painting process for steel fabrications

  Selecting  the most ideal painting system for structural steel fabrications becomes  critical when the steel fabrications and the machinery / equipment have to be installed in the most stringent working atmospheres such as coastal areas,highly humid area, nearly salty and saline atmosphere, areas with steam, water vapour, and chemical fumes, places with high operating temperature.

This process sequence is for painting and re-painting of ms and gi structures, fabrications,  pebs,  metal buildings, off-shore platforms construction, all rusted and non–rusted steel fabrications : solar power plants, hvac plants, ready mix plants factory trusses, support  structures, tank farms, chimneys, steam etc.

Painting process sequence
The exact sequence to be followed is : pre-clening, derusting and painting.

Pre-clening: Complete removal of oil & grease, surface rust must be ensured. This can be carried by chemical cleaning, solvent cleaning, sand blasting, sand papering, grinding, mechanical cleaning or any other means.

De-rusting: The Chemical de-rusting is easily accomplished by use of RUSTOGEL 1406 offered by Innovative for all  Corroded Mild Steel Fabrications and Structural Steel. These cleaners are based on phosphoric acid, solvent, wetting agents and foaming agents. Phosphoric acid is a rust preventive acid. The gel like chemical is quite useful for derusting and cleaning and maintenance of all heavy steel fabrications in vertical and horizontal positions.
