Best coatings
Some of the best coatings for structural steel include:
- Epoxy: A widely used coating for industrial and marine applications
- Polyurethane: Often used as a topcoat over epoxy primers
- Zinc-rich: A coating that provides galvanic protection and corrodes to form a barrier between the steel and its surroundings. It's recommended for highly corrosive environments.
- PU: A coating that's sprayed on in multiple layers to enhance durability. It's often used for smaller components in machinery or equipment.
Application methods
Paints are typically applied to structural steel by brush, roller, conventional air spray, or airless spray. Airless spraying is the most common method for controlled shop conditions and or field application
Surface preparation
Before applying paint, the surface should be cleaned of loose mill scale, rust, dirt, and other foreign matter.
01 Preparation is key
The most important factor affecting the protective service life of a coating is the surface preparation prior to application of the coating. The best coating available will not give optimum service when applied over improperly cleaned surfaces. It is essential, therefore, that the coating is applied only to clean, sound, dry, and properly prepared surfaces.

SP-6 Commercial Blast Cleaning
SP-10 Near-White Metal Blast Cleaning
03 Caulking
Caulk is applied to all joints, seams, built-up sections, or open seams greater than 6 mils using a sealing material after application of the undercoat. we verify the application of this material does not create a condition where water can pond. Another critical step is the curing of caulk prior to application of the finish. coats
