What types of paints or coatings are used for lines and marking?

Common coatings include epoxy, polyurethane, traffic marking paint and reflective additives

How is the surface of structural steel prepared for painting?

Surface preparation methods such as abrasive blasting, power tool cleaning, or chemical treatments.

What are the main standards for line striping?

Discussion of standards like SSPC, NACE, or ISO specifications for surface preparation and coating quality.

Can lines be painted in extreme weather conditions?

Not really, there are a lot of limitations and guidelines for painting in cold, hot, or humid environments.

How do I select the right coating system for my project?

This all depends. The environment, exposure, project specifications, and desired lifespan all play a part in the decision making process.

Best coatings

Some of the best coatings for safety marking 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.

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

04 Complete Coating Systems

1. To achieve an impervious membrane which inhibits corrosion. 2. To protect the steel against impact or abrasion. 3. To give the structure a pleasing appearance.

05 Measurement

• Wet Film Thickness (WFT) is measured with a step gauge (non-electronic device) used by the painters during coating application to achieve a desired dry thickness. • Dry Film Thickness (DFT) is measured when the coating is dry (electronic device) to verify that the specified thickness was achieved.
