Pre-treatment in surface prep
Studies show that pre-treatment before coating application is the single most decisive factor impacting lifetime (and thus cost-effectiveness). Poorly pre-treated surfaces with contamination and insufficient blast cleaning result in reduced coating adhesion, blister formation and ultimately corrosion under the coating.
Surface preparation
The success or failure of a paint system rides on the standard of the surface's preparation. The best paint or coating can fail on a poorly prepared surface. And the simplest and cheapest paint can perform better than expected on a well-prepared surface.
What should a good surface preparation provide?
- A clean substrate, free from impurities - Sufficient surface roughness to give a good anchor pattern for the coating - A surface that can be easily wetted by the selected paint - A substrate without sharp edges so that a uniform film thickness can be obtained all over
