Grit Blasting
Abrasive blasting is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface, or remove surface contaminants. Surface preparation is integral to achieving a quality long lasting paint treatment.
Shop Priming
Suitable for interior or built in items where minimal corrosion protection is required.
Blast and Prime
Suitable for interior or built in items where moderate corrosion protection is required.
Protective Paint under coatings
Suitable for exterior or built in items where comprehensive corrosion protection is required.
For maximum corrosion protection with paint under coatings, CSM recommends Inorganic Zinc Silicate Primers.
Inorganic zinc silicates are coatings comprising metallic zinc held in a glassy silicate matrix. The zinc metal provides galvanic corrosion protection to the mild steel substrate, whilst the porosity of the coating provides voids that contribute to ongoing protection to the mild steel.
Top Coat Finished Paint systems
A finished paint system with no further treatment or coating required. Consideration should be given to transporting, handling and installation
Galvanising
Suitable for exterior or built in items where comprehensive corrosion protection is required.
Hot dip galvanising (HDG) is the total immersion of steel into a bath of molten zinc resulting in a durable, abrasion resistant coating of metallic zinc and zinc-iron alloy layers bonded metallurgically to the steel base and completely covering the work piece. This provides a unique combination of properties and advantages.
- It forms a coating of corrosion-resistant zinc which prevents corrosive substances from reaching the more delicate part of the metal
- The zinc serves as a sacrificial anode so that even if the coating is scratched, the exposed steel will still be protected by the remaining zinc.
