SPECIAL COATINGS

Intuminescent coatings

The peculiarity of the intumescent coating is to produce a protective foam on the surface of the product at high temperatures in order to protect it from the action of a fire. The foam will give the appropriate resistance to the spread of combustion to allow the evacuation and intervention of the fire team.

The cycle generally applied unless prescribed by the customer is the following:

  • hydro-washing;
  • SA 2.5 sandblasting;
  • dedusting;
  • application of a layer of primer;
  • application of the intumescent paint;
  • application of top coat.

Vinylester coatings (glass flake)

Vinylester resins have good resistance to corrosion, water absorption and abrasion, so they are indicated on all occasions when the protection of the substrate must provide for these requirements.

The application of the product includes:

  • preliminary check of the substrate to eliminate mechanical imperfections in accordance with ISO 8501-3;
  • hydro-washing;
  • SA 2.5 sandblasting;
  • dedusting;
  • primer application;
  • application of at least 2 coats of vinyl ester compound;
  • top coat application.

On some occasions it is possible to reinforce the thickness thus obtained through the application of mats interspersed with vinyl ester compounds.

Rubber coatings (rubber elastomer)

The butyl rubber coatings have the characteristic of being resistant to chemical and abrasive agents. The application scheme includes:
  • verification of the surface preparation of the substrate for any corrections in accordance with ISO 8501-3;
  • hydro-washing;
  • SA 2.5 sandblasting;
  • dedusting;
  • primer application;
  • application of two coats of adhesive;
  • application of the self-vulcanizing elastomer after cutting to size in the workshop;
  • elimination of air bubbles through the action of a roller;
  • sealing of the chamfered joints.

Coatings under insulation

This type of coating is applied to items under insulation to prevent condensation from affecting the item. The cycle is composed as follows:
  • application on pipes, ducts and boilers under insulation (-196° ÷ +650° C);
  • preliminary check of the substrate to eliminate mechanical imperfections in accordance with ISO 8501-3;
  • hydro-washing;
  • SA 2.5 sandblasting;
  • application of inorganic copolymerization up to the thickness required by the customer’s specifications.
