Coatings
K Blasting can accommodate various types of long-lasting protective coatings for different types of applications. The coatings we can provide are suitable for everyday garden furniture to Marine quay walling and bridges. With our in-house NACE inspector, we have the knowledge and skills to get the job done right.
K Blasting can apply a wide range of paints, such as zinc-rich primers and oxides to epoxy marine grade coatings.
Our range of Finished topcoats vary from enamels, single pack topcoats and two pack polyurethane topcoats.
We have the equipment to airless spray vast surface areas and super structures efficiently and productively to produce a high build coating to give long-lasting warranty.
Airless Spraying
Using our airless spraying equipment and knowledge, we have the capability of applying high-build protective coatings to large structures and surface areas. Airless spraying is an industry standard for producing a uniform finish with high protective coatings. By using this equipment we can accommodate painting applications for marine and highways specifications.
Typical applications for airless spray are:
- Bridge Painting
- Container & Skip Painting
- Intumescent Coatings for Fire Control
- Structural Steel
On-site Nace Coating Inspector
For many years, the NACE Coating Inspector Program has set the standard for inspections in the protective coatings industry and is the world’s most recognised coating inspector program. CIP is the first international certification program designed to improve the overall quality of inspections performed. We have invested heavily in the best possible test equipment to enable our in-house inspector to produce accurate, comprehensive paint and condition application reports.
Hot metal Zinc Spraying
Zinc Spraying is ideal for larger items that cannot fit into a galvanising tank. E.g. Oversized steel structures, such as bridges, long I beams, Steel Trawlers / Boats, Gates and Railings.
Zinc spraying can achieve to the same level of rust protection as galvanising, excellent for untreated steel; it is fast drying with good filling properties. Zinc spraying coupled with a correct paint system can give 20 years plus of maintenance free.
Hot metal zinc spray is heat resistant to 350ºC, spot-weld able, resistant to petrol, chemicals and weather influences.
Process of zinc spraying
Metal spraying is used to coat ferrous (steel) metals, with an anti-corrosion coat of zinc or aluminium. Surfaces are first blast cleaned, to remove all corrosion and give the correct profile before metal spaying. The zinc wire is passed through a zinc pistol with oxygen and propane to atomise the wire and spray it onto the item to be protected. This solidifies immediately leaving the perfect surface to stand up to all weathers.
