Protective Coatings
Structural Steel Corrosion Coating
Exposed structural steel armored with high-build polyurea to stop corrosion in a harsh outdoor environment.
The Challenge
Structural steel exposed to weather and de-icing chemicals was corroding, threatening the service life of the structure.
Our Solution
We abrasive-blasted the steel to a clean profile, applied a zinc-rich primer, then a high-build polyurea coating with a UV-stable aliphatic topcoat for long-term corrosion protection.
