Paint is the homogenous mixture of resins, pigments, solvents and additives which when applied on the surface spreads into a film to obliterate or hide the surface. It also forms the barrier between the atmosphere and the surface. >>More

| Our country losses assets worth Rs. 5000 crore per year due to corrosion. It is said that almost 10% of the total steal production in the countries goes in to replacement instead of creating new assets. >>More |

Most of the Primers are therefore designed to behave electrochemically at the
surface by providing a passive layer and cathodic protection by sacrificing
itself in performance to iron any obstructions in the form of rust, grease or
oil paints >>More |

Blast Cleaning is the ideal surface preparation method to achieve an ideal surface for painting.
In Blast cleaning an abrasive is directed at highly velocity against the surface. The abrasive are generally chilled iron steel shots/grits or coarse sand. >>More

As in steel the concrete and masonry surface also need to be protected, these
surfaces are porous and therefore absorb moisture and atmospheric impurities,
which corrode the steel reinforcement. Concrete and masonry surface also
developed Fungi and Algae. >>More |

The durability or life of paint also depends on the ingredients of the paints.
Most important ingredient in the finish coat is the base resin used. The choice
of resin depends on the environment in which it has to perform and the economics. >>More |

This is the corrosion inhibitive coat applied to restrict corrosion at steel
surface. The concrete surface does not need such primers. Instead a clear coat
can be applied to seal the pores to make it non-absorbent. The rust inhibitive
primers contain various anticorrosive pigments like Red Lead. >>More |
