What surface preparation is needed for steel?

Abrasive blast cleaning to the cleanliness and roughness grade stated in the specification, with soluble salts, dust and oil checked before the primer is applied within the allowed time window.

How is coating thickness verified?

Wet film readings are taken during application and calibrated dry film thickness gauge readings after cure, recorded per area against the specified minimum and maximum for each coat.

When should an existing system be recoated?

When inspection shows breakdown such as rust spotting, undercutting at edges or welds, or measured thickness below specification. Localised repair is carried out before general breakdown spreads.

Protective Coatings

Anti-Corrosion Coating Systems UAE

Multi-coat protective systems to ISO 12944 corrosivity classes.

Request site inspection

Anti-corrosion coating systems protect structural steel and plant equipment in the aggressive coastal and industrial environments of the UAE. Systems are specified to ISO 12944 — typically a zinc-rich primer, an epoxy intermediate and a UV-stable polyurethane or polysiloxane topcoat — with dry film thickness controlled at every coat.

Frequently asked

Anti-Corrosion Coatings — answered.

Common questions from UAE consultants, clients and contractors. Need something specific? Speak with our technical team.

Coastal and marine-influenced sites are usually assessed as a high corrosivity category, and inland industrial sites lower. The category is confirmed for the specific location and exposure before the system is selected.
