When looking for quality industrial coatings, it is not unusual to hear about urethane or polyurethane coatings. They are common when discussing flooring systems for the most intensive applications. Their chemical properties make them more resilient and easier to maintain than epoxy flooring, which itself is usually looked at as an upgrade from concrete floors.

Whenever you are planning to update the coatings of any commercial business or industrial facility, preparing the affected substrates is crucial. Appropriate preparation of a substrate ensures that you can maximize adhesion of the new coating. That, in turn, helps deliver a full and even coat that resists environmental hazards.

Like most other industries, the industrial coatings space has been influenced by the modern desire to be ecologically friendly. Designing, manufacturing, and promoting eco-friendly coatings is especially important as more information comes to light about the potential risks of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in coatings.

In any commercial structure, the roof is one of the most important contributors to energy efficiency. Solar radiation is absorbed or reflected by the roof, and its composition makes a big difference in what becomes of all that heat. That, in turn, influences the usage patterns of your HVAC system.

In business or industrial settings, parking garages and parking decks undergo some of the most strenuous abuse of any substrate. Parking structures age quickly, even when they are carefully used only as intended. Parking structures that are accessible to the public can face even more wear and tear. Fast or incautious driving can cause skid marks and fender benders, further eroding the quality of the parking deck.

Private and charter jets have seen plenty of activity throughout 2020. Travelers want to take trips with minimum human contact. Companies that provide on-demand air service are expanding and updating facilities. No matter whether you have a state of the art jet or a small hobby aircraft, however, the hangar where you keep your aircraft is one of your most important investments. During an aircraft's downtime, conditions inside the hangar determine a great deal about its longevity and maintenance.

Choice of flooring is an important one for an industrial facility. You need a floor that will stand up to traffic and any environmental hazards the workplace presents. Flooring failure can cost thousands of dollars and may leave your workforce and the public at risk.

Most of today’s coating products take the form of a two-coat solution with a primer and topcoat. Direct to metal coatings are becoming more popular and versatile, especially in the marine sector, but in most cases you will need to plan your project around priming your surfaces correctly.
