SprayAppliedCoatings
Halo custom fits all our spray coatings to any new or existing containment area and matches the topography of the environment we are containing. We make pipe and pile protrusions or three-dimensional obstacles an easy task to coat around compared to traditional forms of sheet lining membranes. These specialty spray coatings can be applied to any clean and dry surface for excellent product adhesion to any substrate for maximum effectiveness.
Protective Coatings Features
Polyurethane coatings are seamless, non-stressedcoatings that protect the substrate from the effects of abrasion, weathering, corrosion and other deterioration. This polyurethane layer is made of carbamates — chemical compounds with thermosetting abilities — for elasticity and durability in various temperatures.
While polyurethane coatings are similar to other protective coatings, they have unique features for various applications in the challenging conditions our clients face. The features of our Polyurethane spray coating include the following:
- Flexibility: Polyurethane coatings remain flexible and can maintain their mechanical properties down to minus 50 degrees Celsius.
- UV resistance: These protective coatings are UV resistant and do not require ground cover.
- No volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Since spray-applied coatings do not contain VOCs, there is no chance of an explosion, so the product is safe to be around, and you do not have to shut down machinery.
- Conformability: Polyurethane spray coatings will conform to any shapeand hold its shape in cold temperatures.
- Adhesion: Polyurethane coatings can attach to virtually any prepared surface, making them useful for a wide variety of applications.
- Long-lasting performance: Our spray protective coatings have an outstanding life expectancy due to their durability and elasticity. The coating can be easily repaired if damaged.
- Corrosion resistance: Industrial floor and metal coatings are resistant to aggressively corrosive and acidic environments.
- Regulatory compliance: Our spray protective coatings comply with Alberta’s D55 standard and other provinces' rigorous regulations.
- Fast application: We spray the coating onto the base material, and no further curing processesare required. Our protective coatings have fast drying and set-up times.
- Color options: Our polyurethane coatings are available in a variety of colors.
- Fire resistant: ULC-668 surface burn rating passed and certified
Applications of Spray Protective Coatings
The qualities of our polyurethane coatings make it suitable for a variety of applications, including:
Oil Field
The oil & gas industry is a common application for thermal spray coatings. You can use these coatings in the following areas:
- Under compressor installations
- Tank farms
- Around wellheads & pump jacks
- Around pig senders/receivers
- Barrel docks
- Containment ponds
- Drainage ditches
- Sumps and trenches
Industrial/Commercial
Spray protective coatings have several commercial uses, such as an industrial floor coating. Uses include:
- Floors of buildings/warehouses
- Roofs
- Water treatment facilities
- Water storage facilities
- Wastewater treatment facilities
- Wash bays
- Elevator shafts
Concrete
Since spray-applied polyurethane coatings are durable and make the substrate corrosion-resistant and water proofs, they have extensive uses in the construction industry. Construction materials like concrete benefit from polyurethane coatings. Protective coatings on concrete supports:
- Make the concrete stronger and more durable
- Enhance resistance to physical damage like tool impact, operator wear and tear, equipment operation
- Decrease susceptibility to rust
- Resist Weather
Metal
Polyurethane coatings are commonly used on metal surfaces like tanks. These protective coatings enhance the appearance, performance and longevity of the metal substrate. Tank coatings allow the tank material to be more durable and resist weather and chemical attack to last longer and keep maintenance budgets lower. Utilize Halo's sandblasting services in conjunction with our protective metal coatings to provide maximum protection for all your steel substrates.
