Industries We Protect
Original Equipment Manufactures & General Fabrication
Painting general fabricated metalworks involves applying protective coatings to metal structures, components, or products created through processes like welding, cutting, and bending. These can include machinery parts, equipment, architectural features, and decorative items.
The process begins with surface preparation, such as cleaning, degreasing, and sanding, to ensure proper paint adhesion. Primers or rust inhibitors may be applied to prevent corrosion.
Coatings are chosen based on use, exposure, and desired appearance, including options like solvent-based or water-based paints, epoxy coatings, polyurethanes, or powder coatings. These coatings provide durability, corrosion resistance, and decorative finishes.
Painting not only improves appearance but also protects against corrosion and abrasion, extending the lifespan and functionality of metalworks. Proper preparation and application are essential for a high-quality finish.

Sporting, Playgrounds & Equipment
By choosing specialized playground paints, you ensure the safety, durability, and attractiveness of your outdoor recreational areas.
Painting playgrounds and equipment involves applying specialized coatings to outdoor play structures like slides, swings, and climbing frames. These coatings not only enhance visual appeal but also protect against weathering, rust, and corrosion.
Durable coatings are formulated to withstand UV radiation, moisture, and temperature changes. They are designed to adhere well to metal, wood, plastic, and other materials commonly found in playground equipment. Safety is also a key consideration, with options including anti-slip agents to improve grip on climbing surfaces.
The process begins with thorough surface preparation, which is essential to ensure proper paint adhesion and longevity. This includes cleaning surfaces, removing rust or old paint, and applying appropriate primers or sealers. Once prepared, the playground equipment is coated with durable paint specifically formulated for outdoor use, providing a long-lasting, protective finish.
Petrochemical Industry
The petrochemical industry produces and refines chemicals from petroleum and natural gas, forming the basis for products like plastics, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, and solvents. Key processes include refining crude oil to obtain chemicals such as ethylene, propylene, and benzene, which are then processed into various derivatives. The industry also covers fuels like diesel, unleaded, ULP, sulfuric acid, and avgas.
While vital to modern manufacturing and infrastructure, the sector faces challenges related to environmental sustainability and fossil fuel dependency.

Mining & Material Handling
The mining industry involves the extraction of valuable minerals, ores, and other geological materials from the Earth's crust. These resources are essential for a wide range of purposes, from construction and manufacturing to energy production and technology.
Mining operations can vary widely depending on the type of resource being extracted, ranging from surface mining, which involves removing layers of soil and rock to access shallow deposits, to underground mining, which involves tunneling into the Earth to reach deeper deposits.
The industry also encompasses processes like refining and processing to extract the desired minerals from the raw materials. While mining provides essential materials for modern life, it also raises concerns about environmental impact, safety, and sustainability, prompting efforts to develop more responsible mining practices.
Marine
The marine industry encompasses a diverse range of activities related to the use of the oceans and waterways for commerce, transportation, recreation, and resource extraction. This industry includes sectors such as shipping and maritime transportation, shipbuilding, offshore oil and gas exploration and production, fisheries, marine tourism, and marine renewable energy.
Shipping and maritime transportation involve the movement of goods and passengers by sea, utilizing various types of vessels ranging from cargo ships to ferries and cruise liners. Shipbuilding involves the construction and repair of these vessels, often using advanced engineering and technology.
Marine tourism encompasses activities such as recreational boating, cruises, diving, and wildlife watching, while marine renewable energy focuses on harnessing the power of the ocean's waves, tides, and currents to generate electricity.
Overall, the marine industry plays a vital role in global trade, transportation, energy production, and food supply, but it also faces challenges related to environmental sustainability, safety, and regulatory compliance.

Heavy Equipment Refurbishment & Transport
Heavy equipment refurbishment and transport involves the restoration, maintenance, and transportation of large industrial machinery and vehicles used in construction, mining, agriculture, and other industries.
Refurbishment typically includes repairing, repainting, rebuilding, and upgrading heavy equipment to extend its lifespan and improve performance.
Transportation services involve moving heavy equipment from one location to another, whether it's within a job site, between job sites, or over long distances. This can include transporting equipment via trucks, trailers, or specialized heavy-haul equipment.
Architectural Finish
Architectural paint finishes refer to the decorative coatings applied to surfaces within buildings to enhance their appearance and protect them from wear and tear. These finishes come in various types, including flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss, each offering different levels of sheen and durability.
Flat finishes have low reflectivity and are commonly used on interior walls and ceilings to hide imperfections and create a matte appearance. Eggshell finishes have a slight sheen and are more durable than flat finishes, suitable for areas that require easy cleaning, such as living rooms and bedrooms.
Satin finishes have a soft sheen and are often used in high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens due to their durability and ease of cleaning. Semi-gloss finishes have a higher sheen and are ideal for areas prone to moisture and splatters, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Gloss finishes have the highest sheen and provide a shiny, reflective surface. They are commonly used on trim, doors, and furniture to create a polished look. Architectural paint finishes not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space but also contribute to its overall functionality and longevity.
