Powder Coating over Mild Steel
All mild steel items are shotblasted to SA2.5 ( ISO 8501 ) to remove all mill scale, rust, contaminants to give a clean, sound substrate for coating purposes. All mild steel parts receive a 2 part coat process from a Zinc Edge Primer and Architectural topcoat to achieve the
maximum life expectancy for Mild Steel works. Alternatively PLASCOAT can also be utilised over mild steel to achieve a high corrosion protection for harsh or extreme environments. All mild steel
projects are undertaken to achieve the class corrosion required and follows the powder specification for steelwork.

Powder Coating over Galvanised
All galvanised parts are cleaned down prior to coating to remove
any high points, drag, runs, sharp points or edges. Galv is then sweep blasted to create and etch for
the surface followed by degassing, acid etch prime and coating with an Architectural Polyester
Powder to agreed colour and finish. Zinc Edge primer is also used on certain galvanised projects
depending on the final location, shape, cut outs etc. all Galv projects are undertake to BS EN 13438 :2013
