Why We Choose Si-COAT® 579 CM™ for Corrosion Protection
At Premier Coating Solutions, we use Si-COAT® 579 CM™ due to its efficiency and minimal surface preparation needs. Unlike traditional methods that require abrasive blasting, this coating allows us to skip extensive surface profiling, significantly speeding up the application process and reducing labor costs. Si-COAT® 579 CM™ provides superior corrosion resistance, effectively stopping rust in its tracks and ensuring long-lasting protection for your tanks. Using this innovative Si-COAT® CM™ Series, we help clients lower maintenance costs and extend the lifespan of their infrastructure.
High-Pressure Water Cleaning for Optimal Surface Preparation
For surface preparation, we utilize high-pressure water cleaning with a minimum of 5,000 psi and rotating nozzles. This method efficiently removes loose paint, rust, and contaminants, leaving behind intact coatings and a clean substrate. Our team meticulously cleans the surface of salts, grease, and other debris, ensuring the ideal foundation for the coating to adhere. Afterward, compressed air is used to ensure the surface is thoroughly clean and dry, preparing it for the next steps.
Applying Si-COAT® 579 for Maximum Durability
During the coating application phase, we apply a full coat of Si-COAT® 579 uniformly across the tank, achieving a dry film thickness (dft) of 6-7 mils. This initial layer provides a strong base for corrosion resistance. A second coat, applied at the same thickness, further enhances durability and coverage, delivering a smooth and resilient finish that extends the service life of the tank.
Key Benefits of Using Si-COAT® 579 CM™:
-
Reduced Surface Prep: Minimal preparation means faster application and reduced labor.
-
High Corrosion Resistance: Effectively stops rust and extends asset life.
-
Cost-Effective Solution: Lower maintenance costs over time with durable, long-lasting protection.
