Coatings form a crucial part of the industry sector and play a vital role in protecting materials against corrosion, wear, and other forms of damage. An important advantage of applying a coating is that it extends the lifespan of materials and substrates, thereby minimising downtime due to maintenance.
Another significant aspect of coatings is that they can contribute to improving (process) performance. Coatings can ensure that substrates and objects are more resistant to extreme temperatures, chemicals, moisture, and other environmental factors. Additionally, coatings can provide an antistatic (ESD) effect for applications where electrical conductivity is required or are specifically suitable for food and water storage and treatment.
There are various types of coatings used in the industrial sector, including polyurea, polyurethane, and epoxy-based coatings. Each type of coating has its unique properties and benefits. The choice depends on the specific application, environment, and situation.
Substrates can vary widely depending on the application. Prokol offers a comprehensive range of products, ensuring that a suitable solution can be provided for every substrate.
For instance, there are coatings/liners applied using the hotspray technique. With this method, a product is sprayed under high pressure and heat. The short reaction time of a few seconds allows the coating to completely adhere to a substrate. Special shapes and complex details can thus be seamlessly and effortlessly finished with this method.
