In-Shop Industrial Painting
Vulcan Painters has 70+ years of experience in in-shop industrial painting. We specialize in protective coatings and lead abatement painting services for tanks, pipes, fabricated parts, and other steel surfaces. Our in-shop industrial painting service adds a durable layer to your machinery, helping it resist wear and maintain a professional appearance.
Extreme temperatures, harsh conditions, chemicals, and moisture cause steel to corrode, fabrications to fail, pipes to rust, stop working, and drain resources.
Fabricated Parts Coating
This specialized coating service protects industrial components against abrasion, extreme temperatures, chemicals, and moisture, reducing maintenance costs and improving the efficiency of critical infrastructure. Our industrial application specialists offer solutions for the following fabricated components:
Structural Steel
Our painters combine cutting-edge technology with expert techniques to improve the performance and durability of structural steel beams, columns, and other weight-bearing components. This protects your steel structures from hazards like rust, corrosion, and mechanical stress.
Steel Plates, Tanks, and Pipes
Steel tanks, plates, and pipes are critical to the operations of various industries, including manufacturing, chemical processing, marine, and oil and gas.
As a structural steel painting contractor, we protect your infrastructure from moisture, extreme temperatures, physical wear, and chemicals, which can impact functionality and durability. Coated steel is also resistant to rust build-up and has an extended service life with reduced maintenance expenses during its life cycle.
Cast Iron and Castings
Industrial environments expose cast iron and other metal castings to rust, corrosion, wear, and material degradation.
Our restorative and protective coatings safeguard your assets against the elements while maintaining the casting's original quality and functionality.
Our refurbishment castings painting services are customized to your specific environment, from heavy-duty industrial components to specialized frameworks.
Specialized Components
Jigs, actuators, mechanical assemblies, and other specialized components require custom coatings to match their exact dimensions and unique contours.
Our coating applications are customized to every component's material composition and operational environments, providing maximum protection without compromising performance or structure.
Lead Abatement Services
Vulcan Painters, Inc. ensures an efficient surface preparation process without harming the environment or creating health issues. Here are some of the main aspects of our lead abatement painting services:
Lead Paint Removal
Our technicians account for the type of surface and level of contamination before deciding on the following lead paint removal methods:
- Enclosed abrasive blasting: Our HEPA-filtered systems allow us to remove lead-based paint in enclosed environments, providing a clean surface without spreading dust beyond the containment area. Abrasive blasting works for various projects, including heavy-duty component restoration and refurbishing structural steel beams.
- Chemical stripping: Our contractors dissolve lead-based paint in chemical agents, minimizing dust and damage to the underlying surface. This method is ideal for components with complex shapes and hard-to-reach crevices.
- Thermal removal: This controlled heat application loosens lead paint from the underlying surface before the hazardous particles are removed by mechanical techniques and additional cleaning.
Compliance with Safety Standards
We ensure each and every job follows local, state, and federal regulations on employee safety and the responsible handling of lead waste.
Our process adheres to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lead abatement standards, protecting our clients from health and safety issues and other non-compliance liability issues.
Our Shop Painting Services
Our factory painting services protect critical assets in different industrial environments. Here are some of the high-performance coatings available at Vulcan Painters:
Zinc-Rich Coatings
Zinc particles form a physical barrier and oxidize before the underlying layer, which protects against harsh elements.
We install zinc coatings on pipelines, structural steel, storage tanks, marine structures, and other heavy-duty applications at risk to salt, chemicals, and moisture.
Polyurethanes
This unique combination of polymers can help strengthen the coating and make for an appealing finish.
Polyurethanes protect assets from harsh corrosive conditions. This makes them suitable for demanding applications where both durability and aesthetics are important.
Epoxies
Epoxies offer superior moisture, thermal, and chemical resistance, protecting pipelines and structural steel components from corrosion, rust, and other degradation.
This coating is perfect for pipelines, storage tanks, industrial flooring, marine and offshore structures, and machinery routinely exposed to heavy usage and harsh chemicals.
Vinyl Esters
Vinyl esters offer superior chemical resistance against corrosive forces like alkalis, acids, and solvents. Because of superior heat tolerance, vinyl esters are able to withstand high temperatures, even without altering the structure.
This coating works for storage tanks, chemical plants, pipelines, wastewater treatment facilities, and other projects requiring chemical and thermal stability.
Novolacs
Novolac coatings exhibit a dense, cross-link structure to improve chemical resistance. They are resistant to high temperatures that can cause other coatings to peel or crack.
Heat-Resistant Silicones
Unlike regular coatings that can fail under extreme temperatures, heat-resistant silicones expand and contract with temperature changes, keeping their structure. Such flexibility protects exhausts, turbines, pipes, tanks, and other components subject to rapid changes in temperature.
These silicones also contain insulating properties to control heat loss and improve energy efficiency. Additionally, heat-resistant silicones require fewer touch-ups and reapplications, which helps reduce costs and maintenance needs.
Fireproofing
Fireproof coatings contain the spread of flames to steel surfaces and critical structures, protecting people and property.
Our proven application techniques and strict quality control measures ensure your assets are continually protected.
This industrial coating application is necessary for oil and gas facilities, chemical processing industries, power plants, and other structures at greater risk of fires.
Universal Primers
This high-quality primer creates a bonding surface for topcoats, reducing the risk of cracking and premature failures.
Polyaspartic and Fluoropolymers
These coatings deliver superior weather resistance, maintaining vibrancy and structure.
Polyaspartics and fluoropolymers protect buildings and outdoor structures from UV exposure without fading or chipping.
