In steel restoration, the need for efficient and cost-effective solutions is crucial. Traditional methods often prove to be both costly and time-consuming. This blog post explores how Si-COAT® CM 579®—an anti-corrosion silicone coating—from Orion Supply Company emerges as a transformative solution, offering unparalleled benefits in steel restoration with a superior outcome.
Often, layers of paint are added to steel structures, especially bridges, to increase the structure’s aesthetic appeal. Inadvertently, this hinders the proper protection of the steel. Water infiltration beneath the paint leads to the corrosion of beams, even when the damage isn’t immediately visible. Thus, every steel restoration project’s primary objective remains to extend the structure’s life for decades to come, tackling the issues posed by years of quick fixes and surface-level upgrades. But here’s the problem. The traditional method of restoring these structures to their former glory includes extensive sandblasting, followed by layers upon layers of new paint. This may provide a short-term solution, but it simply prolongs the inevitable. The very layers of paint applied to protect the surface will cause the same problems they were brought in to solve.
Enter Si-COAT® CM 579®: the cost-effective alternative.
Si-COAT® CM 579® stands out as a game-changing alternative to the traditional methods. The one-coat application eliminates the need for time-consuming abrasive blasting and significantly reduces labour costs. This efficiency allows for a swift and effective restoration process without sacrificing the desired outcome of a renewed lifespan for the structure.
