What Is the Difference Between Industrial and Residential Painting?

In comparison to industrial painting, residential painting typically emphasizes aesthetics and basic surface protection. Home paint shields walls from moisture and UV damage, but it doesn't have the same heavy-duty performance needed in industrial settings to withstand environmental stresses.

In other words, many residential paints simply wouldn’t work in an industrial setting. They lack the durability to withstand constant wear and tear and don’t offer the necessary level of protection against chemicals, heat, and moisture.

Industrial painting involves using paint specifically for tougher environments. In factories or warehouses, for example, the potential for corrosion or chemical spills means it’s vital to apply specific types of paint formulated with ingredients like advanced resins, epoxies, or polyurethane. When they dry, they form a protective coating that keeps surfaces clean and safe.

WHEN SHOULD YOU CONSIDER INDUSTRIAL PAINTING?

Industrial painting is the application of specialized coatings to protect and maintain structures and equipment in industrial settings. In these settings, we typically prioritize function over aesthetics, using heavy-duty paints and techniques to shield surfaces from harsh elements, corrosion, and wear.

You’ll need industrial painting if your facility has surfaces exposed to chemicals, extreme temperatures, or constant abrasion. It’s also a necessary provision for maintaining safety standards and keeping your industrial aspects functional and protected.

What Are Signs You Need Industrial Painting?

There are several key indicators that it’s time to consider industrial painting for your facility.

Here are a few common signs:

  • Visible wear and tear: Over time, exposure to sunlight and moisture can cause peeling, cracking, or fading paint. This impacts the appearance of your surfaces and can lead to corrosion or structural damage if left unchecked. If you notice fading or peeled layers, it may be time for a repainting.
  • Frequent cleaning without lasting results: A clear sign your surfaces need a fresh coat is grime buildup, despite frequent cleaning. Water stains that remain behind indicate that it’s time for a new coat. It’s crucial to address water buildup as soon as possible, as it can cause long-term fungal growth.
  • Rust or oxidation: Rust or oxidation on metal surfaces can be caused by humidity and water wearing down the paint. It's crucial to restore and repaint the surface to prevent further deterioration.
  • New construction or expansion: If you’ve recently expanded your facility, you’ll need industrial painting to comply with safety and regulatory standards.

Is Concrete Floor Painting Necessary?

In warehouses, manufacturing plants, or distribution centers, concrete floors are constantly exposed to heavy machinery, forklifts, and foot traffic, justifying floor painting as a necessary protective measure. In these settings, damage is a likely consequence of insufficient or incorrect coating.

Painting your floors also provides safety and organizational benefits. Anti-slip coatings in areas prone to moisture or oil spills can reduce the risk of slips and falls, and in large facilities, different colored coatings can designate zones for equipment storage, walkways, or hazardous areas.

A durable epoxy coating can address the small divots and chips that warehouse floors are prone to. Solid coating will extend the life of the floor and keep areas near loading docks in optimal condition.

WHAT SURFACES CAN YOU TREAT WITH INDUSTRIAL PAINT?

Our industrial paint can tackle a wide range of surfaces typically found in industrial environments. Steel, aluminum, and cast iron surfaces are prime candidates for industrial painting due to their susceptibility to rust and corrosion.

Here are some other common examples:

  • Concrete: Industrial facilities with concrete walls, floors, and ceilings need industrial paint to protect them from moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.
  • Wood: While less common, some industrial settings use treated wood structures or equipment (workbenches, platforms) that require industrial paint for weather resistance and durability.
  • Machinery and equipment: Protecting valuable machinery from wear, tear, and chemical damage requires a shield that our heavy-duty paints can provide.

HOW DOES INDUSTRIAL PAINTING AND COATING ENHANCE LONGEVITY?

Industrial painting and coating act as a barrier against corrosion. Steel exposed to air and moisture rusts, while chemicals can eat away concrete. Industrial paints create a tough, sealed layer that prevents these processes, preserving the underlying structure.

Harsh sunlight can also degrade surfaces over time, while extreme temperatures can cause cracking. Industrial paints are made to minimize weather-related wear and tear while also providing an abrasion-resistant layer that reduces scratches, nicks, and overall wear.

What Are Industrial Paint Coatings Made Of?

Industrial paint coatings are made from a combination of high-performance resins, binders, and additives that provide exceptional durability. Coatings typically contain epoxy, polyurethane, or acrylics based on the specific setting.

Epoxy resins, for example, offer excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and hardness when cured. Polyurethane polymers add flexibility and impact resistance, making them suitable for surfaces that endure mechanical wear or fluctuating temperatures.

These coatings can also be enhanced with additives like corrosion inhibitors and protective fillers, which work in tandem with the polymer matrix to form a tough, impermeable layer that withstands facility conditions.

HOW DO INDUSTRIAL PAINTERS SELECT THE RIGHT PAINT AND COATINGS?

Our industrial painters carefully consider several factors to ensure the chosen paint and coatings offer optimal performance.

Here’s what we consider in our selection process:

  • Surface material: Different paints adhere better to specific materials. We match the surface (wood, metal, wood) to choose a compatible coating that bonds effectively.
  • Desired finish: A glossy finish, for example, might be ideal for easy cleaning in a food processing plant, while a textured finish offers better slip resistance on a factory floor.
  • Regulations and safety: Some industries have specific regulations regarding paint properties. For example, a flame-retardant paint might be required in areas with high fire risk.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF SANDBLASTING?

Sandblasting is a technique that forcefully propels a stream of abrasive material at high pressure against a surface. It’s like using heavy-duty sandpaper to clean, smooth, or texture a surface.

Here’s what this technique accomplishes in industrial painting surface preparation:

  • Removes contaminants: Sandblasting blasts away dirt, rust, old paint, and other contaminants that can prevent new paint from properly adhering. This ensures a strong paint bond.
  • Creates texture: For some industrial applications, a smooth surface isn’t ideal. Sandblasting creates a textured finish that improves slip resistance and the adhesion of pipe coatings.
  • Profiles the surface: Sandblasting creates microscopic peaks and valleys, increasing the surface area. This “profile” allows paints to mechanically lock in, improving durability.
