Spicing up the Hangar Floor through Industrial Painting in Albuquerque

The wide expanse of New Mexico may provide opportunities for building private airfields or aviation facilities, as well as refurbishing abandoned ones that have not been converted for non-aviation purposes. Albuquerque has a number of privately-owned hangars, foremost being the one maintained by retired IndyCar driver Bobby Unser. If you operate your own small airfield with a hangar that deserves a makeover, professionals at industrial painting in Albuquerque like the team at JTC Inc. will find ways to make it work.

Concrete may be the most common foundation material for hangar floors, but a visual inspection of the entire surface will be needed to further assess the scope of the project. Old hangars may have flayed floor coatings and paint. Jackson says diamond grinders will smoothen the floor surface and prepare it for the painting.

Industrial Painting in Albuquerque: Moisture on Concrete Flooring

This is where the extra layer of protection provided by industrial commercial coatings for Albuqurque structures come in. In addition to their protective qualities, excellent industrial coatings can make a drab flooring look better, and require less maintenance.

One of the most commonly used types of coating for concrete is epoxy. However, as a porous material, concrete can store moisture, and moisture is a natural enemy of epoxy. Too much moisture can cause the epoxy coating to peel off easily. Before the pros apply this coating, therefore, they will need to test the moisture content of the concrete floor.

The Right Abuquerque Industrial Painting Material for Your Flooring

The Concrete Network, provides a good introduction regarding the need for industrial facilities to paint their floors for protection. So how do you choose the best Albuquerque industrial painting material for your needs? The tips below provide a good starting point.

There are several types of floor paint. Three of the most common are solvent-based paint, water-based paint, and 100 percent solids-based paint. Other considerations include the amount of time required for the material to set and cure, and whether you need a material that “breathes”. For some facility managers, a material’s toxicity is a huge deciding factor.

Others

Aside from these main ingredients, industrial paint also has other components that serve various functions. For instance, modifiers or thickeners will help make the paint easier to apply, while co-solvents serve to add to the hardness of the binder. There are even some additives that increase the paint’s splatter resistance.

The various industrial or commercial coatings from Albuquerque distributors will vary in quality and performance based on each of the factors mentioned above. To evaluate the paint’s quality for yourself before choosing, contact the manufacturer and ask for a list of its ingredients (or the additives at least).
