High-Performance Coatings for Maximum Durability
When it comes to repainting light poles and other exterior structures, we understand the importance of durability and a flawless finish. At Paint Platoon USA, we use a wide range of anti-corrosive coatings, rust-inhibitive primers, and rust-converting metal primers to ensure your poles and structures remain protected from the elements.
We utilize both single-component and two-part multi-component coatings depending on the application. For rust-prone areas, we apply products like epoxy mastics and multi-component epoxy primers to create a strong, protective barrier. For aluminum poles, we typically use primers like zinc oxide, which are designed to adhere effectively to aluminum surfaces and prevent oxidation.
In addition to the primers, we apply industrial-grade high-performance finish coatings. These coatings are specifically designed for exterior applications and are made to withstand extreme weather conditions, exposure to salts, UV rays, and chemicals. Some of the finish coatings we use include:
Single-component urethane modified alkyd industrial enamels
DTM (Direct to Metal) acrylic industrial enamels
Two-part epoxies
Aliphatic polyurethanes
These coatings are applied by hand using brushes and rollers to avoid overspray, ensuring the surrounding environment, including vehicles and buildings, stays protected. Our skilled painters are experts at achieving smooth, even finishes with minimal brush or roller marks, ensuring the end result exceeds expectations.
Comprehensive Warranties for Peace of Mind
We stand behind the quality of our work and the coatings we use. Paint Platoon USA offers up to a 5 year warranty. This warranty gives our customers peace of mind, knowing that their investment in light pole painting is protected for years to come.
The Importance of Surface Preparation: Ensuring Longevity and Durability
Proper surface preparation is essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of any painting project, particularly when it comes to light pole painting. We follow strict guidelines for surface preparation, adhering to industry standards set by the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) and NACE.
Our surface preparation process includes the following steps:
SSPC SP-1: Solvent Cleaning – This involves the removal of oils, grease, dirt, and other contaminants using solvents such as denatured alcohol or xylene. This step ensures that the surface is clean and ready for painting, ensuring strong adhesion.
SSPC SP-2: Hand Tool Cleaning – This step involves the removal of loose rust, mill scale, and old paint using hand tools like scrapers, sanding, and wire brushing. It ensures that the surface is smooth and free of imperfections.
SSPC SP-3: Power Tool Cleaning – For surfaces that require more intensive cleaning, power tools are used to remove any remaining rust, scale, or paint, ensuring that the substrate is properly prepared for the next layer of coating.
These standards ensure that every project we complete adheres to the highest quality benchmarks, resulting in long-lasting, durable finishes.
