Factory Painting Requirements

Factory coating work is specified against operating conditions rather than appearance. The relevant questions are what the surface is exposed to, how long the coating has to last, and what it costs the business if the asset underneath fails.

For facilities in and around Green Point and the adjacent harbour precinct, coastal exposure dominates. Chloride-laden air puts structural steel and cladding into a high corrosivity category, which means zinc-rich or epoxy primer systems and shorter maintenance intervals than an inland facility would need.

Beyond corrosion, factory work usually carries requirements a decorative job never encounters: hygiene-rated finishes in food handling areas, chemical resistance in process zones, high-visibility safety demarcation, and coatings that tolerate wash-down regimes.

Correct Coating Systems for Factories

• Structural steel - zinc-rich or epoxy primer with a polyurethane topcoat, specified for the actual exposure category rather than a generic industrial rating
• Cladding and roof sheeting - UV-stable systems, with corroded fixings and laps addressed before coating
• Concrete floors - epoxy or polyurethane build systems selected for the traffic type, with anti-slip aggregate in wet zones
• Process and wash-down areas - chemical-resistant, non-porous systems that tolerate repeated cleaning
• Food handling zones - hygiene-rated, seamless finishes with no crevices for contamination
• Plant, pipework and tanks - systems matched to operating temperature and contents
• Safety demarcation - hard-wearing line marking and hazard identification built into the floor system

Minimising Downtime

Downtime is normally the largest real cost of a factory coating project, often exceeding the contract value. The programme should be built around that fact rather than around the painting.

In practice that means working in defined zones so production continues elsewhere, using fast-cure systems where the return-to-service interval matters more than the material cost, and scheduling the disruptive elements into shutdowns, weekends or night shifts. Full cure times must still be respected - a floor released to forklift traffic early gets damaged and has to be redone, which costs far more downtime than waiting would have.

Preparation is planned around the same constraint. Grinding and blasting generate dust and noise that cannot always coexist with production, so containment and sequencing get agreed with the facility manager before work starts rather than negotiated on site.
