Problem: Corrosion Of The Steel Stemmer Crusher and Auger The wine-making process requires a variety of equipment made of steel that is exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Over time, this exposure leads to corrosion, damaging the equipment and reducing its working life. Application: Full Coating System – Prep, Prime and Polyurea The steel is first prepared with an abrasive blast to a near white blast per SSPC-SP 10 to remove any existing corrosion and contaminants and to obtain a 1.5 mil to 3 mil (38 to 70 μ) angular anchor pattern. Once the steel is properly prepared, FCP primer, a tw ..read more

Water is a formidable adversary to industrial structures. When infiltrating from vulnerable points like roofs or other exposed sections into the interiors of these buildings, it can wreak havoc on the structural integrity and pose significant risks to operations and personnel. Consequently, waterproofing emerges as an indispensable step in designing, constructing, and maintaining industrial facilities. Waterproofing is a specialised technique designed to bar water from entering the interiors of industrial structures. This protective measure can be implemented both internally and externally.

EPS Hard Coatings; Polyurea is a type of hard coating that has gained popularity in recent years due to its numerous benefits compared to traditional hardcoat coatings systems such as epoxy, rubber-latex, and GRP (glass reinforced plastic). Here are some five benefits of using polyurea as a hard-coating for EPS (expanded polystyrene): Quick curing High strength and durability Excellent adhesion Versatility Resistance to water Quick curing One of the main advantages of polyurea is its fast curing time. It can cure in as little as 5 seconds, making it ideal for use in fast-paced environments w ..read more

La Gazette de Thiers et d’Ambert, a popular Newspaper in France, recently broadcasted an article regarding The BSM Cuves company in Maringues transforming old oil tanks into water tanks. The oil tanks in question are already installed at resident properties in France, as this was the primary method of heating homes, with 3.5 million households still using oil to heat their homes in France. As households across France start to heat their homes in more efficient and cost-effective ways, the oil tanks become redundant, and to comply with French law, these tanks need to be filled with concrete ..read more
