Various metal structures and metal products are one of the most frequent materials used in construction and in various industries.
Their frequent use is primarily due to the large number of indisputable advantages. They have a relatively low weight, compared with products from reinforced concrete, are easily mounted, safe and durable.
However, climatic conditions may adversely affect the durability of metal structures. The most common threat for such products is corrosion, as a result of which the metal is exposed to aging much faster. One of the most common methods of protection of metal structures is painting of metal structures. However, this process is not as simple as it seems and requires consistent implementation of several stages and requirements.
The first thing the product must be carefully examined for the presence of pollution and drawing up a further action plan. It is necessary to get rid of traces of fat, soot, oil and so on. Also, if there are traces of old paint on the surface, it must be removed. If the surface was affected by rust, it is necessary to carefully and carefully consider, without damaging the product itself, after which it is necessary to treat a special anti-corrosion agent.
Cleaning can be carried out both manually and with special devices and brushes. Most often, only those places where the exfoliation is observed, the bloating of old layers of paint, and so on. If such events do not conduct, then all the rest of the work can be wasted, since the swelling most often has corrosion. For manual stripping, the sandpaper skar is perfect. Paint is best lighted on aligned and well dried surfaces. Before applying paints, the metal surface must be coated with a primer and an anti-corrosion agent. With the help of primer, the grinding of paint with metal and alignment of the surface itself increases.
By working on painting of metal structures, it is worth remembering that the metal must have a normal temperature, since the cold product always has condensate.
