METAL SURFACE In every factory, the most gruelling and demanding task is to keep your metal surfaces strong and free from rusting. Here, we provide you with the right tips on how and what to paint to shield your factory.
08
Corrosion in metals
CORROSION IS A COSTLY ENEMY THAT CAUSES BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LOSSES EACH YEAR FOR COMPANIES.
Metals and alloys are used as construction and fabrication materials in engineering. If these metal structures are not properly maintained, they corrode slowly by the action of atmospheric gases, moisture and other chemicals, known as corrosion. It has been roughly assessed that the amount of iron wasted due to corrosion is one fourth of the world's production.
09
Reduce the rate of corrosion and increase the life of metal structures.
Corrosion is a costly enemy that causes billions of dollars in losses each year for companies. The direct loss due to corrosion in India amounts to hundreds of crores per annum while controlling corrosion is another hundreds of crores. Better corrosion control hence is the need of the hour. Painting the surface with the right system is one of the most common and easiest solutions to this grave problem.
10
Rust Protection Chemical Systems While corrosion is caused by multiple reasons, presence of moisture and chemical ions significantly increase the speed of corrosion. All paint systems strive to control these corrosion inducing elements from reaching the metal, thereby reducing the rate of corrosion and increasing the life of metal structures. Among the various corrosion protection mechanisms available, the best one is to create a strong, adherent and impervious layer around the metal structure so that these corrosion inducing elements don’t get an adequate chance to reach the metal surface.
11
Painting the surface with the right system is one of the most common and easiest solutions for this problem.

even better rust protection against commonly available yellow primers based on Zinc Chromate.
SALT SPRAY TEST: Salt Spray Test is a popular lab test used to determine the rust protection strength of primers and paints. It is an accelerated corrosion test by spraying salt solution continuously on a metal plate painted with the primer or paint. The number of hours taken by this metal plate to rust is noted and the corrosion strength of various systems are thus compared. The system which withstands longer hours in this test are considered superior to the systems which start rusting earlier.

RIGHT PAINTING PROCESS FRESH PAINTING Metal surfaces can be extremely challenging to deal with due to the problem of rusting and corrosion. These simple steps below explain how to prepare and paint your factory's metal structures.
1
SURFACE PREPARATION
2
Once the surface is cleaned, apply 1 coat of Asian Paints metal primer.
Sand your metal surfaces to remove the old paint, grease and rust.
4
PRIMING Now apply Asian Paints metal primer once again to help proper adhesion of the paint to the surface.

5
TOP COAT Apply 2 coats of the Asian Paints Enamel or Epoxy of your choice to give your metal surface it's final look.
3
SMOOTHENING To further smoothen the metal surface, apply Asian Paints Knifing Paste filler.
13
Metal left untreated means rust take precautionary measures to battle its corrosion
REPAINTING Repainting is, perhaps, one of the most misunderstood painting processes. Simply applying a fresh coat of paint on top of your damaged one will not ensure a durable finish. If you directly apply the enamel to the old coat of paint,without first evening the surface or applying a primer, there will be lack of uniformity in its coverage and adhesion to the metal structure as well as no rust protection. For replaying to be an effective process, the use of primer is critical.

Today various rust protection systems exist, varying in their degree of rust protection based on the chemistry of their formulations.
