Organic preconstruction primers

• We apply all manufacturers version of this product.
• Outstanding corrosion resistance
• Applied at .5 to 1 mill DFT
• Suitable for all manufacturing processes, including welding, burning, rolling and some forming.
• Typically used where a light color is required
• Welding rates and quality are less favorable than inorganic

REDI-PLATE™ ED (extended duration)

• When a projects duration exceeds 9 months
• Applied at .9 to 1.25 mill DFT
• Suitable for all manufacturing processes, including welding, burning, rolling and some forming.
• Compatible with almost all types of topcoats and emersion applications.
• Considerations should be given with high speed welding and laser cutting

CPP - Clear Plate Preservative

CPP the abrasive cleaning and coating of plate with special chemicals to inhibit corrosion prior to fabrication, is cost effective and environmentally responsible, and eliminates the use of traditional oil to preserve the abrasive cleaned surface. The CPP treatment provides customers who use welding and finishing  techniques which are impaired any by zinc coating to obtain clean prepared plate which is free from mill scale.

Prior to processing the plate, we enter each plate into a database, recording all plate markings for re-marking on completion of the process. The plate is abrasive blast cleaned to SSPC-SP10/NACE No. 2, Near White Metal specification, through horizontal centrifugal blasting wheels using steel abrasive to provide a controlled profile of 1.5 - 2.5 mils. The steel grit is cleaned and recycled in a closed loop system.  Plates can be cleaned on one side only or both sides as desired.

The fabricator is able to flame, plasma or laser cut, shape and weld the processed plates to classification society standards with demonstrable cost benefits obtained from improved production and minimal surface preparation. The CPP fabricated product can then be prepared and coated with virtually any topcoat system.

Take advantage of this new service to North America and enjoy the savings associated with the use of CPP while avoiding the cost of environmental compliance associated with surface preparation and oils at the fabrication facility,
Benefits of CPP by Blastech:

• Eliminates blast and oil procedure
• Eliminates oil contamination of plate
• Reduces cost of blasting plate
• Eliminates cost of removal of oils prior to coating
• Computer controlled application to ensure a high quality standard
• Ease of cutting, shaping, welding and reduction of weld splatter removal cost by the fabricator
• Reduces need to clean rolling equipment

* Blastech also apples traditional coating, even taping edges when required. Contact us for your special requirements.
