Corrosion is a common problem in the industrial sector. It is a chemical process that corrodes the metal surface of industrial plants, making them unstable and weak. This can lead to dangerous situations and reduced productivity for your company. To protect your industrial constructions against the different forms of corrosion, an anti-corrosive metal layer can be applied to the steel surface.

This process is called metallisation and is done manually. With a spray gun, a zinc-aluminium alloy typically ZnAL 85/15 or aluminium alloy (thermal sprayed aluminium TSA, typically Al 99.9%) is sprayed on the installation. This is followed by a wet painting system, making your metal construction suitable again for numerous outdoor applications.

Metallisation layers can be applied electrically or with gas in your or our workshop but also on your site.

At Iris we have several metallisation machines that can offer some important advantages for your industrial installations, namely:

• It provides a cathodic protection against rust and other forms of corrosion, including under insulation
• It provides a perfect surface for industrial coating
• Through metallisation you extend the life of your metal constructions
• Also recommended for off-shore companies because it protects windmills, drilling platforms, etc. against the harsh sea climate
• Can be done in our workshop or on your site
