Built to Last: Why Industrial Coatings Matter

The Costly Toll of Corrosion

Industrial systems like refineries and pipelines are constantly exposed to intense, high-pressure environments. Over time, exposure to moisture, chemicals, and harsh weather can lead to gradual corrosion of metal surfaces. This is not just a cosmetic concern, as corrosion has a significant economic impact, consuming about 3–4% of the world’s GDP (over $2.5 trillion annually). However, implementing effective corrosion control strategies, including the use of  industrial coatings can reduce these losses, with experts estimating 15–35% in potential savings through improved corrosion management.

Protective Coatings: Your Infrastructure’s Shield

From pipelines to giant storage tanks, protective coatings act as a critical shield that keeps steel and concrete from rusting or degrading. These specialized paints (e.g.,often epoxies, polyurethanes, or zinc-rich primers)form a durable barrier that shields materials from corrosion and environmental wear. When coatings fail, the results can be serious:   pitting, leaks, and potential environmental hazards. The EPA warns that even small corrosion breaches can result in significant contamination. That’s why regulators enforce corrosion protection, especially on fuel storage tanks and pipelines. Similarly, OSHA enforces strict safety standards for abrasive blasting and coating application to ensure worker protection. Ultimately, industrial coatings are not just about appearance, they are essential for safety, compliance, and long-term asset protection.

Arena Painting’s Certified Expertise

Protecting high-value infrastructure is a job for trained professionals. Arena Painting’s team brings decades of experience taking on  complex, high-stakes industrial coating projects in refineries, water treatment plants, and chemical facilities. Our workforce includes SSPC-certified Coating Applicator Specialists, OSHA 10- and 30-hour trained employees, and skilled operators qualified for pipeline work. We operate under strict safety protocols, including confined space entry, fall protection, respiratory protection, to ensure work is done safely and in full compliance with regulations. Equally important is our commitment to quality execution: we emphasize thorough surface preparation to ensure new coatings bond properly.  Depending on the project’s environment, we apply high-performance systems:

• Epoxies for chemical resistance
