Coating
De Boer Staal's coating line generally applies zinc-silicate shop primer to steel treated with abrasive blasting. Steel treated with zinc-silicate shop primer is primarily used in the shipbuilding and offshore industries during the first few months of construction of a vessel or offshore platform. The choice of a shop primer is primarily determined by the zinc content of the primer. A coating with a high zinc content offers more durable protection against corrosion, while a coating with a lower zinc content has better resistant properties in terms of cutting and welding.
