Designs today are employing newer materials which require a base of knowledge that not everyone has. Even traditional substrates such as Steel or Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) require differing process steps. From the first step of surface preparation, knowing the correct way to prepare a surface for fairing is critical. This "foundation" step in the process ultimately determines the success or failure of the complete coatings system once finished. The proper choice and application of coatings materials is also critical. PMC has the proven experience and wealth of knowledge to specify and implement the best coatings system for all construction surfaces.
A disadvantage for a vessel's owner when considering a new paint job is not knowing the integrity of the old, ageing coatings system. Our Consulting Service capabilities allow PMC to determine the best course of action to take in providing a new coatings system of high integrity. If the old coatings system is too deteriorated to salvage, we'll tell you - as opposed to just "slapping" on a coat of paint for a quick solution.
