Two SX-AE and one SX-B were requested from DBS Manufacturing for this job with a custom coating package added due to the corrosive coastal environment. Working with the customer specified coating manufacturer, DBS’s expert team worked to correctly select equipment, materials and coatings for this project.
Upon selection of the three-layer coating system, extensive analyses were conducted using scientific method to ensure proper application. Preliminary tests were conducted on sample materials to confirm feasibility. For QC & QA purposes, “companion plates” were used throughout the surface preparation and coating application steps. Between the application of each coat, a series of tests were conducted, per ASTM standards, to ensure compliance with specifications. Upon overall completion, two additional tests were conducted to ensure overall adhesion strength of the coating and compliance with Dry Film Thickness (DFT) requirements. Detailed reports were provided to the customer to confirm compliance to technical specifications.
