Surface preparation sets the foundation for the success of every project, directly impacting the effectiveness and longevity of the coating. As the initial phase in any coating application, proper surface preparation helps achieve optimum performance, durability, and protection in industrial painting and specialty coating projects, affecting the following key factors in coating execution:

  • Improves adhesion
  • Prevent premature coating failure
  • Increases corrosion resistance
  • Enhances coating durability
  • Ensures safety and compliance
  • Enhances aesthetic quality
  • Optimizes cost-efficiency

Dry Abrasive Blasting

This time-tested method is the workhorse of our industry. We utilize traditional blast pots of all sizes and automated equipment to achieve optimal results, minimizing downtime while maximizing production. Our units are regularly upgraded to meet current safety, reliability, and production standards and expectations. Trust our experienced, knowledgeable, and cooperative staff to select the correct blast media, containment, and work plan, ensuring a safe and efficient schedule to meet your critical path requirements.

Wet/Vapor Abrasive Blasting

An environmentally friendly option for abrasive blasting is wet/vapor abrasive blasting, which uses water and sand under pressure to prepare the surface. By minimizing dust that is created by dry abrasive blasting, this method eliminates the need for containment while reducing clean-up costs. This system is ideal for pipelines, spheres, vessel tanks, concrete, and other surfaces normally dry blasted, providing the same profile and cleanliness using water technology.

Vacuum Blasting/Power Tooling

Vacuum blasting and power tooling are practical and sustainable options for removing hazardous materials from your facility. As the name suggests, vacuum blasting/power tooling blasts or mechanically removes hazardous materials from the substrate while providing containment during removal for disposal. This process makes these methods safe and ideal for small, sensitive environments.

High-Pressure Water Blasting

Cor-Ray Painting has extensive experience using water blasting as a safe, effective way of removing a wide range of contaminants from concrete and steel surfaces. Pressure washing allows us to prep a surface, effectively eliminating loose rust, dirt, previous coatings, loose scale, and foreign matter that would otherwise be detrimental to surface preparation. We use hot, cold, and steam water washing to meet the demands and needs of our customers.

Lead Abatement

Lead-based paint coatings provided superior corrosion resistance until 1978, when the federal government determined lead was a health risk and legislatively dictated that lead be removed from all paints. Obviously, that leaves countless steel structures, tanks, pipelines, power generating stations, and refineries, just to name a few, with hazardous, lead-based paints requiring remediation.

For decades, Cor-Ray Painting has safely and effectively abated lead and other heavy metals from structures and environments of all sizes and complexities, diligently abating hazardous materials from job sites safely and professionally.

In addition to our standard safety training, all lead abatement personnel undergo extensive training in lead awareness and hazardous waste disposal, including supervision by a certified Lead Competent Person, SSPC C5, Supervisor/Competent Person Training for De-leading Industrial Structures.

MechCo Group will continue to include Cor-Ray in our Pond service orders because of Tony and Chuck; what a dynamic duo! Tony and Chuck will probably say, “We were just doing our jobs.” I never take great employees for granted and wanted to pass on this valuable recognition.

It was really fun getting to know the team during the project. They were all helpful in answering my questions and made me feel completely at ease. The design ended up being twice as good as I could have ever envisioned!
