Stop accepting short-lived coatings as “normal.”
Unplanned maintenance during an outage is expensive—especially when it’s the direct result of coating failure. Coating blisters, delamination, oxidation, and under-deposit pitting can threaten plant integrity and shorten the life of critical assets.
At Curran International, we believe coatings should survive multiple turnarounds, not fail after the first.
Why Coatings Fail
Even the best coating formula can fail if it’s:
- Mismatched to operating conditions – Exceeding the coating’s temperature, chemical, or pressure limits.
- Applied over poor surface prep – Contaminants or insufficient anchor profile prevent adhesion.
- Put into service too soon – Many epoxies need 5+ days to fully cure at 70°F, even if tack-free within hours.
How Curran Coatings Last Longer
- Correct Selection – We match the coating to every operating and maintenance condition, including online steam cycling and chemical cleaning.
- Flawless Surface Prep – Achieving NACE 1 white metal blast cleanliness, verified contaminant removal, and proper anchor profile.
- Proper Curing – Ensuring coatings are fully polymerized before immersion service.
