Surface Preparation Cleaning for Industrial Equipment - New York - Albany ID1650356

Industrial surface preparation is the process of cleaning and treating a metal surface before any coating, paint, or protective layer is applied to it. It removes rust, grease, mill scale, old paint, dirt, and other harmful substances from the surface. Without this step, no coating no matter how good will bond properly to the metal.

Chemted offers professional surface preparation and industrial cleaning services that are designed specifically for heavy industrial equipment. Every project follows strict quality standards.

Why This Step Cannot Be Skipped

Research from the protective coatings industry consistently shows that up to 80 percent of all coating failures happen because of poor surface preparation not because of the coating itself. A coating applied to a properly prepared surface can last 15 to 25 years. The same coating on a poorly prepared surface may fail within just two or three years.

Chemted Surface Preparation Services

A Complete Range of Cleaning Methods

Chemted provides a full range of industrial surface preparation and cleaning methods to cover every type of equipment and every operating environment. The right method is selected based on the type of metal, the condition of the surface, the coating to be applied, and the standards required by the customer or regulator.

Abrasive Blasting

The most powerful method for industrial surface preparation. High-velocity abrasive particles such as steel grit or garnet are directed at the metal surface using compressed air. This strips away rust, mill scale, and old coatings, leaving a clean, profiled surface ready for coating. Chemted follows SSPC and ISO 8501 blasting standards on every job.

Industrial Degreasing

Grease and oil must be removed before any other preparation work begins. Chemted uses industrial-grade solvents and alkaline cleaners to fully degrease metal surfaces. This step is always done first because blasting a greasy surface simply pushes contamination deeper into the metal ruining the job before it starts.
