Industrial coatings provide more than just an aesthetic finish to on industrial equipment or base materials. Industrial coatings are engineered barriers that protect parts from a wide variety of damages and extreme environments. Concrete, plastics, and metal materials are often strong on their own in many ways, but each of these base materials needs a layer of protective coating that adheres to its surface and protects it from corrosion. At the end of every coating process, parts should be inspected to ensure the coating is in line with acceptable parameters. Most industrial coatings need to fall within a certain degree of thickness to ensure they adequately cover the part and don’t obscure small details or complexities. Well-run paint lines have quality inspection standards in place to ensure that every coating project falls within acceptable thickness averages.
