Manufacturing Plants: Elastomeric Coatings

September 10, 2021

Elastomeric coatings are elastic paints that provide outstanding waterproofing and weatherproofing solutions. High performance elastomeric paint is designed to protect your plant from allowing water to penetrate your interior and can be used on roofs, walls, or even floors. These rubberized coatings close hairline cracks and gaps to ensure an airtight waterproof seal ideal for concrete, brick, stucco, masonry, metal, wood and other common manufacturing facility surfaces.

Elastomeric coatings are applied in a liquid form that bonds and hardens to the application surface. Once dry, they retain its their flexibility and are highly durable. At the end of the day, hiring a painting contractor to enhance your manufacturing plant with elastomeric coatings can greatly increase your structure’s efficiency while providing cosmetic benefits as well.

Benefits of Elastomeric Coatings

Elastomeric coatings have a variety of benefits explored below.

  • Elastomeric paints are watertight. The paint offers surfaces a secure coating that moisture is unable to penetrate. As the coat dries, open pores are blocked.
  • Elastomeric coatings also boast superior weatherproofing capabilities, protecting your plant from wind and poor weather.
  • Density is another advantage of elastomeric coatings. Elastomeric paint is up to ten times thicker than regular paint. This gives the paint superior strength and toughness.
  • Longevity is another advantage of these coatings. Their strong make up allows them to last far longer than ordinary paints.
  • Elastomeric coatings are also highly flexible. Elastomeric is a bendable material that can move within the structure it is applied to, giving it the ability to shift during changes in climate or structure settling.
  • These coatings also resist cracking, peeling, flaking, chalking and blistering, as well as solvents, bacteria and microorganisms.
  • Aesthetically, elastomeric coatings seamlessly bridge imperfections and gaps, offering a smooth, clean surface.
  • Elastomeric coatings are available in a variety of colors and are resistant to color fading.
  • Elastomeric coatings are relatively painless to apply, boasting a fast dry time, impressive adhesion strength, and minimal odor.

Fall in Rhode Island is more than pumpkin patches and football weekends (to be clear, it is definitely mostly about that). But it’s also prime time for painting. The air is dry, the temperatures are steady, and the sun isn’t scorching your siding. It’s basically nature’s invitation to tackle projects you’ve been putting off. From exterior touch-ups to an interior refresh before the holidays, fall gives homeowners that rare combination of good weather and motivation, and that’s worth taking advantage of. Ready to grab a brush (or at least a plan) and get a few things checked off before the frost sets in? Consider this article your first line item. Why Fall Is Ideal for Painting in Rhode Island Autumn weather in New England offers something that painters love: stability. It’s not too hot, not too humid, and rarely too cold. Paint adheres better, dries evenly, and doesn’t blister under direct sunlight like it can in midsummer. Cooler temps also mean painters, whether you or a professional crew, can work longer without racing the clock or baking under a high sun. Add in fewer bugs, drier air, and reduced pollen, and you’ve got the recipe for beautiful finishes inside and out.
