Construction
Steel buildings need a better finish.
Metal buildings, roofs, canopies, stairs and structural steel all rust. Builders, fabricators and owners need someone who can protect them in the shop or on site.
Who buys
The construction rust market
General contractors and steel fabricators need coatings applied to spec, on schedule. Building owners and property managers need rusting roofs, canopies and stairs fixed without a full replacement. Ag and post-frame builders deal with corrosive environments around livestock and fertilizer.
An applicator with a mobile rig can serve all of them, in the shop and in the field.
FAQ
Questions
Will the coating fade in sunlight?
Aromatic polyureas are extremely tough but can darken or chalk in direct sun. Where color and gloss matter, an aliphatic topcoat goes over them. That is a normal part of specifying exterior work.
Should I start mobile or in a shop?
Both work. A trailer-mounted rig takes you to docks, farms, plants and job sites; a shop setup suits vehicles, trailers and parts that can come to you. Many applicators start with one and add the other. We’ll help you match the setup to the markets you plan to chase.
What does it cost to start spraying rust coatings?
Most of the investment is the spray rig: a heated plural-component proportioner, heated hose, spray gun and either a trailer or a shop setup. Materials, training and safety gear add to that. The right package depends on whether you work mobile or from a bay and what you plan to spray first, so tell us your plans and we’ll put real package pricing in front of you, including financing options.
