Industrial Coatings Liverpool

New Guard Coatings supplies industrial and protective coating solutions for businesses across Liverpool and the wider Merseyside area.

Liverpool has a diverse industrial economy, with businesses operating across manufacturing, engineering, logistics, warehousing, construction and infrastructure. These industries often rely on machinery, structural steel, concrete floors and external assets that require ongoing maintenance and protection.

From large industrial facilities to individual maintenance projects, New Guard Coatings can help businesses identify suitable coating solutions based on their specific application.

Industrial Coating Solutions Across Liverpool

Different industries and surfaces require different levels of protection.

A manufacturer coating fabricated steel may have completely different requirements from a warehouse upgrading its flooring or an engineering company maintaining industrial machinery.

Suitable coating systems may be considered for compatible:

• Structural steel
• Fabricated metal
• Industrial machinery
• Manufacturing equipment
• Warehouse flooring
• Concrete floors
• Loading areas
• Metal roofs and cladding
• Electrical equipment
• Generators
• Transformers
• Valves
• Industrial infrastructure
• Commercial and industrial buildings

The most suitable coating system will depend on the substrate, surface condition, operating environment and required level of performance.

Protective Coatings for Manufacturers in Liverpool

Manufacturing businesses can operate in demanding environments where machinery, equipment and metal infrastructure are exposed to regular use.

Potential challenges can include:

• Mechanical wear
• Moisture
• Oil and grease
• Industrial contamination
• Abrasion
• Surface damage
• Corrosion

Suitable protective coating systems may be considered for compatible:

• Manufacturing machinery
• Equipment frames
• Production equipment
• Fabricated steel
• Metal housings
• Industrial components
• External infrastructure

Before applying a coating, the existing surface should be assessed for contamination, corrosion and failing coatings.

Appropriate surface preparation is essential for achieving good adhesion and long-term performance.

Industrial Floor Coatings in Liverpool

Industrial flooring is an important consideration for warehouses, factories, workshops and commercial facilities.

Concrete floors can experience significant wear from:

• Forklift traffic
• Pallet trucks
• Wheeled equipment
• Heavy machinery
• Foot traffic
• Oil and grease
• Abrasion
• Mechanical impact
• Regular cleaning

A suitable industrial flooring system can help provide a durable and practical surface for the intended environment.

Floor Coatings for Warehouses & Industrial Facilities

Different areas of an industrial facility can experience very different working conditions.

For example, a busy loading area may have different requirements from a low-traffic storage area or a manufacturing floor.

When selecting a flooring system, businesses should consider:

• Traffic levels
• Vehicle weights
• Load weights
• Wheel types
• Existing concrete condition
• Potential chemical exposure
• Cleaning requirements
• Available downtime

The flooring system should be selected around the actual demands placed on the surface.

Protective Coatings for Steel & Metal

Steel is widely used throughout industrial and commercial buildings across Liverpool.

Without suitable protection, exposed metal can become vulnerable to corrosion and surface deterioration.

Suitable coating systems may be considered for compatible:

• Structural steel
• Support structures
• Platforms
• Handrails
• Equipment frames
• Fabricated components
• External metalwork
• Industrial infrastructure

The required level of protection will depend on where and how the steel is being used.

Corrosion Protection for Steel

Before applying a protective coating system, steel should be assessed for:

• Rust
• Corrosion
• Oil and grease
• Dirt and dust
• Loose coatings
• Salt contamination
• Surface damage

Depending on the existing surface condition and coating specification, preparation may involve cleaning, mechanical preparation or abrasive blasting.

A suitable primer and topcoat system can then be selected based on the expected environmental exposure.

Coatings for Warehouses & Logistics Facilities

Liverpool and the surrounding Merseyside area are home to a wide range of warehouse and logistics operations.

These facilities can contain numerous surfaces requiring maintenance and protection.

Potential applications include:

• Concrete warehouse floors
• Loading areas
• Structural steel
• Plant rooms
• Equipment
• Maintenance areas
• External metalwork

High-traffic areas can experience more significant wear than other parts of a facility.

The coating system should therefore be selected based on the individual surface and how it is used.

Coatings for Machinery & Industrial Equipment

Industrial machinery can represent a significant investment for manufacturing and engineering businesses.

Over time, external surfaces may become affected by:

• Mechanical damage
• Oil and grease
• Corrosion
• General industrial contamination
• Environmental exposure

Suitable coating systems may be considered for compatible:

• Machine housings
• Production equipment
• Equipment frames
• Fabricated machinery
• Metal components
• Industrial enclosures

For refurbishment projects, the existing surface should be cleaned and suitably prepared before applying a new coating system.

Oil and grease contamination should be properly addressed to help support good coating adhesion.

Industrial Roof & Cladding Coatings

Industrial buildings can require ongoing maintenance to roofs and wall cladding.

Metal surfaces may be exposed to:

• Rain and moisture
• UV exposure
• Temperature changes
• Surface contamination
• General weathering

Over time, existing coatings can deteriorate.

Before applying a maintenance system, the existing surface should be assessed for its condition, contamination and coating adhesion.

Suitable preparation is essential before carrying out coating work.

Coatings for Electrical Infrastructure

Businesses across Liverpool may operate and maintain a range of electrical and industrial infrastructure.

Suitable applications may include compatible:

• Transformers
• Generators
• Electrical boxes
• Control cabinets
• Metal enclosures
• Equipment housings

The correct coating system should be selected based on the individual operating environment.

Outdoor infrastructure may require greater consideration of moisture, UV exposure and corrosion.

Surface Preparation Before Applying Industrial Coatings

Surface preparation can significantly influence the performance of an industrial coating system.

Before applying a coating, surfaces should be assessed for:

• Oil and grease
• Dirt and dust
• Rust and corrosion
• Loose coatings
• Salt contamination
• Moisture
• Surface damage

The preparation method will depend on the substrate and proposed coating system.

Steel may require cleaning, mechanical preparation or abrasive blasting. Concrete floors may require grinding or shot blasting to create a suitable surface for coating.

A clean, sound and suitably prepared substrate provides the foundation for good coating adhesion and long-term performance.

Will the surface be located indoors or outdoors?

Expected Exposure

Will the surface experience:

• Moisture?
• Chemicals?
• Oils?
• UV exposure?
• Abrasion?
• Vehicle traffic?

Required Performance

How durable does the coating system need to be?
