Industrial Coatings Salford | Protective Coatings | New Guard Coatings

New Guard Coatings supplies industrial and protective coating solutions for businesses across Salford and Greater Manchester.

Salford is home to a wide range of industrial, engineering, construction, warehousing and commercial businesses. Across these sectors, machinery, structural steel, concrete floors and industrial infrastructure can all require ongoing maintenance and protection.

Whether the project involves protecting steelwork, refurbishing machinery, upgrading an industrial floor or maintaining external infrastructure, the correct coating system should always be selected around the specific application.

Industrial Coating Solutions in Salford

Suitable industrial coating systems can be considered for a wide range of compatible applications, including:

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

The most suitable coating will depend on the substrate, surface condition, environmental exposure and required performance.

Protective Coatings for Manufacturing & Engineering

Manufacturing and engineering environments can place significant demands on equipment and infrastructure.

Machinery and metal surfaces may be exposed to:

Mechanical wear
Oil and grease
Moisture
Industrial contamination
Abrasion
General operational wear

Suitable protective coating systems may be considered for compatible:

Machine housings
Equipment frames
Production equipment
Fabricated steel
Metal components
Industrial enclosures

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

Machinery Refurbishment & Maintenance

Industrial machinery can become visually and physically affected by years of use.

Where appropriate, a refurbishment project may involve:

Cleaning and degreasing
Removing loose or failing coatings
Treating corrosion
Preparing exposed surfaces
Applying a suitable primer
Applying a compatible protective coating system

Surface preparation is particularly important where machinery has been exposed to oil and grease.

Contamination must be suitably addressed before applying a new coating.

Industrial Floor Coatings in Salford

Industrial flooring can experience continuous use within warehouses, factories, workshops and commercial facilities.

Concrete floors may be exposed to:

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 create a durable and practical surface for the intended working environment.

Concrete Floor Preparation

The performance of an industrial flooring system depends heavily on the condition of the concrete substrate.

Before applying a coating, the floor should be assessed for:

Existing coatings
Moisture
Oil and grease
Surface damage
Cracks
Weak concrete
Laitance
Previous repairs

Depending on the condition of the floor, suitable mechanical preparation may include grinding or shot blasting.

Protective Coatings for Steelwork

Steelwork is widely used across industrial and commercial buildings.

Without suitable protection, exposed steel can become vulnerable to corrosion.

Suitable coating systems may be considered for compatible:

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

The level of protection required should be based on the operating environment.

Indoor steelwork may require a different approach from external structures exposed to continuous moisture and weathering.

Corrosion Protection for Steel

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

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

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

Cleaning, mechanical preparation or abrasive blasting may be required before the selected primer and topcoat system is applied.

Coatings for Warehouses & Logistics Facilities

Warehouses and logistics facilities can contain a wide range of surfaces requiring ongoing maintenance.

Suitable applications may include:

Warehouse floors
Loading areas
Structural steel
Plant rooms
Maintenance areas
Equipment
External infrastructure

Different areas of the same facility can experience very different conditions.

A busy loading area with regular vehicle movement may require a different solution from a storage area with low levels of traffic.

The coating system should be selected according to the actual demands placed on the surface.

Industrial Roof & Cladding Coatings

Metal roofs and cladding can be exposed to changing weather conditions throughout the year.

Over time, surfaces may be affected by:

Rain and moisture
UV exposure
Temperature changes
Surface contamination
General weathering

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

Suitable preparation is essential before carrying out maintenance or refurbishment work.

Coatings for Electrical Equipment

Industrial and commercial sites can contain electrical infrastructure requiring suitable surface protection.

Potential applications may include:

Transformers
Generators
Electrical boxes
Control cabinets
Metal enclosures
Equipment housings

The appropriate coating system should be selected according to the operating environment and expected exposure.

External equipment may require particular consideration of corrosion, moisture and UV exposure.

Surface Preparation Before Applying Industrial Coatings

Surface preparation is one of the most important stages of an industrial coating project.

Before applying a new system, the surface should be assessed for:

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

The preparation method will depend on the substrate.

Steel may require cleaning, mechanical preparation or abrasive blasting. Concrete floors may require mechanical preparation such as grinding or shot blasting.

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

Industrial Maintenance in Salford

Regular maintenance can help businesses protect suitable assets before surface deterioration becomes more extensive.

Over time, coatings may deteriorate due to:

Mechanical damage
Corrosion
Environmental exposure
Heavy traffic
Industrial contamination
General wear

A maintenance project may involve assessing the existing surface, identifying damaged areas and carrying out appropriate preparation before applying a suitable coating system.

Choosing the Right Industrial Coating

Every industrial project has different requirements.

Before selecting a coating system, consider:

The Substrate

What material is being coated?

Surface Condition

Is the surface new, previously coated, damaged or affected by corrosion?

The Environment

Will the asset be located indoors or outdoors?

Expected Exposure

Will the surface experience:

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

Application Requirements

Consider surface preparation, application methods and available downtime.
