Industrial corrosion control & protective coating systems

Corrosion is a balance-sheet problem before it is an aesthetic one. Maverick applies protective coating stacks matched to exposure class, with surface preparation, recoat windows, and film-build documentation that survives insurer and engineer scrutiny when assets fail in service.

Hand prep suits mild atmospheres; blast or mechanical prep suits aggressive cells. Zinc-rich primers never ship over flash rust unless the specification explicitly allows, we protect balance sheets from shortcut metal prep.

Zinc-rich, epoxy, polyurethane, and high-temperature films build per engineer datasheets. DFT maps, repair notes, and stripe coats are filed so third-party QA or insurers can reconstruct what was applied where.

Chemical matrices drive lining choice alongside flooring packages. We book third-party hold points when clients appoint NACE-minded inspectors and sequence repairs around cure windows the process cannot ignore.

Our coatings approach

Approved systems. Measured films. Auditable handover.

PHASE_01

Surface preparation scales with exposure

Hand prep suits mild atmospheres; blast or mechanical prep suits aggressive cells.

PHASE_02

System stacks, not single coats

Zinc-rich, epoxy, polyurethane, and high-temperature films build per engineer datasheets.

PHASE_03

Bunds, tanks, and chemical exposures

Chemical matrices drive lining choice alongside flooring packages.

PHASE_04

Shutdown coordination & hot-work discipline

Live plants need hot-work permits, gas-free certificates, and confined-space plans that match daily reality.

Phase 01 / Assessment

Silo exterior corrosion arrest

Blast-recycle containment prevented environmental complaints while a zinc-rich multicoat stack was applied between planned maintenance outages.

Specialized coating service pages

Industrial floors, hygienic walls, and architectural texture systems carry different compliance expectations. Each spoke below targets the procurement language and QA artefacts buyers expect before mobilisation.

  • Epoxy floors & polyurethane flooring

    Chemical resistance, traffic ratings, fast-cure options, and QA documentation for warehouses, plants, and retail back-of-house.

  • Cemcrete floors

    Decorative cement floor finishes with slab checks, colour samples, sealer selection, and clean maintenance handover.

  • Wall cladding

    Preparation, sealing, coating, and maintenance for feature walls, facade cladding, fixings, joints, and exposed edges.

Live plants need hot-work permits, gas-free certificates, and confined-space plans that match daily reality. Night crews extend windows only when those controls stay in force, no silent trade-off on safety files.

Frequently asked questions

Technical answers for procurement teams, trustees, and facility managers in Gauteng.

Do you blast clean?

We partner certified blasting where specifications demand; Maverick manages coating application QA.

What systems do you apply?

Zinc-rich primers, epoxies, polyurethanes, and high-temperature silicones per engineer datasheets.

Can you work in live plants?

Often yes with hot-work controls and containment; risk assessments define no-go zones.

Do you provide DFT reports?

Yes, elcometer logs and repair maps are standard on QA scopes.

How does this differ from factory painting?

Corrosion control focuses on protective stacks for steel and chemical exposure; factory painting may include broader interior programmes. See our industrial painting spoke for full plant scopes.

Our Unbeatable Guarantee

De-Risking Your Multi-Million Rand Asset.

Unlike standard contractors who rely on biased, in-house quality checks, we use a trusted, independent third-party QA company on all projects. This is our commitment to verifiably superior quality.

  1. 01

    Substrate Specification & Assessment

    A dedicated project manager and the independent body conduct an on-site assessment to determine the correct coating system and technical specification required for your specific asset.

  2. 02

    Continuous Application Inspection

    The independent company performs continuous application inspections at every critical stage (surface prep, primer, film thickness) to ensure manufacturer requirements are met before the final coat.

  3. 03

    Verifiable Bi-Weekly Reporting

    You receive bi-weekly progress and substrate reports providing a complete, recorded history of the project. This delivers objective proof of quality and total peace of mind for trustees and facility managers.
