A Heavy Duty coating is a paint or coating defined by its protective, rather than its aesthetic properties, although it can provide both. The most common use of industrial coatings is for corrosion control of steel structures such as offshore platforms, bridges and underground pipelines, electrical transformers, military vehicles, factories etc.
Offering higher levels of protection against extreme conditions, our heavy-
With a long track record as one of the highest quality products for heavy duty coatings, our range offers different coating systems for any environmental conditions providing lasting protection against acids and alkali, as well as UV stability and water-
Our Protective Coatings business offers a technologically driven product range to protect steel structures at new construction and maintenance in a wide range of environments and industries.
You have a very important investment in the contents of your industrial or manufacturing facility. Whether you own that facility, have the responsibility for maintaining it, or both, this facility represents a vital element for your business and profits, as well as representing a liability if neglected. Protecting that investment is your roof, which attracts little attention until it leaks.
Working tirelessly and quietly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for many years, your industrial roof is exposed to the elements, weather, sun, airborne pollution, rain etc. — all of which take their toll on its metal surface and normally resulting in corrosion.
This is true for basically any metal surface. When you make anything out of mild steel, you have 1 of 3 options:
The effects of corrosion will cause the roof fasteners to corrode and allow entry for water into your structure if given enough time. Corrosion will also wear through sheet steel, causing it to become very weak, perforated, to leak, and eventually need replacement.
The results of the steel wearing out include costly damages to equipment, inventory, operations, shutdowns, safety hazards, and costly on-
Due to these factors we have a wide range of industrial single pack and twin pack primers, single pack and twin pack top coats, “2 in 1” primer –topcoat systems, to name but a few.
Coatings and Allied have a well equipped team of consultants / representatives that is able to see you on sight and advice on the best, most economic or balanced coating system available to suit your needs.
Decorative Paint is a broad term used to describe the products used in various non-
This includes a range of water-
Basically any paint or coating that you would normally use at your own home would fall into this category. There are also many waterproofing products that would form part of this banner.
We have an expansive range of products covering every aspect of painting your home, walls, roof, window frames, doors, as well as options that suit every pocket.

What is a Solvent? Painting tools for solvent-based paints Solvents are substances intended for dissolving, diluting or separating products – in this instance paints and varnishes. Industrial paint applications are often limited to organic solvents. In DIY paints, solvents are still found relatively often in paints for wood surfaces.
There are many different types of individual solvents – roughly one hundred – employed for different applications. Solvents evaporate easily, emitting Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are a potential human health hazard and harmful to the environment.
Solvents are used in paint manufacture to dissolve the different compounds used in the paint formulation such as colour and binder, making the paint the correct consistency for application. Once the paint has been applied the solvent evaporates, allowing the resin and pigment to produce a film of paint and to dry rapidly.
Without solvents it is extremely difficult to produce durable, decorative and, in particular, glossy paints for use both indoors and outdoors to withstand all conditions.
Solvents evaporate readily and thus reduce energy consumption and minimise costs. Solvent based systems dry up to 10 times faster at room temperature than low solvent alternatives, keeping production rates up, costs down and minimising energy consumption.
A manufacturer can use different solvents to produce coatings with very diverse characteristics. For example, modern high-
The flexibility given by solvents means that the whole performance of a system can be optimised, not least for the quantity of materials used, resulting in environmental gain. To minimise total consumption of solvents, high-

The function of organic solvents in paint relates to certain properties it brings to facilitates the paints application, its drying, and the formation of a regular paint film. During application and drying, the solvent evaporates. Ideally a dry paint film no longer contains solvent. However when they evaporate, these solvents release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere, with a negative, toxic impact on the environment.
Fifty years ago, virtually all paint was solvent-
Spear headed by (but not limited to) to regulatory developments in Europe, we continue to see stricter paint VOC regulations across the planet.
Through extensive research and development, we have successfully developed and implemented water based systems to replace solvent based products in many industries:
For example:
Sprayed QD Primer systems
Dipped QD Primer systems
Sprayed QD Primer / Topcoat systems
Dipped QD Primer / Topcoat systems
Epoxy Primer systems
Twin pack Polyurethane systems
Many Companies have followed the water based coating system to aid in achieving their ISO 14000 accreditation
