How to Coat Barges

Proper application of ArmorPoxy’s coatings is essential to achieve the maximum lifespan and protection for your barge. Our epoxy and urethane solutions are formulated for ease of application, whether used on new or existing structures.

Step-by-Step Application Process:

1. Surface Preparation: Begin by cleaning the barge surface, removing any rust, dirt, or contaminants. Ensure the surface is dry and free of debris for optimal adhesion.
2. Epoxy Primer Application: Apply ArmorPoxy’s marine-grade epoxy primer to provide a secure foundation and enhance corrosion resistance. Allow it to dry according to the product specifications.
3. Epoxy or Urethane Coating: Based on your barge’s specific environmental conditions and operational requirements, apply either the ArmorPoxy epoxy or urethane coating. Use a brush, roller, or sprayer for an even, consistent coat.
4. Multiple Coats for Maximum Protection: For enhanced durability, apply multiple thin layers, allowing sufficient drying time between each coat. This step maximizes resistance to wear and environmental stress.
5. Final Inspection: Once the coating has cured, inspect for any missed spots or imperfections. Touch up as needed to ensure complete, uninterrupted coverage.

For comprehensive protection, choose ArmorPoxy’s advanced coating solutions for all your barge needs. Our urethane and epoxy systems are formulated to meet the unique challenges of maritime environments, providing superior durability, waterproofing, and corrosion resistance.
