Surface Treatment & Protection

Our Services

At IWES Ltd, we understand that equipment durability starts with superior surface protection. Our Surface Treatment & Protection services are designed to combat the toughest environmental challenges — including saltwater exposure, heavy-duty wear, and industrial corrosion. Whether you’re maintaining offshore containers, steel structures, or machinery, we provide solutions that extend service life and reduce downtime.

Corrosion & Rust Removal

Before any coating or painting is applied, surface integrity must be restored. Our corrosion and rust removal process includes:

Abrasive blasting (sand/metal blast) to strip down surfaces to bare metal
Degreasing and contaminant removal using industrial-grade cleaners like HYDI
Manual and mechanical preparation for precision treatment of hard-to-reach areas

This step is critical to ensuring proper adhesion and maximizing the lifespan of your coating system.

Industrial Painting

We offer high-performance painting services using marine-grade and offshore-rated coatings engineered for maximum durability.

Our coating options include:

Epoxy-based systems for chemical and impact resistance
Anti-corrosive primers for long-term steel protection
UV-resistant topcoats for outdoor and offshore exposure
Two-component polyurethane coatings for high-traffic surfaces

Our team follows strict protocols for surface profile inspection, humidity control, and drying times to ensure flawless application.
