Metal surfaces go through a lot. From exposure to inclement weather to the wear and tear of everyday life, it’s no surprise that surface damage like holes, dents, and rust can occur over time. While blemishes are commonplace for various metals, you don’t have to live with the unsightly appearance. At Tampa Steel & Supply, we offer many additional services alongside our metal products, including blasting, priming, and galvanizing, to help you prevent and restore blemishes and wear and tear on your metal.
Blasting
Blasting is the answer to a variety of metal problems. Things like unsightly rust and old paint don’t stand a chance against blasting. The blasting process easily removes everything from rust to paint to scale and corrosion from metal surfaces. The result? Metal surfaces that are ready to be primed and painted or galvanized.
Priming
Primer is a type of paint commonly used to seal out air and act as a protective barrier between surfaces and a more durable top coat. By blending epoxy and other premium resins, primers can offer excellent corrosion resistance and adhesion characteristics. At Tampa Steel & Supply, we proudly carry Sumter Coating’s premium paints, including various primers to help prevent and restore any metal blemishes. Let us facilitate your own priming.
Galvanizing
Galvanizing is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to various metals to prevent rust. Once the zinc dries, it acts as a sacrificial coating to protect the metal from blemishes. At Tampa Steel & Supply, we offer galvanized spray, an organic cold galvanizing compound, to help repair and protect various metal surfaces. Additionally, we offer hot dip galvanizing, a process in which the material is dunked into a tank of molten zinc.
