Engineered Coatings for the Utility Sector

Cloverdale Paint’s coatings are designed to address the unique challenges facing the power industry: constant exposure to UV, wind, rain, snow, ice, pollution, and in some areas, salt spray. Our systems ensure optimal protection with minimal maintenance.

Coatings Provided:

• Zinc-Rich Primers: Provide cathodic protection to steel structures such as transmission towers and poles.
Epoxy Primers: Deliver excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance, ideal for both steel and aluminium substrates.
Polyurethane Topcoats: Offer superior UV resistance and colour stability for long-term protection.
DTM (Direct-to-Metal) Coatings: Simplify application while providing rust resistance and weather durability.
Fast-Dry Industrial Enamels: Ideal for utility structures requiring fast return-to-service and good weathering characteristics.
Moisture-Cured Urethanes: Enable application in variable field conditions including high humidity and cooler temperatures.
