From BC Hydro to major Canadian utilities, Cloverdale Paint is the trusted name in infrastructure protection.

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.

Benefits of Using Cloverdale Paint for Power Transmission & Distribution

  • Corrosion Resistance: Protect towers, substations, and poles from rust and atmospheric corrosion.
