Tandemloc's Paint Process

   

Video Transcript

Time: 0:00-0:09

Tandemloc designs its products to function in some of the harshest operating environments in the world, which is why we take our products' finish very seriously.

Time: 0:09-0:18

Every below-the-hook lifter Tandemloc manufactures is blasted with medium grit aluminum oxide to ensure we are not painting over any rust, corrosion, oil, mill scale, or other contaminants.

Time: 0:18-0:27

This process provides a good adhesive surface for our paint. Tandemloc has products meant to be used specifically in marine environments, like our Autoloc spreaders.

Time: 0:27-0:34

These products receive an additional protective layer after being media blasted. This protective layer is a thermal zinc coating applied through a metalizing process.

Time: 0:34-0:39

That automatically bonds the corrosion-resistant zinc particles to the blasted surface.

Time: 0:39-0:48

The thermal zinc process is like galvanized steel when it comes to corrosion resistance. These thermal zinc products are then primed and painted, giving them an added layer of protection with the same high gloss finish.

Time: 0:48-0:59

The next step is to paint the products with a two-part epoxy marine-grade primer and finish with a two-part epoxy high gloss top coat paint. This standard high gloss finish serves as an excellent deterrent against corrosion in those harsh environments where Tandemloc products are most often used.
