About Surface Preparation

The primary objective of surface preparation is to provide maximum coating adhesion which is key to coating performance and long life.


The Coblaco Team relies on extensive experience and knowledge when understanding and controlling variables and relationships between substrates, media selection and methods. Using a variety of medias, materials and utilizing the most up to date customized equipment, our ability to drive the surface preparation portion of the specification is another way we continually separate ourselves from the competition.

Our internal training program and our commitment to outside industry training through the SSPC and NACE provides our team with the knowledge to understand and execute to every standard and specification.

“Surface preparation operations depend on so many variables. Surface to be cleaned, the type of structure, the equipment and methods, whether the work is being done in the shop or in the field, local environmental conditions, understanding regulations, and many other factors. Only experience will serve as a guide to the best methods of carrying out the operations”.
