Blackhawk Painting, Inc. offers industrial painting services for silos, which include specialized equipment, tools and skill set.

Industrial paint can be a vital barrier to protect your structure against natural and chemical elements that could destroy them. No matter what your silo is made of, any painting job is only as good as the prep work. Storage tank painting is a complex job but one that is crucial for making sure this piece of equipment will last for years.

Preparation

Before applying any type of silo painting or storage tank coating it’s critical to remove the rust and peeling paint from the silo or storage tank by mechanical abrasion using sanding, blasting or wire brushing methods. Rust resistant primers, epoxy or alkyd, are applied to assure corrosion resistance.

We also clean and coat all types of storage silos. USDA, FDA, NSF, and other specifications strictly followed when applicable. Finally, the type of coatings chosen must be able to endure moist atmosphere conditions.

Safety

Our skilled industrial painting teams are trained to work in confined spaces, use scaffolding, are EPA Lead-Safe Certified in lead abatement, and are routinely trained to follow the latest safety procedures.
