Most bridges are coated with oil or oil alkyd paints containing lead compounds. Overcoating is gaining recognition as an alternative to complete removal of deteriorated lead-based coatings. Carboline understands that proper maintenance coatings systems can enhance the properties and greatly extend the service life of your lead based systems, while minimizing annual maintenance painting costs.
The service life of most existing paints can now be extended with high performance coatings that meet VOC requirements. In addition Carboline offers surface tolerant coatings that can be applied over minimally prepared surfaces and adhered rust. Carboline's low stress penetrating sealers, primers and top coats can actually improve the integrity of old coatings while offering outstanding barrier protection and compatibility over a wide variety of weathered films. We can help you choose the right coatings for your project with a proven overcoating history.
