Guides, best practices, and industry knowledge from Endurance Painting — Michigan's industrial coating specialists with 35+ years in the field.
Specialty Coatings
Glass flake epoxy achieves barrier properties standard coatings can't match — but only when platelets orient correctly during application. Brush and roller destroys that orientation. Here's what facility managers need to know.

Specialty Coatings
EPA SPCC regulations require secondary containment that is chemically impervious and defect-free. Spray polyurea gels in 2–6 seconds — the only way to apply it is with a Graco Reactor 3 plural component proportioner.

Specialty Coatings
Glass mat reinforced vinyl ester linings provide structural reinforcement and chemical resistance no coating can match — but catalyst ratio errors during application are where most failures originate. Here's why plural component metering is required.

Specialty Coatings
Not all industrial coatings are the same. Understanding the differences between epoxy, urethane, zinc-rich primers, and high-solids systems can mean the difference between a 5-year and 20-year coating life.

Specialty Coatings
Standard bisphenol-A epoxy fails in aromatic hydrocarbon service and at elevated temperatures. Novolac epoxy holds — but its chemistry and viscosity demand plural component spray application to perform as specified on API 652 projects.
